Abstract
This chapter mainly focuses on type of ceramic fibers, fabrication methods used to make ceramic fibers, and their application areas. Oxide and nonoxide ceramic fibers are being used as reinforcement materials for composites due to their unique properties of high elastic modulus and high-temperature durability. Their properties make them valuable to use in automotive, aerospace, and heat-resistant structural applications. Ceramic fibers are found in two forms, continuous (long length) and discontinuous (short length). Alumina- and silicate-based continuous oxide fibers are made by sol-gel process but short oxide fibers by melt-spinning route. On the other hand, silicon- and boron-based nonoxide ceramic fibers are currently being developed and produced by thermal conversion of polymer precursor process.
