Abstract
Structural fibers that exhibit high strength, low creep, and oxidation resistance at high temperatures are a key requirement in the development of advanced ceramic-ceramic composite materials.1–3 Oxide materials offer considerable potential to meet this need; many oxides have the required high intrinsic properties. However, the synthesis of oxide fibers with sufficiently high practical properties and acceptably low production cost has not yet been achieved.
