A method has been developed to fabricate borosilicate glass matrix composites reinforced with monofilament SiC fibers by tape casting. Green matrix tapes are laminated with fiber mats of a uniform fiber spacing. The resulting laminate is sintered at 710 C to > 98% relative density and HIP-consolidated to full density. The final specimens contain a high volume fraction of fibers (> 35 vol%) in a uniform array. A variation of this technique can be used to mount ``microcomposites`` (i.e., coated fibers) in a glass matrix to facilitate fabrication of push-out test specimens.
