Ceramics are used increasingly for structural applications in view of           their high temperature stability and high hardness.  Unfortunately most         ceramics are very brittle and possess low fracture toughness values.            One way to increase the toughness of structural ceramic materials is to         prepare composites with ceramic whiskers as reinforcing fillers.  The           methods for producing these fillers currently are rather expensive.  The        P.I. proposes a simple new method of producing Beta-sialon fiber in             SiO2/C/Na3 AIF6 mixed melt in flowing nitrogen gas.  The proposed               research will address the yield and structure of Beta-sialon whiskers,          reaction mechanism and optimum processing conditions.
