Abstract:
      The tetrapod-like zinc oxide whisker (T-ZnOw) is the sole tetrapod-like whisker in crystal whisker family, which has clear and neat three-dimensional space structure. Because of its special space structure and unique characters of semiconductor, piezoelectricity and wave absorption, the tetrapod-like zinc oxide whisker can be used not only as the reinforcer of composite materials but structural and functional materials, etc., playing an important role in national defense, electron, chemicals and transportation industries. In this paper, the structure, characters and preparation of the tetrapod-like zinc oxide whisker as well as its application, as a filler, in composite materials are briefly stated.
