	  abstract     = {Zinc borates can be used as multi-functional
synergistic additives with flame retardant additives in polymers. Zinc
borate is white, non-hygroscopic and powder type product. The most
important properties are low solubility in water and high dehydration
temperature. Zinc borates dehydrate above 290°C and anhydrous zinc
borate has thermal resistance about 400°C. Zinc borates can be
synthesized using several methods such as hydrothermal and solidstate
processes. In this study, the solid-state method was applied at
low temperatures of 600oC and 700oC using the starting materials of
ZnO and H3BO3 with several mole ratios. The reaction time was
determined as 4 hours after some preliminary experiments. After the
synthesis, the crystal structure and the morphology of the products
were examined by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform
Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). As a result the forms of ZnB4O7,
Zn3(BO3)2, ZnB2O4 were synthesized and obtained along with the
unreacted ZnO.},
