Abstract

A process has been developed for the synthesis of YBa2Cu3O7−x superconducting fibers from an organic acid precursor solution. Through rheology measurements on a series of precursor solutions, the molecular structure was determined and subsequently controlled to allow for fiber drawing. For solutions with a viscosity ⋛10 poise, fibers of 1 to 2 m length and 50 ∼ 100 μm diameter can be hand drawn at ≍80 °C. Processing methods were developed to circumvent deformation of the thermoplastic fibers during heating and to minimize BaCO3 formation during decomposition. Fibers sintered at 850 °C for 1 h in 10−2 atm O2, followed by annealing at 500 °C for 4 h in O2, were fully dense, consisted of submicron grains, and were superconducting.
