Fabrication and characterisation of oxide fibre-reinforced glass matrix composites for optomechanical applications

Stiff and strong ceramic fibres have been incorporated into brittle glass matrices in order to increase their mechanical strength and fracture toughness. In the present work, a novel processing technique has been investigated, in which the reinforcing fibres are “sandwiched” unidirectionally between...
