Abstract

Silicon carbide whiskers such as those used in reinforcing ceramic composites are deagglomerated by dispersing the whiskers in an aqueous silane dispersant comprising a silane containing nonreactive hydrocarbon groups and reactive hydrolyzable groups, a cationic lubricant and an acid to provide a dispersant pH of about 3.5 to about 6.0. The whiskers can be deagglomerated prior to mixing with the ceramic powder used to form the composite or the whiskers, ceramic powder and aqueous silane dispersant can be mixed simultaneously. Dispersal permits classification and selection of specific aspect ratio distributions for the ceramic composite. Deagglomeration permits use of higher vol. % SiC whiskers while still attaining greater than 99% density.
