Abstract: | An alternative forced hydrolysis approach for the synthesis of -FeOOH of varying dimensions was achieved. The -FeOOH particles were converted into -Fe2O3 in a colloidal process, which eliminated the agglomeration of -Fe2O3 particles. The acicular -Fe2O3 nanoparticles could be readily dispersed into an organic solvent. Preliminary studies have demonstrated that the dispersion of the -Fe2O3 nanorods in a polymer matrix is feasible leading to an organic-inorganic nanocomposite. |
