摘 要：Long alumina fibers were prepared by sol-gel method.The spinning sol was obtained by mixing aluminum nitrate,tartaric acid,and polyvinylpyrrolidone with a mass ratio of 10∶3∶1.5.Thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry （TG-DSC）,Fourier transform infrared （FT-IR） spectra,X-ray diffraction （XRD）,and scanning electron microscopy （SEM） were used to characterize the properties of the gel and ceramic fibers.A little of α-Al2O3 phase is observed in the alumina precursor gel fibers sintered at 1273 K.The fibers with a uniform diameter can be obtained when sintered at 1473 K,and its main phase is also indentified as α-Al2O3.
