Presents recent techniques for the manufacture, as well as research on the behaviour, of high-performance flexible ceramic fibres used to develop structural materials for applications up to very high temperatures, allowing the optimization of ceramic composites in jet engine components, heat exchangers, refractory insulators and other components. The text explores complex ceramic microstructures down to the atomic level.
Fine ceramic fibres; chemistry and manufacture of alumina and aluminosilicate fibres; properties and microstructures of small-diameter alumina-based fibres; precursor routes to ceramic fibres; ceramic fibres from polymer precursors; properties and microstructures of small-diameter SiC-based fibres.
