Abstract β′-sialon whiskers were synthesized from silica fume and α-alumina via the carbothermal reduction reaction under nitrogen flow. The growth of whiskers was found to be conducted by the vapour-solid liquid crystal growth mechanism involving SiO, FeCl3 and other vapour species. SEM observation and EDAX reveal that the changing morphology of whiskers: branching, varying size, shape and growing direction, is a result of variations in vapour composition.
