Abstract

The formation of nanotubes of magnesium hydrosilicate Mg3Si2O5(OH)4 with a chrysotile structure is investigated. It is found that the nanotubes of magnesium hydrosilicate Mg3Si2O5(OH)4 are formed through different mechanisms depending on the initial state of reactants, the composition of the hydrothermal solution, and temperature. It is shown that the rate of formation of nanotubes is determined by the stability of intermediate compounds, the chemical composition of the reaction mixture, and the synthesis temperature.
