Abstract

Since the discovery of tubular nano-scale materials in 1990s, they have been considered as the ideal materials for a variety of applications due to their unique mechanical, ferromagnetic properties for spintronics, magnetic, chemical and biological properties. In our previous work, nano-tube structured magnesium hydroxide has been discovered in solution phase under the normal atmospheric pressure. The present work focus on discussing the effects of reaction concentration, temperature, reaction time, crystal shape control agent dosage on the tubular nano-Mg(OH)2 formation initially. The crystal shape control agent plays an important template role in inducing Mg(OH)2 crystal nuclei forming tubular nano-Mg(OH)2 during the synthesis process. The resulting tubular nano-Mg(OH)2 implies its potential expanded applications in many research areas like the papermaking industry, fertilizer additive, pharmacy, biomaterials and etc.
