   Such solid/liquid combinations, which would be slurries or gels depending   
   on particle size, have potential but are *very* difficult to work with.   
   Slurries tend to settle, gels tend to do all sorts of unkind things.  Both   
   are difficult to make reproducibly, difficult to pump, difficult even to   
   measure quantities of.
