Abstract

A new process of preparing ceramics fibers by use of sodium alginate has been studied. In this paper, titanium oxide fibers synthesized by heat-treating in air and under reduced pressure at various temperatures using titanium alginate as a starting material is reported. Thermal decomposition of titanium alginate was investigated by differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetry. Titanium oxide fibers were investigated by powder X-ray diffraction technique and scanning electron microscope. Heat-treatment in air collapsed titanium oxide fibers easily. The fibers were dense when heat-treating under reduced pressure.
