Abstract Citrus fiber dispersion with different concentrations (5–25 g/kg) was treated by high-pressure homogenization (90 and 160 MPa) for two cycles. The particle size distribution, hydration properties of powders, morphology and rheological measurements were carried out to study the microstructure and rheological properties changes by high-pressure homogenization (HPH). In conclusion, the HPH can reduce the particle size of fiber, improve the water holding capacity and water binding capacity. Furthermore, fiber shape can be modified from globular cluster to flake-like slices, and tiny pores can be formed on the surface of citrus fiber. The apparent viscosity, storage modulus and loss modulus were increased by HPH whereas the activation energy was reduced. The Hershcel–Bulkley model, Carreau model and Power Law mode were selected to evaluate the rheological properties.

Fe-Co-Ce composite catalysts were prepared by coprecipitation method using CO(NH2)2, NaOH, NH4HCO3, and NH3·H2O as precipitant agents. The effects of the precipitant agents on the physicochemical properties of the Fe-Co-Ce based catalysts were investigated by SEM, TEM, BET, TG-DTA, and XRD. It was found that the precipitant agents remarkably influenced the morphology and particle size of the catalysts and affected the COD removal efficiency, decolorization rate, and pH of methyl orange for catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO). The specific surface area of the Fe-Co-Ce composite catalysts successively decreased in the order of NH3·H2O, NH4HCO3, NaOH, and CO(NH2)2, which correlated to an increasing particle size that increased for each catalyst. For the CWAO of a methyl orange aqueous solutions, the effects of precipitant agents NH3·H2O and NaOH were superior to those of CO(NH2)2and NH4HCO3. The catalyst prepared using NH3·H2O as the precipitant agent was mostly composed of Fe2O3, CoO, and CeO2. The COD removal efficiency of methyl orange aqueous solution for NH3·H2O reached 92.9% in the catalytic wet air oxidation. Such a catalytic property was maintained for six runs.

Particle size plays an important role in the electrochemical performance of cathodes for lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. High energy planetary ball milling of LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 (NMC) cathode materials was investigated as a route to reduce the particle size and improve the electrochemical performance. The effect of ball milling times, milling speeds, and composition on the structure and properties of NMC cathodes was determined. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that ball milling decreased primary particle (crystallite) size by up to 29%, and the crystallite size was correlated with the milling time and milling speed. Using relatively mild milling conditions that provided an intermediate crystallite size, cathodes with higher capacities, improved rate capabilities, and improved capacity retention were obtained within 14 μm-thick electrode configurations. High milling speeds and long milling times not only resulted in smaller crystallite sizes but also lowered electrochemical performance. Beyond reduction in crystallite size, ball milling was found to increase the interfacial charge transfer resistance, lower the electrical conductivity, and produce aggregates that influenced performance. Computations support that electrolyte diffusivity within the cathode and film thickness play a significant role in the electrode performance. This study shows that cathodes with improved performance are obtained through use of mild ball milling conditions and appropriately designed electrodes that optimize the multiple transport phenomena involved in electrochemical charge storage materials.

Copolyanilines are synthesized by a chemical oxidation of aniline and o-ethoxyaniline with various molar ratios in an acidic media, and then characteristics of these polymers such as chemical structure, particle size and the particle size distribution were examined by using FT-IR, SEM and particle size analyzer, respectively. Suspensions of copolyaniline containing ethoxy group, namely poly(aniline-co-o-ethoxyaniline), in silicone oil have been investigated as one of many potential candidates for dry-base electrorheological (ER) fluid systems. Rotational rheometer (Physica) equipped with a high voltage generator was used to characterize the rheological properties of ER fluids from both steady shear and dynamic tests. From the steady shear experiment, we obtained flow properties and found that ER fluids exhibited the yield phenomenon. On the other hand, viscoelastic property was also obtained from the dynamic experiment. Since viscoelastic properties for ER fluids are mainly dominated by the particle chain structure, the state at different time scale was analyzed from the rheological parameters such as storage modulus (G'), loss modulus (G'') and tan δ. We conducted a strain amplitude sweep at 1 Hz under an applied electric field to determine a linear viscoelastic region first. The G' and G'' were then measured by a frequency sweep from 0.1 to 100 Hz in the linear viscoelastic region.

Ultrafine silicon carbide powder with an average particle size of 90 nm was densified by hot-processing with the addition of Al2O3, Y2O3, and CaO at 1750 °C. Silicon carbide nanoceramics with an average grain size of 110 nm were prepared by liquid phase sintering at low temperature. The materials showed superplastic deformation at a strain rate of 5.0 × 10-4/s at 1700 °C, which is the lowest temperature published. The microstructure and deformation behavior of materials from a submicrometer powder were also investigated as a reference.
