Abstract: A prepreg for a ceramic matrix composite, a process for the preparation of a green body with the help of the prepreg, and a process for the preparation of the ceramic matrix composite from the green body prepared according to the present invention are provided. The inventive process comprises the following steps: a) impregnating an arrangement of ceramic fibers with a slurry, which slurry comprises the following components: (i) 10 to 40 vol.-%, based on the total volume of the slurry, of ceramic particles, (ii) an alcoholic organic solvent selected from: (ii-1) 21 to 35 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the ceramic particles in the slurry, of glycerol, (ii-2) 10 to 35 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the ceramic particles in the slurry, of an oligo or polyethylene glycol with an average molecular weight of at most 800 g/mol, (ii-3) 10 to 35 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the ceramic particles in the slurry, of at least one C2-C6 alkane diol, and (ii-4) 10 to 35 wt.
