The super-tough bio-based nylon was prepared by melt extrusion. In order to improve the compatibility between bio-based nylon and elastomer, the elastomer POE was grafted with maleic anhydride. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) were used to study the compatibility and micro-distribution between super-tough bio-based nylon and toughened elastomers. The results of mechanical strength experiments show that the 20% content of POE-g-MAH has the best toughening effect. After toughening, the toughness of the super-tough nylon was significantly improved. The notched impact strength was 88 kJ/m2 increasing by 1700%, which was in line with the industrial super-tough nylon. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were used to study the crystallization behavior of bio-based PA56, and the effect of bio-based PA56 with high crystallinity on mechanical properties was analyzed from the microstructure.

<p>An energetic co-crystal consisting of the most promising military explosive 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) and the most well-known oxidant applied in propellants ammonium perchlorate has been prepared with a simple solvent evaporation method. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the morphology of co-crystal differs greatly from each component. The X-ray diffraction spectrum, FTIR, Raman spectra, and differential scanning calorimetry characterisation further prove the formation of the co-crystal. The result of determination of hygroscopic rate indicated the hygroscopicity was effectively reduced. At last, the crystallisation mechanism has been discussed.</p>

ABSTRACTMagnesium carbon nanocomposites for hydrogen storage have been synthesized by ball milling with different amount of benzene, acting as a lubricant. Their microstructure has been studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, while the hydrogen desorption temperature has been tested by differential scanning calorimetry. Experimental results show that the microstructure after milling, the hydrogenation capabilities of the material and the reactivity with the air are related to the amount of additives. In particular the carbon to benzene ratio seems to play a major role. In fact, with an optimum value of carbon to benzene weight ratio of 1/6, the amount of carbon being 15 wt% of the milled mixture, a decomposition heat equal to 57% of pure MgH2 was measured, even after air manipulation of the sample.

A completely biodegradable composite was fabricated from an herbal polymer, soy protein concentrate (SPC) resin. Soy protein was modified by adding 30 wt% of glycerol and 5 wt% of poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) to enhance its mechanical as well as thermal property. 3%, 5%, 10%, and 20% nanoclay (NC) were infused into the system. To evaluate its mechanical properties, crystallinity, thermal properties, bonding interaction, and morphological evaluation, tensile, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) tests, and optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) evaluation were performed. Tensile tests showed that the addition of nanoclay improved the mechanical properties of the modified resin. Soy protein is hydrophilic due to the presence of amino acids that contain various polar groups such as amine, carboxyl, and hydroxyl. As a result, polar nanoclay particles that are exfoliated can be evenly dispersed in the SPC resin. From experimental results, it is clear that adding of nanoclay with SPC resin significantly increased the stiffness of the SPC resin. A combination of 5% clay, 30% glycerol, and 5% PVA with the modified SPC resulted in the maximum stress of 18 MPa and Young modulus of 958 MPa. The modified SPC showed a reduced failure strain as well. X-ray diffraction curves showed an improvement of crystallinity of the prepared resin with increasing amount of nanoclay. Interaction among soy, glycerol, PVA, and nanoclay was clearly demonstrated from the FTIR analysis. Optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs revealed rougher surface in the nanoclay infused SPC samples compared to that of the neat one. SEM evaluation revealed rougher fracture surface in the NC infused samples.

Laser cladding experiment was carried out with a 5 kW continuous wave CO2 laser by preplacing Ni75Si25 and Ni78Si13Ti9 powders onto Ni-based superalloy substrate. The microstructure of the specimens was monitored by using optical and scanning electron microscopy. The chemical compositions of the alloys and their phases were obtained using X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. The phase transformation temperatures were determined by non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry tests. The microhardness of the laser cladded sample was measured.

The crystallizing phases from a BaZn YbTh fluoride glass were a BaYbTh fluoride, ZnF2, and YbF3, as identified with x-ray diffraction and composition-enhanced scanning electron microscopy. Blocky BaYbTh fluoride crystallizes first, at about 450 °C, and ZnF2 excluded from this phase crystallizes at its surfaces. At higher temperatures the BaYbTh fluoride phase decomposes partially to BaThF6 and YbF3 phases. The kinetics and temperatures of crystallization were also followed with differential scanning calorimetry.

In this paper, we reported the preparation of nanocrystalline Ta3N5 particles by nitridation of Ta2O5 nanoparticles using NH3 as reactant gas. It was found that nanocrystalline Ta2O5 was converted into Ta3N5 completely at 700°C within 5.0 h, which was much lower than the temperature 850°C for the complete nitridation of micron-sized Ta2O5 powder. The resulting nitride was characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The nitrogen contents in the prepared Ta3N5 powders were quantitatively determined with CHN elemental analyzer and thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC). The color of nanocrystalline Ta3N5 is in fresh red while the one of micrometer-sized Ta3N5 is in dark red.
