Abstract:
A continuous fiber of titania having an average diameter per a monofilament of from 5 to 50 .mu.m, which has a BET specific surface area of 10 m.sup.2 /g or more, a pore volume of 0.05 cc/g or more, a volume of pores having a pore diameter of not less than 10 angstroms being 0.02 cc/g or more and an average tensile strength per a monofilament of 0.1 GPa or more, or which has an average tensile strength per a monofilament of 0.5 GPa or more, wherein said continuous fiber is obtained by adding water to an alcohol solution of titanium alkoxide to carry out a hydrolysis reaction and a polymerization reaction of the titanium alkoxide, to form a polymer, and spinning said polymer to obtain said continuous fiber of titania.
