Abstract
Oxide-coated whiskers suitable for consolidation into or incorporation within a whisker-reinforced composite ceramic article are provided by dispersing inorganic whiskers in a colloidal oxide sol, separating the dispersion into fine droplets, and drying the droplets to provide a solid particulate product comprising the coated whiskers. The continuous oxide coating on the whiskers provides protection and aids in composite consolidation.
