In an attempt to obtain pure mullite after firing, the spinnability of an alumina-silica gel was examined by hydrolizing an aluminum alkoxide and then an aluminum and silicon alkoxide mixture. The production of pure mullite was successful and the precursor alumina-silica sol was found to be spinnable. The stability of the spun fiber is being studied.
