The potassium titanate (K2O· 6TiO2) whiskers with an average length-diameter ratio of more than 10 and an perfect pattern were directly synthesized by the sintered method. The orthogonal experiment method was employed to examine the effects of the synthesizing temperatures, time hold and calefactive speed on the whisker quality, and the various parameters were optimized. Results showed that the synthesizing temperatures was the most important factor to affect the quality of the whiskers, the calefactive speed was the next, and the time hold ...
