Popis:	The growth of nanotubes of the Mg3Si2O5(OH)4 composition with a chrysotile structure has been investigated under hydrothermal conditions. It has been established that the nanotubes in the axial and radial directions grow through the step mechanism due to the recrystallization and mass transfer of the components. The introduction of seeds considerably promotes the growth process, especially at the nanotube ends. The evolution of chrysotile nanotubes with a variation in different physicochemical parameters of synthesis, such as the temperature, time, NaOH concentration in the reaction medium, and introduction of seeds, has been traced. It has been demonstrated that the controllable variation in these parameters makes it possible to perform a controlled hydrothermal synthesis of chrysotile nanotubes with specified lengths and aspect ratios.
