posted on 2010-10-21, 00:00 authored by Huaqiang Cao, He Zheng, Jiefu Yin, Yuexiang Lu, Shuisheng Wu, Xiaoming Wu, Baojun LiComplex Mg(OH)2 nanostructures are synthesized via a biomolecule-assisted hydrothermal route. The as-synthesized Mg(OH)2 nanostructures are dispersed into an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) copolymer by mechanical kneading, which shows an excellent flame-retardant behavior. Also we demonstrated for the first time that the complex Mg(OH)2 nanostructures can find application in self-cleaning for its superhydrophobicity with water contact angle over 150° and sliding angle of 1°.
