Abstract:
Calcium sulfate hemihydrate with different structures and morphologies has a broad scope of applications. Herein, we reported a strategy for nanosized calcium sulfate through room-temperature microemulsion by using calcium carbonate and sulfuric acid. After characterizations, it was indicated that the morphology of calcium sulfate products fabricated could be changed and controlled using different surfactants TritonX-114, SDBS, and CTAB by the microemulsion method. The method demonstrated in this work would be a benefit for the synthesis of nanomaterials with special structures in the future.
