Integration of Preparation and Stabilization for Hemihydrate Calcium Sulfate Whiskers

The integration process of hemihydrate calcium sulfate whiskers with optimum additives was carried out, and the influence of reagents on the crystal shape and stability of hemihydrate calcium sulfate whiskers was investigated too. The products were characterized by FT-IR, SEM and XRD. The results show that the integration of preparation and stabilization of hemihydrate calcium sulfate whiskers can be achieved with addition of 0.025% sodium stearate and 0.15% sodium oleate by adding agents in different steps.
