The regularities of the interaction of amorphous potassium polytitanate with titanium oxide during calcinations of their mixtures, taken in different proportions, are studied. The mechanism and sequence of phase transformations in the experimental mixture are analyzed. It is found that the introduction of titanium oxide into potassium polytitanate results in the formation of a denser ceramic structure, consisting of compacted nanofibers of potassium hexatitanate, stabilized by TiO2 crystals.
