Polycrystalline oxide fibers have not yet been exploited to their full potential, perhaps because of difficulties with processability. In the successful new route for the production of continuous yttria‐stabilized zirconia fibers detailed here, ZrO 2 particles sols are used as oxide‐forming components. The fine‐grained compact ceramic fibers of tetragonal zirconia polycrystals obtained 2 mol‐% Y 2 O 3 are shown in the figure.
