Abstract
A suspension containing a polypropylene-based high-molecular weight or ganic vehicle and an alumina powder (which best satisfied criteria for successful compounding, compression moulding, removal of organic vehi cle and sintering stages, each necessary for the fabrication of the fi nal ceramic shape) was further assessed in this investigation. Test ba rs were injection moulded from this suspension under various condition s. After removing the organic vehicle, test bars were sintered and the resulting microstructure studied. The mechanical properties of the te st bars will be discussed in Part II.
