SummaryThe crystal habit of milk fat is determined by the cooling procedure employed and is changed markedly by interesterification (randomization) of the fat. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that slowly cooled milk fat occurs in both beta prime and beta modifications, whereas in rapidly cooled milk fat, evidence for the beta prime modification only was obtained. The long spacing was greatly increased by interesterification, especially when the fat was slowly cooled. The presence or absence of certain high melting glyceride fractions greatly influenced solid fat content, softening point and hardness of milk fat.

SummaryInteresterification of milk fats resulted in increased softening points, hardness and high melting glycerides (HMG). Increasing the content of trans-unsaturated acyl groups in milk fat resulted in increased softening points and hardness. While the increased solid fat content after interesterification occurred mostly at the higher measuring temperatures, the increase due to isomerization occurred mainly at the lower measuring temperatures. However, in both cases hardness was increased at all measuring temperatures. These results indicate that glyceride structure and trans-unsaturated acyl content influence the physical properties of the solidified fat.

The surface and structural characterization techniques of three atom-thick bi-dimensional 2D-WS2 colloidal nanocrystals cross the limit of bulk investigation, offering the possibility of simultaneous phase identification, structural-to-morphological evaluation, and surface chemical description. In the present study, we report a rational understanding based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and structural inspection of two kinds of dimensionally controllable 2D-WS2 colloidal nanoflakes (NFLs) generated with a surfactant assisted non-hydrolytic route. The qualitative and quantitative determination of 1T’ and 2H phases based on W 4f XPS signal components, together with the presence of two kinds of sulfur ions, S22− and S2−, based on S 2p signal and related to the formation of WS2 and WOxSy in a mixed oxygen-sulfur environment, are carefully reported and discussed for both nanocrystals breeds. The XPS results are used as an input for detailed X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis allowing for a clear discrimination of NFLs crystal habit, and an estimation of the exact number of atomic monolayers composing the 2D-WS2 nanocrystalline samples.

Montmorillonite (MMT) modified asphalts are prepared by melt blending with the help of high-speed shear mixer. The dispersion of MMT layers in the asphalt matrix are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The effect of different contents of MMT on physical properties of the base asphalt is studied. These properties include penetration, softening point and ductility. The results indicate that MMT/asphalt may form a nanocomposite structure with MMT layers intercalated by the asphalt molecules. MMT can improve the high temperature performance and temperature sensitivity of the base asphalt. And it can slightly reduce the low temperature performances of matrix asphalt. It is found that low temperature performances, high temperature performance and temperature sensitivity of the modified system achieved balance when the content of MMT is 4 wt%.

Cordierite (2MgO.2Al2O3.5SiO2) is widely used in high temperature applications due to its high melting temperature and high resistance to thermal shock, chemical and corrosion. In this study, porous cordierite was synthesized using sol-gel method followed by replication of polymeric sponge method. Three different sintering temperatures were studied (1200°C, 1300°C and 1400°C to determine the crucial temperatures meant for pure cordierite phase. The effect of different temperature on the pore size, density and porosity were also studied. Produced porous cordierite was then analyzed using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). XRD results showed that pure cordierite phase was obtained at 1300°C. SEM micrograph shows that with increasing sintering temperature, the pore size decreased and sample sintered at 1300°C has pore size ranging from 61-126μm.

Eight petroleum waxes, both paraffin as well as microcrystalline, have been analysed by X-ray diffraction. The average carbon number has been estimated by the long-range ordering observed in the diffractograms of these waxes. The average carbon number has also been determined following the standard gas chromatographic (GC) method. The results obtained by X-ray diffractometry compare well with those obtained by the GC method. The former method also permits determination of the average carbon number of high melting point waxes, which is otherwise difficult using GC.

ABSTRACTTitanium dioxide (TiO2) films were deposited on (a) non-alkali glass, (b) MgO (100) and (c) SrTiO3 (100) single crystals by rf reactive magnetron sputtering using a Ti metal target. X-ray diffraction and a pole figure analysis revealed that TiO2 films on the (a) were anatase polycrystals with <101> preferred orientation, whereas heteroepitaxial growth of anatase TiO2 was observed on the (b) and the (c) substrates. FE-SEM analyses on the crystal habit of the firm surfaces showed that the substrate temperature during the deposition (Ts) heavily affected the microstructure and surface morphology of the heteroepitaxially grown films, which could be clearly explained in terms of “Thornton's zone model” or “epitaxial growth model of 2-dimensional ledge or kink modes” considering the normalized Ts by the phase transition temperature from anatase to rutile.
