The paper studies dispersion, oxidation degree, burning rate and combustion heat in high-energy mixtures obtained from of Al-Mg powder materials depending on the duration of mechanical activation in a planetary mill. According to dispersion analysis by laser diffraction method, 3 h mechanical activation gives Al-Mg particles with average particle size of 30 μm compared to 180 μm particles obtained after 2 h activation. Thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to record TG/DSC curves and measure burning rate and combustion heat for synthesized powders in comparison with engineered Al-Mg powder PAM−4 (Novosverdlovsk Metallurgical Company, Yekaterinburg, Russia). It has been found that the injection of 6 h mechanically activated Al-Mg powder into high-energy compositions leads to 24 and 45% increase of burning rate and combustion heat compared to the compositions without additive.

In this work, Al–Mg intermetallic powders were characterized and obtained by melting, casting into a steel chill and subsequent mechanical activation in a planetary mill. The method for producing Al12Mg17 intermetallic powder is presented. The dispersity, morphology, chemical composition, and phase composition of the obtained powder materials were investigated. Certain thermodynamic properties of high-energy materials containing the Al-Mg powder after mechanical activation of various durations were investigated. The addition of the Al-Mg powders to the high-energy composition (synthetic rubber SKDM-80 + ammonium perchlorate AP + boron B) can significantly increase the burning rate by approximately 47% and the combustion heat by approximately 23% compared with the high-energy compositions without the Al-Mg powder. The addition of the Al12Mg17 powder obtained after 6 h of mechanical activation provides an increase in the burning rate by 8% (2.5 ± 0.1 mm/s for the mechanically activated Al12Mg17 powder and 2.3 ± 0.1 mm/s for the commercially available powder) and an increase in the combustion heat by 3% (7.4 ± 0.2 MJ/kg for the mechanically activated Al-Mg powder and 7.1 ± 0.2 MJ/kg for the commercially available powder). The possibility of using the Al-Mg intermetallic powders as the main component of pyrotechnic and special compositions is shown.

This study reports on the mechanochemical synthesis (MCS) and consolidation of nanostructured CeB6 powders of high purity. CeB6 powders were prepared via MCS by milling CeO2, B2O3 and Mg powders in a high-energy ball mill for different milling times. The effects of milling time on the formation, microstructure and thermal behaviour of the synthesized powders were investigated and the optimum MCS duration was determined. Purified powders were obtained after HCl leaching by removing MgO by-product. The prepared powders were characterized by a number of techniques including X-ray diffraction, stereomicroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectrometry, differential scanning calorimetry, atomic absorption spectrometry, particle size analysis, surface area analysis and vibrating sample magnetometry. The high-purity CeB6 powders having an average particle size of 86 nm were consolidated by cold-pressing followed by pressureless sintering at 1700 ?C for 5 h. The bulk CeB6 specimen was investigated for its microstructure, density, electrical resistivity, surface roughness and some mechanical properties (microhardness and wear behaviour). The relative density, electrical resistivity, microhardness and wear rate of the bulk CeB6 were determined as 95.2%TD, 57.50 ?W?cm, 11.65GPa and 1.46 ? 10?4 mm3/N?m, respectively.

AbstractPlatinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) have attracted interest in catalysis and biomedical applications due to their unique structural, optical, and catalytic properties. However, the conventional synthesis of Pt NPs using the chemical and physical methods is constrained by the use of harmful and costly chemicals, intricate preparation requirement, and high energy utilization. Hence, this review emphasizes on the green synthesis of Pt NPs using plant extracts as an alternative approach due to its simplicity, convenience, inexpensiveness, easy scalability, low energy requirement, environmental friendliness, and minimum usage of hazardous materials and maximized efficiency of the synthesis process. The underlying complex processes that cover the green synthesis (biosynthesis) of Pt NPs were reviewed. This review affirms the effects of different critical parameters (pH, reaction temperature, reaction time, and biomass dosage) on the size and shape of the synthesized Pt NPs. For instance, the average particle size of Pt NPs was reported to decrease with increasing pH, reaction temperature, and concentration of plant extract.

Adhesive Performance

A series of pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) was prepared using a constant monomeric composition and different preparation processes to investigate the best combination to obtain the best balance between peel resistance, tack, and shear resistance. The monomeric composition was a 1:1 combination of two different water-based acrylic polymers—one with a high shear resistance (A) and the other with a high peel resistance and tack (B). Two different strategies were applied to prepare the adhesives: physical blending of polymers A and B and in situ emulsion polymerization of A + B, either in one or two steps; in this last case, by polymerizing A or B first. To characterize the polymer, the average particle size and viscosity were analyzed. The glass transition temperature (Tg) was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The tetrahydrofuran (THF) insoluble polymer fraction was used to calculate the gel content, and the soluble part was used to determine the average sol molecular weight by means of gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The adhesive performance was assessed by measuring tack as well as peel and shear resistance. The mechanical properties were obtained by calculating the shear modulus and determination of maximum stress and the deformation energy. Moreover, an adhesive performance index (API) was designed to determine which samples are closest to the requirements demanded by the self-adhesive label market.

The interaction between a solid inert metal Ir and an active liquid metal Ga during mechanical activation in a high-energy planetary mill is studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy with high-resolution energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis. The effect of mechanical activation on the formation of GaxIry intermetallic compounds and GaxIry/Ir composites and their solubility in acids was investigated. The subsequent extraction of Ga from intermetallic compounds and composites in the mixture of concentrated acids [Formula: see text] makes it possible to produce nanoscale Ir.

In order to prepare ultrafine La3NbO7 powder, a potential material for thermal barrier coatings, the calcination process of La3NbO7 was studied in this paper.The precursor of La3NbO7 was synthesized by using a citric acid complex method. A calcination process had been systematically investigated. The reaction temperature was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The phase composition of powders was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the morphology was obtained by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results revealed that the single-phase La3NbO7 powder could be successfully prepared while the calcination temperature exceeded 800°C and a better morphology could be maintained at 800°C for 4 hours. Considering all above, an optimum calcination scheme was adopted at 800°C for 4 hours. The as-prepared La3NbO7 powders had a grain size of about 50nm and an average particle size of about 300nm.

ABSTRACTGranular metal films consisting of small Sn, Bi, and Pb particles, typically from less than 100 Å to several 1000 Å in size and embedded in a SiO2 matrix, have been fabricated over a range of metal compositions by RF sputter deposition. Two different film geometries have been prepared, homogeneous films and multilayer films consisting of alternating layers of granular metal and SiO2. These films have been characterized by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy and their melting behavior studied by differential scanning calorimetry. As the concentration of the metal component is decreased, the average particle size decreases and the particle size distribution becomes more narrow. When the solid-liquid transition is studied, the melting temperature has been found to be increasingly depressed as the particle size is reduced. In the smallest particles the relative reduction in the melting temperature is greater than 10 percent. No strong evidence for melting point enhancements, due to pressureeffects arising from the different thermal expansions of the metal particles and the SiO2 matrix, has been observed in either the homogeneous or multilayer films.
