Abstract

The present invention provides nanofibers and a process for making the same. The nanofibers are made from composite materials comprised of at least two of SiC, Si.sub.3N.sub.4, Al.sub.2O.sub.3, BC, BN, AlN, C, TiN, TiC, Y.sub.2O.sub.3, and ZrO.sub.2, such as SiC+C, SiC+Al.sub.2O.sub.3, SiC+AlN, SiC+TiN, SiC+TiC, SiC+Si.sub.3N.sub.4, Si.sub.3N.sub.4+TiN, Si.sub.3N.sub.4+C, Si.sub.3N.sub.4+Al.sub.2O.sub.3, Si.sub.3N.sub.4+AlN, Si.sub.3N.sub.4+TiC, Al.sub.2O.sub.3+C, Al.sub.2O.sub.3+TiN, Al.sub.2O.sub.3+TiC, Al.sub.2O.sub.3+Y.sub.2O.sub.3, Al.sub.2O.sub.3+ZrO.sub.2, BN+Si.sub.3N.sub.4 and BC+Si.sub.3N.sub.4. The process for making nanofibers comprises the following steps: making a precursor material and spinning nanofibers from the precursor material.
