Abstract: The formation of ceramic fibres from organometallic precursors has been discussed. Critical requirements in precursor polymerization and fibre formation by sol-gel spinning have been highlighted. Silicon alkoxide precursors have been used to study spinnable sols. The influence of stress, environment and temperature-controlled rates of conversion of the precursor fibres on structure and properties of ceramic fibres has been demonstrated. It has been concluded that a broad range of ceramic fibres can be tailored through appropriate precursor synthesis, fibre formation routes and subsequent conversion to the desired ceramic structures for composites.
