The low cost of raw materials, simple manufacturing technique, low facility demand, and easy operation process make the cost of magnesium borate whiskers much lower. Thus, magnesium borate whiskers are a kind of new cost-effective reinforcing agent with potentially wide applications after aluminum borate whiskers, and can be used in aluminum, magnesium, and their alloys and in engineering plastics.

At present, Chinese researchers have considerable knowledge and experience in the synthesis of aluminum borate whiskers, reinforcing and toughening composites, and industrialization. Before long, aluminum borate whiskers will be used widely in reinforced metal matrixes (aluminum base, magnesium base), ceramic matrix, plastic, glass, fiber, and coatings. ... [Pg.106]

In recent years, there has been a breakthrough in the manufacturing cost of potassium titanate whiskers, aluminum borate whiskers, and so forth. Meanwhile, inexpensive and high-quality inorganic whiskers such as calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, and magnesium are successfully synthesized, which makes inorganic whiskers a new type of filling modification material of polymer materials. This field has become a research hotspot all over the world and reveals broad application and market prospects. [Pg.199]
