Zinchydroxide nitrate, a brucite-like layered material was synthesized using pH control method. Poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(ethylene glycol) were used at various percentages as size decreasing agents during the synthesis of zinchydroxide nitrate. SEM and PXRD showed the decrease of size and thickne...
