This note describes the preparation of zirconium titanate gel fibres from an aqueous mixed zirconia titania sol. The fibres are well formed and free of shot. Heat treatment to 750 degrees C produces a crystalline porous zirconium titanate fibre which shows a good (1%) strain to break. Further firing to 1100 degrees C causes a deterioration in properties, with retention of some porosity and a reduced strain to break. Recommendations for improving the material are suggested.
