Abstract:We examined the effect of γ radiation on the stabilities of aluminum hydroxide (gibbsite) and aluminum oxyhydroxide (boehmite) nanoparticles in relation to their thermal decomposition. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images revealed no significant differences in mineral components or morphologies before and after radiation. However, thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry (TGA/DSC) analyses showed that both boehmite and gibbsite nanoparticles experienced … Show more
