Abstract
Elucidating the effect of growth periods on the quality of calcium sulfate whiskers (CSWs) prepared from calcium sulfate dihydrate (DH) is imperative. Herein,crystal seeds and whiskers were prepared from DH in a water-glycerol system. Longer whiskers were obtained from crystal seeds prepared via hydration of DH for 30 s than via ball milling for 5 min followed by hydration for 20 s. The attachment of cetyl-trimethyl ammonium bromide and glycerol additives to the whisker tops promoted whisker growth. The whisker sponges exhibited good thermal barrier properties and compression cycle stability.
