Geopolymer Paste

Abstract Geopolymer may improve corrosion protection by slowing the corrosion of steel in concrete or paste. When the alkalinity of the paste is reduced, the passivating layer is destroyed. If the paste is more pores, it can be easily absorbed by NaCl solution or moisture. The improved properties of the geopolymer paste increase its durability by preventing corrosive elements from harming the steel contained within the geopolymer paste. Two types of paste were used in this research which geopolymer paste and Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) paste. A Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was used to determine the surface morphology of geopolymer paste and OPC paste. Based on the result of this investigation, the morphology characterisation is related to the concrete’s endurance. The formation of an aluminosilicate gel during the geopolymerisation process is critical for stability, increasing the geopolymer matrix’s density. As a result, this can increase the durability of geopolymer paste compared to OPC paste which geopolymer also can improve corrosion protection of steel in paste.

Poly(vinyl chloride) photodecomposition films that contains melamine Schiff base (0.5% by weight) as photostabilizers upon preservation with an ultraviolet light (UV) was investigated. The photodecomposition rate constant was reduced significantly in existence of melamine Schiff base compared to PVC (blank). The Schiff base 1 was found to most effective additive in PVC photostabilization films. Photodecomposition rate content for PVC films containing Schiff base 1 was found to be 5 × 10-3 sec-1 compared to 8.7 × 10-3 sec-1 for blank film. Ultraviolet radiation aging behaviors of PVC films were studied through leaching test by measuring the degree of migration. The surface morphology of PVC films was inspected by scanning electron microscope.

Shape And Size

Two types of surface markings on the aeciospores of five pine stem rusts occurring in Canada were observed under a scanning electron microscope. Spores of four species, Endocronartium harknessii (J. P. Moore) Y. Hiratsuka (= Peridermium harknessii J. P. Moore), Cronartium coleosporioides Arth. (= P. stalactiforme Arth. & Kern), C. comptoniae Arth., and C. ribicola J. C. Fisch., had annulated processes with five to seven layers and each spore had a smooth area. The smooth area was at the same level as the top layer of the processes. Each species could be distinguished by the shape and size of its processes. Spores of Cronartium comandrae Pk. had no smooth areas and had obtuse or cuspidate processes with no annulations. Different ontogenies were apparent for the two types of spore surface markings.

SnO2–Sb2O3 or SnO2-Sb2O3-MnO2/ PbO2 electrode on aluminum substrate were prepared by thermal decomposition、electroless plating and electrodeposition .The surface morphology of coatings were investigated by using scanning electron microscope(SEM). The results show the effects of composition of solution and thermal oxidation temperature on the microstructures of the coating were considerable. The structure of oxide coating become refined with the thermal de- composition temperature increasing. The oxide coating without Mn is coarser than those with Mn. The surface of α-PbO2 and β-PbO2 deposited on the oxide coatings without Mn prepared at 450°C are compact and even, the electrocatalyst of the electrode is optimumest.

Exhaustion Method

Nowadays, pigment dyeing is one of the most interesting methods that is applied to make specific designs on denim and fashionable garments. Here, in this research, the bio-washing of pigment dyed denim has been considered with laccases. The desizing and bleaching of denim samples are first carried out and they are subsequently dyed with two types of pigments (Bemacol Blue GF and Ricoprint OSD Serie Blue) through the exhaustion method. The pigment dyed samples are then washed with various laccase concentrations, with and without the use of pumice stones. Color changes, bending and wrinkle recovery are examined. Furthermore, the surface morphology of the products is verified by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a Projectina microscope. The samples washed with laccases and pumice stones show higher dye stripping compared with those without the use of pumice stones. The bending properties of the samples treated by pumice stones show desirable results compared with the laccases, but this caused intense damage to the samples. Also, desirable results have been achieved by using laccases in the washing process. Treatment with laccases helps to obtain brilliant samples with decreased staining on the samples with a pocket and also lowers pigment discharge in the effluent.

This research deals with the interest in production of Cu-Sn-Zn ternary alloy coating via electroplating on carbon substrate by using less hazardous electrolyte. A detailed study was made on the effect of different concentration of reducing and complexing agents. The surface morphology and phase structure of the deposited layers were examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), respectively. The results confirmed that the layers of Cu-Sn-Zn was obtained with this less hazardous electrolyte.
