Wallenberger F.T., MacChesney J.B., Naslain R., Ackler H.D. Advanced Inorganic Fibers: Processes, Structures, Properties, Applications

Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2000, 346 Pages, ISBN: 0412607905This book serves as an introduction to advanced inorganic fibers and aims to support fundamental research, assist scientists and designers in industry, and facilitate materialsm science instruction in universities and colleges. Its three main sections deal with fibers which are derived from the vapor phase, such as single crystal silicon whiskers or carbon nanotubes, from the liquid phase, such as advanced glass and single crystal oxide fibers, and from solid fibers, such as carbon and ceramic fibers.Fibers from the vapour phaseSection ii.
