The core-shell particles can be in a powder form (e.g., a dry powder). In pellet form, shells of adjacent core-shell particles are joined to resist separation of the adjacent core-shell particles and deformation of a respective pellet. Methods of forming a ceramic-polymer composite comprise: superheating a mixture of the semi-crystalline polymer (PPS, PAEK, PBT, PP, PE, SC PI, and SC Polyamide), solvent, and the ceramic (Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and/or ZrO<sub>2</sub>), to dissolve the semi-crystalline polymer in the solvent; agitating the superheated mixture while substantially maintaining the mixture at an elevated temperature and pressure; and cooling the mixture to cause the semi-crystalline polymer to precipitate on the particles of the ceramic and thereby form a plurality of the present semi-crystalline polymer-ceramic core-shell particles. Methods of molding a part comprise subjecting a powder of the present semi-crystalline polymer-ceramic core-shell particles that substantially fills a mold to a first pressure while the powder is at or above a first temperature above a melting temperature (T<sub>m</sub>) of the semi-crystalline polymers.
