Copper (Cu) nanowire arrays embedded in anodic aluminium oxide films (AAO) on aluminium substrate have been synthesized by alternating current electrochemical deposition. Two-step anodization process has been performed to get the through-hole AAO with ordered nanochannels in 0.3[Formula: see text]M oxalic acids at DC voltages 30, 40, 50 and 60[Formula: see text]V, respectively. Structural characterization of the Cu nanowires has been analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (or) X-ray diffractometer (XRD). Our SEM analysis has revealed that the diameters of vertically oriented Cu nanowires are 15, 25, 45 and 60[Formula: see text]nm and the length of Cu nanowires having high packing density is about 15[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m. XRD measurement has indicated that polycrystalline Cu nanowires prefer growth orientation along the (111) direction. Optical measurements show that reflection of the Cu nanowires/AAO on aluminium reduces with decreasing diameter of the Cu nanowires. This effect can be associated with increased light scattering from metal nanoparticles near their localized plasmon resonance frequency depending on the size and shape of the nanoparticles.

The collagen was blended with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with the maximum maintenance of the natural structure as precondition. The apparent viscosity and rheology property of PVA-collagen blended solution were studied. the mechanical properties of the blend membrane formed from PVA-collagen blended solution were also determined. The PVA-collagen blended solution was wet spinned with the sodium sulfate as coagulant to prepare PVA-collagen composite fibers. SEM analysis and X-ray diffraction analysis of the PVA-collagen composite fibers were studied. The results indicated that, blended with PVA, the spinning property and mechanical properties of collagen were improved. The figure of the aim fiber transect structure was similar as the kidney, and it had a uniform size. The crystallization degree of the fiber was 55.7%, and it was increased with the increase of the hot extending temperature and the extending ratio.

Military Applications

Radar-absorbing materials (RAMs) have been used in military applications for several decades to reduce radar detection of vessels and aircrafts. In the present work, the performance of Ni0.35Zn0.35Cu0.3Fe2O4 ferrite as a RAM is investigated. The ferrite was firstly synthesized by combustion reaction and then calcinated at 1200 °C for 1 h. Composites were prepared with 80:20, 70:30 and 60:40 concentrations in weight of ferrite:polychloroprene. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed a single phase ferrite formation and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the composites showed a good dispersion of the ferrite in the polychloroprene matrix. The electromagnetic (EM) characterization of the composites revealed that the EM attenuation is mainly attributed to magnetic losses observed in the material. The 80:20 composite achieved the best performance and presented a reflectivity of -26.7 dB at 10.2 GHz.

Bioglass Ceramics having molar composition 40SiO2-(44-X)CaO-10MgO-6P2O5-XCaF2 (where X = 0 to 8%) were prepared by conventional melting process in an electric globar furnace at 1400±10°C. Controlled crystallizations were carried out to convert the bioglasses to their corresponding ceramics. Nucleation and crystallization regimes were carried out by differential thermal analysis. The crystalline phases termed hydroxy fluoroapatite, akermanite and wollastonite were identified by using x-ray diffraction analysis. The investigation of bioactivity for the prepared glass and glass ceramics was done by infrared absorption and infrared reflection spectra after immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) for different periods at 37.8°C. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis was carried out to investigate the surface texture. Micrographs show the formation of HCA layer on the surface of the bioglass ceramics samples after 7 days of SBF treatment. The surfaces of the samples were completely covered with irregular and needle-like aggregates of Ca–P layer. The released ions were estimated by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The chemical durability of these materials was determined by pH measurement methods and it was found that pH of the solution increases up from 1 to 7 days. Further, pH decreases with increasing time period, from 15 to 30 days in SBF solution.

This work reports synthesize of polypyrrole nano powder by chemical in-situ polymerization of pyrrole in aqueous solution and ammonium persulfate solution which acts as oxidant. It is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD spectrum reveals that the materials are amorphous in nature. FTIR analysis confirms that all peaks are the main characteristic of PPy. SEM analysis showed that the powder has a uniform granular morphology and the size varies from ∼500 nm to 1 μm. The micrograph of polypyrrole reveals the presence of globular particles. The formed particles are irregular in nature. The results show that the fibers are chemically formed as spherical nanostructures.

AbstractThin films of SrTiO3 (STO) and SrxBa1−xTiO3 (SBT) with x = 0.35, 0.5, 0.9, and prepared by excimer laser deposition on LaAlO3 and MgO were studied. SEM analysis indicates that the surfaces of these films are smooth with isolated pores, except the SBT(x=0.5)/LaAlO3 sample, where a high concentration of large pores was found. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results show well oriented films. External FT-IR reflection studies reveals a band around 500 cm−x, which shows a significant frequency shift with increasing component concentration. Also, this IR-reflectivity band presents no changes between the SBT(x=0.9)/LaALO3 sample annealed at 750°C and the same film annealed at 850°C. On other hand, the STO/LaAlO3 and STO/MgO films show differences in frequency position of this reflectivity band. Raman spectra of the SBT sample with x ≥ 0.35 show broad bands associated with the BaTiO3 (BTO) material. However, all the phonons bands are broader than those in BTO, in particular the band around 309 cm−. Raman results suggest that the spectrum is a consequence of a breakdown in the translational symmetry due to defects. Raman scattering also indicates a similarity between SBT(x=0.9) at 750°C and that at 850°C. Micro-Raman and EDX analysis show that STO/MgO and SBT(x=0.35)/LaAlO3 films are close to the expected stoichiometry, while STO/LaAlO3 and SBT(x=0.9) films present deficiencies of titanium and oxygen.

The existence of peat clay is scattered in many parts of the world with the huge amount. The high compound of minerals in the peat clay can be potentially used as adsorbent and catalyst. This research aims to study the composition of peat clay and functional group of the compound in the peat clay. The characterization of x-ray fluorescence (XRF), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), x-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive x-ray (SEM- EDX) were assigned to compare the sample before and after calcination process at 700 oC 120 min. FTIR analysis showed the presence of quartz, kaolinite, hematite, illite in peat clay. The results of XRF analysis showed that chemical composition of peat clay was dominantly in the form of silica oxide (18%), aluminum oxide (7%), and iron oxide (15%). The amount of compounds was observed to increase to be 32%, 18% and 11%, respectively after calcinations. XRD analysis confirmed the presence of this mineral in the peat clay. SEM analysis showed flake structure of peat clay with EDX which indicated composition of the dominant element namely the presence of Al, Si, and Fe before and after calcination. This high amount of minerals in peat clay led to potential source to be utilized as adsorbent for removing the pollutant or as and catalyst for chemical process.
