Abstract

An inorganic fibrous material for reinforcing composite materials, said fibrous material composed of a central layer and a surface layer, wherein PA0 the surface layer is formed of an inorganic material composed of PA1 (i) an amorphous material consisting substantially of Si, M, C and O, wherein M is Ti or Zr, or PA1 (ii) an aggregate consisting substantially of ultrafine crystalline particles of beta-SiC, MC, a solid solution of beta-SiC and MC, and MC.sub.1-x having a particle diameter of not more than 500 .ANG. wherein M is as defined above and x is a number represented by 0<x<1, and optionally containing amorphous SiO.sub.2 and MO.sub.2, or PA1 (iii) a mixture of the amorphous material (i) and the aggregate (2), and PA0 the central layer is formed of an inorganic material other than said inorganic material; and a process for production thereof.
