Abstract

Magnesium hydroxide [Mg(OH)2] nanocrystals with excellent dispersity and good crystallinity were efficiently synthesized through the ultrasonic and hydrothermal synergetic effect. The morphology, structure, and thermochemistry of Mg(OH)2 nanocrystals were researched by TEM, XRD, FT-IR, and DTA, respectively. The mechanism of ultrasonic–hydrothermal synergistic effect was discussed. In addition, Mg(OH)2 nanocrystals were added into polypropylene (PP) to form composite materials, and the mechanical properties of Mg(OH)2–PP composites were investigated. Compared with the other two Mg(OH)2 PP composites, the Mg(OH)2–PP composite had the best mechanical property when the Mg(OH)2 was synthesized by ultrasonic–hydrothermal route.
