Abstract: Glutamic acid(Glu for short)/magnesium-aluminum layered double hydroxide compounds(Mg-Al-LDH) were prepared in weak acidic medium, and the influence of pH values on the properties of Glu/LDH compounds was investigated. It was found that Glu/LDH particles prepared in weak acidic medium were sphere-like with smaller size compared with that of traditional ion-exchange method. Our study also indicated that the variation of pH value could change the morphology and dispersion state of Glu/LDH particles. The reaction mechanism is discussed.

Key words: layered double hydroxide, glutamic acid, nanocompounds
