A brief review of the methods of fabrication of single crystalline oxide fibres is presented. It is
shown that the internal crystallisation method (ICM), that is crystallisation of the fibres in …

Oxide fibres produced by the internal crystallization route have been used in a variety of
matrices to yield heat-resistant composites. These fibres are crystallized in channels …

Oxide fibers find many uses as insulation and as reinforcements. The most widely known
oxide fiber is glass fiber, which has a composition based on silica (SiO 2), but other minerals …

Directionally solidified ternary Al2O3/Y3Al5O12 (YAG)/ZrO2 hypoeutectic rod composites
were successfully fabricated by the laser zone remelting technique. The microstructure and …

The only monocrystalline oxide fibre that has been used in numerous published works on
oxide-fibre/Ni-based-matrix composites is sapphire fibre. That work was aimed at obtaining …

Single crystalline YAG fibres are now produced by an internal crystallization method.
Essentially, the method is crystallization of the oxide melt infiltrated into continuous channels …

The fibre/matrix interface in fibrous composites with brittle fibres can play a synergetic role in
developing creep resistance of the composites. Increasing the interface strength, which is …

Optically clear, inclusion-free mullite fibers up to 80 mm in length and 80× 70 μm2 in cross-
section were grown from an alumino silicate melt by the internal crystallization method …

The main objective of the present work is to evaluate the high-temperature creep properties
of a family of heat-resistant composites. For the first time, it has been possible to test …

Sapphire fibres produced by the internal crystallization method were introduced into an
alumina matrix. The fibres were coated with pyrolitic carbon to provide weak bonding to the …
