Abstract

Natural silk fibers were used as the template to synthesis biomorphic Fe2O3 fibers. Silk fibers were first immersed into a Fe(NO3)3 solution and then sintered in air at high temperatures to produce the final Fe2O3 fibers. Their microstructures, phases, and synthesis process were analyzed. The results show that these synthesized fibers retained the morphologies of silk faithfully. The concentration of the Fe(NO3)3 solution, the soak period, and the sintering temperatures all had the effect on the continuity of the biomorphic fibers. The fabrication process of biomorphic ceramic included the formation of Fe2O3 and removal of their silk templates.
