Abstract
Sol-gel η-alumina fibres containing a proportion of axially-oriented pores have been compared with others containing only random porosity. The former fibres possess better mechanical properties. A simple theory is presented to account qualitatively for these effects which are related to the optical birefringence of fibres containing some axially oriented pores.
