surface-modified silicon carbide particles has been studied via observation of the rheological
behaviour. Only the cationic dispersants were effective for the as-received SiC, with
polyethyleneimine being superior to Hyamine 2389 probably as a result of a greater
electrosteric interaction. SiC particles modified using Al(NO3)3 behaved like alumina and so
could be dispersed using the anionic dispersants ammonium polyacrylate and
polymethacrylate. Such dispersions displayed no heteroaggregation when alumina was added,
although the order of mixing could significantly affect the rheological behavior of the
suspension. Nevertheless, the suspensions appeared robust to slight fluctuations in pH.
