Temperature effect (200-400 °C) on the anisotropic crystal growth of boehmite under hydrothermal conditions with and without octanoic acid was investigated. The crystallinity and the size of particles increased with increasing the treatment temperature. The crystal growth was facilitated greatly above the critical temperature of water. Although several possible factors could affect the crystal growth behavior, the experimental results were discussed in terms of water properties, such as dielectric constant and viscosity. The crystallization was enhanced when the viscosity and dielectric constant of water were low. The viscosity reduction at higher temperature may enhance diffusion and crystallization, in particular, without octanoic acid. The enhancement of crystallization at lower dielectric constant implies that the formation of particles, which are less polar than precursor ions, favorably proceeds in such media. The crystal growth along c-axis showed less temperature dependence around the critical temperature in the experiments with octanoic acid, which suggests that the modification reaction on the (001) surface was also facilitated because the modification reaction forms less polar products. This is probably the reason why the aspect ratio (a/c) was considerably higher for the products obtained with the treatments above the critical temperature.
