Improved thermal stability of fibers is increasingly demanded for high-temperature
applications. In this study, alumina-mullite diphasic fibers with 0–5 wt% La 2 O 3 addition …

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 …

Fine ceramic oxide fibers are widely used as reinforcements in composites for high
temperature applications. The primary goal of this research was to investigate the growth of …

Single crystalline mullite fibres, which are expected to be an excellent reinforcement for high
temperature composite materials, can be produced by using the internal crystallisation …

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 …

The laser floating zone technique was used to grow large 2Al2O3–SiO2 mullite fibres (up to
1.6 mm in diameter and 40mm in length). The fibres grown at 10mm/h are single crystalline …

Oxide fiber-reinforced Ni-base composites have long been considered as attractive heat-
resistant materials. After several decades of active research, however, interest in these …

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 …

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 …

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 …
