Abstract: The present invention relates to a variety of dispersible doped multi-component BaTiO.sub.3 based powder compositions. The primary particles of each of the products are substantially spherical, have sizes in the range of 0.05 to 0.4 microns and have narrow size distributions. Further, the compositions of the primary particles, forming each powder, are comparable. The amount of dopant oxide or oxides contained in the powder composition ranges from between greater than 1 to 10 mole percent. Regardless of the dopant or dopants utilzied, all the powder compositions of the present invention are identified by the same unique morphological characteristics.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to an improved furnace process for producing carbon blacks by the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbonaceous feedstock wherein the resultant blacks have higher surface areas than the carbon blacks normally prepared from the feedstocks, as a result of which the blacks are particularly suitable for use in imparting conductivity properties to plastic materials and the like. This disclosure also relates to the production of a novel class of furnace blacks having excellent conductivity properties and which are characterized by high surface areas and low pH values.
