Abstract

Potassium hexatitanate long fibres were successfully prepared by the flux evaporation method. The addition of a small amount of Li2O to K2MoO4 flux was found to be very advantageous for growth of the long fibres. The crystal length was increased with the increase of the amount evaporated. The results of the experiment on the effects of flux to raw material ratio, filled amount and evaporation area on crystal growth are described.
