The present work reports a detailed study of some physical properties of some novel glasses of Se98–xAg2Inx (x = 0, 2, 4, 6) system. Measurements of thermal transport properties (i.e., thermal conductivity, κ, and thermal diffusivity, χe) have been carried out using the transient plane source technique. Specific heat measurements have been done by differential scanning calorimetry. Thermomechanical properties (i.e., Vickers hardness, Hv, and modulus of elasticity, E) have been evaluated by the indenter test. The minimal energy for formation of microvoids, Eh, and microvoids volume, Vh, of the previously mentioned glassy system are discussed in terms of microhardness, Hv. Temperature and frequency dependence of dielectric constant, ε1, and dielectric loss, ε2, for the same system were measured in the frequency (50 Hz – 1000 kHz) and temperature (303–338 K) range. The experimental results illustrate that the values of dielectric constant, ε1, and dielectric loss, ε2, are decreased with frequency and increased with temperature. The maximum barrier height, Wb, is calculated using the dielectric measurements according to the Guintini equation. The morphology and microstructural analysis of as-prepared alloys are confirmed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and transmission electron microscope.

In this study, it was aimed to prepare a series of PVdF-co-HFP based electrolytes with different LiClO4 loadings and to investigate their chemical and electrical properties in detail. For this purpose, PVdF-co-HFP based electrolytes with different LiClO4 loadings (1–20 weight %) were prepared using solution casting method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric (TGA) –differential thermal and dielectric spectroscopy analysis of PVdF-co-HFP/LiClO4 were performed to characterize their structural, thermal, and dielectric properties, respectively. XRD results showed that the diffraction peaks of PVdF-co-HFP/LiClO4 electrolytes broadened and decreased with LiClO4. TGA patterns exhibited that PVdF-co-HFP/LiClO4 electrolytes with 20 wt % of LiClO4 had the lowest thermal stability and it degraded above 473 K, which is highly applicable for solid polymer electrolytes. Dielectric constant, dielectric loss, and conductivities were calculated by measuring capacitance and dielectric loss factor of PVdF-co-HFP/LiClO4 in the range from 10 mHz to 20 MHz frequencies at room temperature. In consequence, conductivities of PVdF-co-HFP/LiClO4 increased significantly with frequency for low loading of LiClO4 while they only slightly changed with higher LiClO4 addition. On the other hand, dielectric constant values of PVdF-co-HFP/LiClO4 films decreased with frequency whereas they rose with LiClO4 addition. The dielectric studies showed an increase in dielectric constant and dielectric loss with decreasing frequency. This result was attributed to high contribution of charge accumulation at the electrode–electrolyte interface. The electrolyte showed the maximum conductivity of 8 × 10−2 S/cm at room temperature.

Magnetic cobalt nanostructured was synthesized by a two-stage method. First, a solution of cobalt precursor droplets was prepared by an ultrasonic nebulizer. Second, the arc discharge method between two electrodes in an inert gas at atmospheric pressure is used to obtain the nanostructured cobalt powder. The sample obtained was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Scanning electron microscope (SEM), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (HR-TEM), UV-Vis Spectrophotometry, zeta potential (ZP) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The dielectric constant, and AC conductivity of the prepared sample was determined in the frequency range of 4 Hz to 8 MHz. The investigations showed that the Co nanoparticles prepared in this way have smaller and homogeneous nanoparticles with spherical shape morphology with good stability and unique magnetic properties as compared with the bulky one. The dielectric properties analysis shows an enhancement in the dielectric constant and the AC conductivity of the Co nanoparticles.

In this work, BaTiO3 nanoparticles were synthesized through hydrothermal method. The powder obtained from the hydrothermal process (as-synthesized powder) was calcined at 1000 °C. The phase formation and morphology of the as-synthesized and calcined powders were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyzer, and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The XRD data showed that the as-synthesized powder is partially amorphous. Upon calcining the powder at 1000 °C, highly crystalline BaTiO3 with tetragonal structure was obtained. As shown by TGA and DSC analysis, the precursor powder was completely transformed into BaTiO3 at 1000 °C. The presence of BaCO3 as an impurity phase in the powder is due to the lack of Ba2+ / Ti3+/4+. Transmission electron microscope images showed that the particle size of the as-synthesized powder increased after calcination due to crystal growth. In addition, nanocubes with the average size of around 11.66 nm were obtained as a result of the calcination compared to the ellipsoid like particles of the as-synthesized powder.

In this study, the synthesis of a cerium oxide nanoparticle was carried out from Acalypha indica leaf extract. The synthesized nanoparticle was characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) for structural confirmation. The studies clearly indicate that the synthesized CeO 2 nanoparticle is a crystalline material with particle size between 25–30 nm. Further analysis was carried out by Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), to provide evidence for the presence of Ce - O - Ce asymmetry stretching of the CeO 2 nanoparticle. Thermo Gravimetric and Differential Scanning Calorimetry analyses gave the thermal properties of cerium oxide nanoparticles. Antibacterial studies were conducted using the synthesized CeO 2. This result showed increasing rate of antibacterial behavior with gram positive and gram negative bacteria.

The goal of this work is to investigate the effect of incorporating organoclays on the cross-link structure, morphology, and thermomechanical properties of cross-linked organoclay/polyvinyl chloride grafted with styrene and maleic anhydride (PVC- g-(St-MA)) copolymer nanocomposites (CPN). Cloisite30B (C30B) and Cloisite15A (C15A) organoclays were used for the preparation of cross-linked PVC- g-(St-MA) nanocomposites by the solution mixing route. The nanoclay content in nanocomposites varied from 0.2 wt% to 1 wt%. The chemical structure and interaction between PVC- g-(St-MA) cross-linked segments and nanoclays were studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) peaks deconvolution method. FTIR spectroscopy suggested the lowest extent of hydrogen bonding interaction for C30B containing sample, which decreased with clay content increment. The morphology of nanocomposites was studied by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy methods. Morphological observation revealed a near to the exfoliation state for organoclays in PVC- g-(St-MA) nanocomposite containing 1 wt% C30B. However, C15A/PVC- g-(St-MA) nanocomposite (C15A-CPN) exhibited partially intercalated and agglomerated morphology. Differential scanning calorimetry examination was conducted to measure the glass transition temperature ( T g) of the segments. At the same clay content, the T g of the C30B containing nanocomposites were higher than that of C15A samples. The mechanical properties of these nanocomposites were also investigated. As a consequence, C30B-CPN showed improved mechanical properties compared to C15A-CPN and cross-linked PVC- g-(St-MA) samples.

BaTiO3/La2O3 nanopowders were synthesized by a low-temperature soft chemical method, and then the BaTiO3/La2O3 composite ceramics were prepared. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used to characterize the prepared powders and ceramics. And the dielectric properties of the BaTiO3/La2O3 composite ceramics were studied. The results revealed that some of La3+ ions dissolved into the lattice of BaTiO3 at Ba-site and the rest remained at grain boundaries in oxide form of La2O3. With the content of La2O3 increasing, Curie peak of the BaTiO3/La2O3 composite ceramics moved to a lower temperature, and the dielectric loss of the BaTiO3/La2O3 composite ceramics decreased significantly, while the dielectric tunability still kept a relatively high value. The dielectric permittivity and dielectric loss of BaTiO3/La2O3 composite with 10 at.% La2O3 was 227 and 0.0026 at 25 oC and 10 kHz, meanwhile the tunability was up to 17.4% under the electric field of 20 kV/cm.

Nanosized LaFeO3material was prepared by 3 methods: high energy milling, citrate gel, and coprecipitation. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) show that the orthorhombic LaFeO3phase was well formed at a low sintering temperature of 500°C in the citrate-gel and co-precipitation methods. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) observations indicate that the particle size of the LaFeO3powder varies from 10 nm to 50 nm depending on the preparation method. The magnetic properties through magnetization versus temperatureM(T)and magnetization verses magnetic fieldM(H)characteristics show that the nano-LaFeO3exhibits a weak ferromagnetic behavior in the room temperature, and theM(H)curves are well fitted by Langevin functions.

Sintered Temperature

This present work investigates the effects of sintering temperature on densification, mechanical properties and microstructure of Al-based alloy pressed by high-velocity compaction. The green samples were heated under the flow of high pure (99.99 wt%) N2. The heating rate was 4 °C/min before 315 °C. For reducing the residual stress, the samples were isothermally held for one h. Then, the specimens were respectively heated at the rate of 10 °C/min to the temperature between 540 °C and 700 °C, held for one h, and then furnace-cooled to the room temperature. Results indicate that when the sintered temperature was 640 °C, both the sintered density and mechanical properties was optimum. Differential Scanning Calorimetry, X-ray diffraction of sintered samples, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy, and Transmission Electron Microscope were used to analyse the microstructure and phases.
