Ba{sub 1+x}Zr{sub 4}P{sub 6-2x}Si{sub 2x}O{sub 24} or BS compounds (O{le}x{le}0.5) were synthesized by the sintering of powders formed by a solid-state reaction. Thermal and mechanical properties of BS were studied as a function of composition. It was found that the bulk linear thermal expansion varied with increasing x and was negative for BS with x=0.5. Among the BS compositions investigated, BS with x=0.375 had the highest flexural strength, Young`s modulus and hardness.
