Abstract: Zirconia fibers, 1~2μm in diameter and 1~5cm in length, were synthesized by spray pyrolysisof airconyl acetate solutions. The effects of precursor solution concentration, surface tension,viscosity on morphology of the resultant fibers were studied. Solid and hollow fibers were obtainedby controlling the operating parameters.

Key words: ZrO2, fibers, spray pyrolysis
