The project aims to develop the means of fabricating single-crystal mullite fibres from topaz that are suitable for reinforcement of metal and ceramic matrix composites. Single-crystal mullite is the most sought after fibrous additive, but is not available commercially. It is expected to attract an immediate clientele in laboratories and companies servicing the aviation industry and the military. This will allow large deposit of topaz in Torrington, NSW to be used to develop a high-value niche product (fibres) and a large-volume, low-value product (fluoride). This will provide significant economic and environmental benefits and it addresses the research priorities - Resources and Advanced Manufacturing.

该项目旨在开发用黄玉制造单晶莫来石纤维的方法，该纤维适用于金属和陶瓷基复合材料的增强。单晶莫来石是最受欢迎的纤维添加剂，但尚未商业化。预计它将吸引为航空业和军队服务的实验室和公司的直接客户。 这将使新南威尔士州托灵顿的大量黄玉矿床可用于开发高价值利基产品（纤维）和大容量低价值产品（氟化物）。这将带来显着的经济和环境效益，并解决研究重点——资源和先进制造。
