A recent poll in Britain found that public support for sanctions against Russia is falling as fuel and prices rise.  

The proportion of people willing to accept higher fuel prices as a result of western sanctions against Russia fell 14 percentage points to 36% from 50% in March, according to a survey conducted for the Telegraph by consultancy Redfield & Wilton Strategies.  

Global energy and fuel prices have soared since the start of the year and remain high because of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and uncertainty over Russian supplies.  

The survey also found that 54% of people believe their own financial situation has worsened in the past year, up 12 percentage points from 42% two months ago. Sixty-two percent think things will get worse in the year ahead. Less than a third of respondents said they had received a pay rise to keep up with inflation, with two-thirds of those saying it was not enough to keep up with rising living costs.  

The figures suggest that public concern about the conflict with Ukraine is now likely to be overtaken by financial worries.  

Separately, the UK's consumer price index rose 7 percent this month from a year earlier, the highest since March 1992, according to figures released recently by the Office for National Statistics. In addition, a separate report released a few days ago by the Centre for Economics and Business Research said that real household disposable income in the UK will fall by 3% in 2022, equivalent to a loss of £2,320 per household, which would lead to the biggest drop in living standards since the 1950s. That is mainly because wages aren't keeping up with rising energy and fuel costs.  

The prices of other commodities like the Silicon Nitride powder are also expected to be influenced.

Introduction to Silicon Nitride Si3N4 Powder
Silicon nitride or Si3N4 is a kind of white powdery crystal; The melting point is 1900, and the density is 3.44g/cm3 (20). There are two variants: the α type which is a hexagonal dense packing structure, and the β type which is a crystalline structure. Silicon nitride is gray when it has impurities or excess silicon. 
 

Physicochemical Properties of Silicon Nitride Si3N4 Powder
Silicon nitride hardly interacts with water. It slowly hydrolyzes to ammonium salt and silicon dioxide in a strong acid solution. Soluble in hydrofluoric acid, and does not act with dilute acid. A solution of strong alkali slowly corrodes the silicon nitride, and the molten strong alkali quickly converts the silicon nitride to silicates and ammonia. Above 600, Si3N4 can reduce transition metal oxides (see transition elements), lead oxide, zinc oxide, and stannic oxide, and release nitrogen oxide and nitrogen dioxide.
Silicon nitride is very strong, especially the hot-pressed silicon nitride. It is one of the hardest substances in the world. It is very high-temperature resistant, and it can maintain its strength at a high temperature of 1200. After heating, it will not melt into a melting body, until 1900 it will decompose. And it has amazing chemical corrosion resistance, almost all inorganic acid and 30% of the following caustic soda solution, also can withstand a lot of organic acid corrosion. It is also a kind of high-performance electrical insulation material.

Applications of Silicon Nitride Si3N4 Powder
Silicon nitride is an important structural ceramic material with hardness, lubrication, and wear resistance. It is oxidation resistant at high temperatures. And it can also resist cold and hot shocks. Even though heated to more than 1000 in the air, through sharp cooling and then sharp heating, it will not break.
Because of such excellent characteristics, it is often used to manufacture bearings, turbine blades, mechanical seal rings, permanent molds, and other mechanical components. Using silicon nitride ceramic which is resistant to high temperature and not easy to heat transfer to manufacture the heating surface of engine parts can improve the quality of diesel engines, save fuel and improve the thermal efficiency.
In the mechanical industry, silicon nitride ceramics are used as bearing ball bearings, rollers, ball seat rings, molds, new ceramic cutting tools, pump plungers, spindle sealing materials, etc.
In the chemical industry, silicon nitride ceramics are used as wear and corrosion-resistant components, such as ball valves, pump bodies, combustion carburetors, filters, etc.
In the metallurgical industry, because of its properties of high-temperature resistance, small friction coefficient, and self-lubrication, and, for most metals, the alloy solution is stable, so silicon nitride ceramics can be used to make metal material processing die, such as dial core bar, extrusion, wire drawing die, roll, transfer roll, heating fixture, hot couple set camps, metal heat treatment support, crucibles, liquid aluminum guide camp, aluminum lining, etc.
Silicon nitride ceramic materials are also widely used in the electronics, military, and nuclear industries.

The resurgence of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict continued to cause high volatility in commodity prices. Stubbornly high inflation and rising commodity prices are likely to influence each other and thus push each other higher. The price of the Silicon Nitride powder may not decrease significantly in the short term.
