THE PRODUCTION OF BaO-TiO2FIBERS VIA INVISCID MELT-SPINNING (IMS)

Abstract
Fibers ranging in diameter from 75-200 μm were produced directly from a 46.9 wt% BaO, 53.1 wt% TiO2 eutectic composition melt (M.P. = 1315°C) via Inviscid Melt-Spinning (IMS). These filaments are shown through X-ray diffraction and SEM to be polycrystalline in nature. Inspection by SEM indicates that the fibers show a significant degree of porosity.
