Polyethylene/montmorillonite (PE/MMT) nanocomposites were prepared by in situ polymerization. The morphology of MMT/MgCl2/TiCl4 catalyst and PE/MMT nanocomposites was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It can be seen that MMT/MgCl2/TiCl4 catalyst remained the original MMT sheet structures and many holes were found in MMT and the morphology of PE/MMT nanocomposites is part of the sheet in the form of existence, as most of the petal structure. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were carried out to characterize all the samples. XRD results reveal that the original basal reflection peak of PEI1 and PEI2 disappears completely and that of PEI3 become very weak. MMT/MgCl2/TiCl4 catalyst was finely dispersed in the PE matrix. Instead of being individually dispersed, most layers were found in thin stacks comprising several swollen layers.

An innovative spray deposition technique has been applied to produce in situ TiB2/Zn-30Al-1Cu composites. The microstructures of the spray-deposited composite were studied using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Both theoretical and experimental results have shown that the TiB2particulates are formed in the microstructure. It was found that the TiB2particles were distributed in Zn-30Al-1Cu matrix uniformly, and the TiB2particles are about 2 μm in size. Moreover, the presence of the TiB2particles was led to increasing of α’ phase with less 2 μm size in the composites which have a tendency to decompose to α+η structure.

In situ TiCp/Al-4.5wt.%Cu composites have been coated using an electro-less Ni-P plating technique. The morphology and composition of the plating coating have been examined by scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The results indicated that the coating had a high-phosphorus amorphous microstructure. The coatings microstructures showed significantly changes when the citric acid concentration in the chemical bath was varied in the range 16-20g/L.

Micro-sized spherical Al particles have recently attracted interest for the development of a new concept for coatings based on their capability to form hollow alumina spheres and aluminized diffusion zones in the substrate. For understanding better their oxidation behaviour, spherical µm-Al particles with different sizes were oxidized in air on heating up to 1300°C and under isothermal conditions at 800°C and 850°C. The oxide formation was studiedin situby high temperature X-ray diffraction and the oxidised particles were analysed by scanning electron microscopy. On heating the µm-Al particles begin to form a g-Al2O3scale before reaching the melting point and the molten Al is kept within the g-Al2O3shell. On further heating q-Al2O3is detected, which forms simultaneously with the g-Al2O3. The g-Al2O3/ q-Al2O3scale is stable and protective under isothermal conditions up to 800°C within the investigated times. On further heating the g-Al2O3and q-Al2O3transform simultaneously to a-Al2O3in a temperature range of 850°C to 1100°C. Under isothermal conditions the g à a-Al2O3transformation is observed after 160 min at 850°C. During the g à a-Al2O3transformation shrinkage occurs that leads to formation of pores. A model is proposed describing the mechanism that leads to the formation of the observed whiskers morphologies during the g à a-Al2O3transformation.

The crystal zinc borate (Zn3B6O12·3.5H2O) nano-strips and nano-flakes were successfully prepared by a wet method using boric acid (H3BO3) and Zn(NO3)2·H2O as raw materials in situ aqueous solution, and triethanolamine as the modifying agent. The nano/microstructures and morphologies of the as-obtained samples were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). It had been found that the as-prepared materials displayed nanostrips with average length from 100 to 200nm and the thicknesses about 30nm as well as nanoflakes with diameter about 4μm and thickness about several nanometers morphology.

Amphiphobic vaterite with a size of about 50 nm, was prepared via crystallization of CaCO3with perfluorooctane surfapropyl betaine(DF-921)in methanol by mimicking the process of biomineralization. The products were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and contact angle analysis. The results indicate that the CaCO3powder samples had both hydrophobic and oleophobic properties. The DF-921 used in this research not only controlled the crystal type of the CaCO3particles but also changed the surface properties of the final products.

Ternary carbide Ti3SiC2 is a good binder to make superhard composites with diamonds or cubic boron nitride. Superhard composites are normally made at high temperature and under high pressure around 5 GPa to avoid the phase transformation of diamonds or cubic boron nitride. This paper researched the synthesis of Ti3SiC2 from the powders of Ti, Si, and graphite by a cubic presser under 1 GPa to 4 GPa at 1400°C. The decomposition of Ti3SiC2 under 5GPa at 1400°C was also researched. From X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results, Ti3SiC2 was synthesized in 30 min under 1 GPa at 1400°C. The impurities were TiSi2, Ti5Si3Cx, and TiC. As the pressure increased from 1GPa to 4GPa, less Ti3SiC2 more TiSi2 was synthesized. Therefore, high presser > 1GPa is unfavorable for the synthesis of Ti3SiC2. After treated under 5GPa at 1400°C, pure Ti3SiC2 was decomposed.

In this work, ZnO microparticles were in situ in the chitosan – attached cotton fabric following ‘equilibration – cum - hydrothermal’ approach to yield zinc oxide microparticles loaded cotton (ZOMLC) fabrics. The ZnO microparticles were characterized by surface plasmon resonance (SPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The ZOMLC fabric showed fair antibacterial action against model bacteria E.coli.
