Abstract Titanate fibres and whiskers are new materials with high heat resistance and good chemical stability. They have found numerous applications such as ion exchanger materials, thermal insulators, reinforcements, catalysts, photocatalysts and substitutes of asbestos. In this paper, the methods of fabricating potassium titanate fibres and whiskers have been discussed, e. g., calcination, hydrothermal reaction, flux growth, sol-gel technique, and others. Because asbestos fibres are known to cause fibrotic diseases in lungs we also refer to studies into the toxicity and carcinogenicity of potassium titanate fibres and whiskers.
