금속티타늄 분말과 $H_2O_2$와의 반응물에 KOH용액을 첨가하는 습식법에 의해 티탄산칼륨 섬유를 합성하고, 합성된 생성물을 XRD, SEM, FT-IR 등에 의해 검토하였다. 습식 합성법의 경우, $KOH/TiO_2$ 몰비, 합성시간, aging 시간등이 주로 최종 생성물에 영향을 주었다. $KOH/TiO_2 = 1/1$, 합성시간 24시간, aging 시간 24시간 및 하소 온도 $900^{\circ}C$에서의 생성물은 주로 potassium tetratitanate이었으며, 10 ~ 20mm의 가늘고 긴 장섬유이었다. 합성시간이 길어질수록, 그리고 KOH량이 적어질수록, potassium tetratitanate는 potassium hexatitanate로 바뀌면서 섬유의 길이는 짧아졌다.
The potassium titanate fibres were synthesized with wet process by the addition of KOH solution to the TiOz gel produced by the reaction between element titanium particles and $H_2O_2$ solution at $50^{\circ}C$. And then they were characterized by XRD, SEM and FT - IR. It was found that potassium titanate fibres were mainly affected by KOH/TiOz mole ratio, synthesis time and aging time in this wet process employed. For $KOH/TiO_2 = 1/1$, synthesizing time 24 hrs, aging time 24 hrs and calcination temperature of TEX>$900^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr, their products were mainly found to be potassium tetratitanate which had thin and long fibres in the range of 10 ~ 20 mm. As the synthesizing time increased and the amount of KOH decreased, potassium tetratitanate was converted into potassium hexatitanate. Also, the length of their fibres became short.
