AbstractNano nitrocellulose/cyclotetramethylene tetranitramine (NC/HMX) composite particles were precipitated from their co-solutions by the spray drying method. The nano composite samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. Impact sensitivity and thermal decomposition properties of nano composites were also measured and analyzed. Results show that the product particles are close to spherical in shape and range from 0.5 μm to 5 μm in size. In the product particles, β-HMX particles with size ranging from 50 nm to 100 nm are uniformly and discretely dispersed in NC binders. The drop height of nano NC/HMX composite particles (66.1 cm) is more than triple as high as that of raw HMX (21.6 cm), exhibiting considerably low impact sensitivity. Moreover, nano composite particles are easier to decompose and decomposed more rapidly than do raw HMX under the thermal stimulus due to the lower peak temperature and activation energy and higher reaction rate. Therefore, nano composites are expected to be candidates filled in high burning rate propellants.

This study investigated the applicability of magnetite Fe3O4 nanoparticles coated with chitosan (CMNs) for the removal of some toxic heavy metals from simulated wastewater. Magnetic nanomaterials were synthesized using the co-precipitation method and characterized by transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transformer infrared spectroscopy. The magnetic properties of the prepared magnetic nanoparticles were determined by a vibrating-sample magnetometer. Batch experiments were carried out to determine the adsorption kinetics of Cr(VI) and Cd(II) by magnetic nanoparticles. It is noteworthy that CMNs show a highly efficient adsorption capacity for low concentration Cr(VI) and Cd(II) ions solution, which can reach 98% within 10 min.

The lamellar nanostructured yttrium films on α-Al2O3 substrates were successfully synthesized by electroless deposition using the lyotropic liquid crystalline templating strategy. The reaction of hydrazine hydrate and Y3+ dissolved within the aqueous domains of the lyotropic liquid crystalline phase produced the nanostructured yttrium films. The low-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) indicated that the as-resulted films possessed lamellar regular array of nanochannels with periodicity of 6 nm. With well-defined nanochannels and higher surface areas, the nanostructured films may find applications in the field of electronic materials.

Firstly, Magnesium oxide (MgO) whiskers were prepared by calcination of magnesium carbonate (MgCO3)whiskers which were obtained by solution method. Then, surface-grafted MgO whiskers with poly (L-lactide) were synthesized by bulk ring-opening polymerization ofL-lactide onto the surface of MgO whiskers. The MgO whiskers and surface-grafted MgO whiskers were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and fourier transformation infrared (FTIR). Results showed that MgO whiskers diameter in the range of 0.02-0.5μm, the length is between 10-80μm and well dispersed. A new characteristic stretching vibration absorption peak of C=O apppeared in the IR spectrum of the surface-grafted MgO whiskers, which suggested that poly (L-lactide) chains were successfully grafted on the surface of MgO whiskers.

Sol Gel Process

Li-Ti-O (abbreviated as LTO) nano-composites were synthesized via sol-gel process, and then doped BaTiO3 based X7R type ceramics. The LTO nano-composites and their ceramics were characterized by means of thermaogravimetric, Fourier-transform infrared, X-ray diffraction methods, transmission electron microscopy. We also characterized the dielectric properties of the LTO doped BaTiO3 based ceramics of X7R type. The results indicated that LTO nano-composites were nanometer scale powders. The pH value and calcining temperature had an influence on particle size of LTO sintering aids. At pH about 3 and with calcining at 600 °C, the nano-composites attained minimum particle size (about 10 nm). By adding 0.10 wt% of the LTO nano-composites, the temperature permittivity achieved about 4200 when sintered at 1240 °C for 4 h, and the dielectric properties met X7R standard.

This study prepared Magnesium-Partially Stabilized Zirconia (Mg-PSZ) filler synthesis and direct foaming technique using egg whites, and impregnated by PMMA. The results were evaluated systematically by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). XRD results denote that the powder sample of MgPSZ was successfully formed with various crystal size of tetragonal and monoclinic phase. SEM and TEM observations revealed that nanoparticles MgPSZ were in spherical and long rounded shapes. Furthermore, SEM observation revealed that the direct foaming method were also successful in the formation of porous structures which favourable for impregnation process by PMMA. The use of egg whites as a polymer precursor in both methods demonstrates that porous specimens contained nanosized, predominantly tetragonal, Mg-PSZ powders were successfully synthesized. This shall yield an interesting prospect towards cheap, reliable, and biocompatible product to resemble the modulus elasticity of dentin.

Fabrication And Characterization

This study has encountered with the fabrication of ferrites (Mg and Mn) using citric acid as anionic surfactant in sol-gel method followed by calcinations at varied temperatures (300, 600, 800°C) for 2h, respectively. The fabricated ferrites have been characterized by FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope). The FTIR spectrum for MnFeO3 shows that some functional groups already removed under 300°C calcination due to several oxidation numbers possessed by Mn leading to more flexibility. The XRD diffractograms for both MgFe2O4 and MnFeO3 show that the transition phase from amorphous to crystalline structure occurred in the temperature range of 300-600°C. The SEM mappings based on the Fe distribution for both MgFe2O4 and MnFeO3 show that more Fe distributed over the ferrites surface at 600 and 800°C, while the SEM mappings for both ferrites (Mg and Mn) show less Fe distribution at 300°C calcination, thus, it indicates more repulsion force bearing by higher amounts of Fe atoms at higher thermal agitation due to volume expansion. The TEM spectra proved that both ferrites existed as crystals after calcined at 600°C. The fabricated ferrites have remarkable electrical properties useful for the manufacture of semiconducting materials.

Different Content

In this study, LiZn ferrites with different content of CNTs (1%-9%) were successfully prepared by a sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction pattern exhibit a relatively high crystallinity of the Li0.25Zn0.5Fe2.25O4/CNTs composite, and the CNTs still exist after acid treatment and subsequent heat treatment. Then the composite was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), the results demonstrate that the particles are nearly spherical in shape and agglomerated to some extent. By a sol-gel method and subsequent calcination, the temperature of LiZn ferrites/CNTs temperature control biomaterials gradually increase and maintain at a certain temperature in the alternating magnetic field, so it can be a potential material used for hyperthermia applications.
