Abstract: Thermoplastic materials containing ceramic powders as fillers are prepared by introducing the thermoplastics into a mixing zone comprising a plurality of zones. The thermoplastics are melted in a first zone.

In the fourth zone, the melt containing the ceramic powder is compressed and extruded. The process is suitable for the preparation of thermoplastic materials having a degree of filling of from 40 to 80% by volume of ceramic powders.
