Elemental Powder Mixture

Mechanical alloying of the elemental powder mixture of titanium and copper (particle size of both powdersis about 40 μm, purity is not less than 99.6% wt. %) was performed in a high energy planetary ball mill to obtainTi:Cu (2:1 and 3:1) compositions. An addition of 1 vol. % of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT, averagediameter 10-20 nm) into Ti-Cu charge results in a formation of nanoscaled Ti2CuCx and Ti3Cu2Cx carbides(containing 0.5 and 4.2 at.% of carbon and 30.8 and 37.5 at.% of copper, respectively). These carbides havesynthesized for the first time. Nature of interaction of the charge components at processing in a ball mill hasstudied on test samples using a complex of X-ray techniques. These techniques include a full-profile analysis forthe primary processing of diffractograms obtained with DRON-3M apparatus; qualitative and quantitative phaseanalysis for determining the phase composition of the products of synthesis; X-ray structural analysis to verifyand refine the structural models; Williamson-Hall method for determining the grain sizes. The Vickers hardnessof compacted (by sintering) samples with 20.1 and 27.3 at. % Cu varies substantially within (6.9-7.1) GPa. Thus,the average microhardness of synthesized materials is 7 times higher than that of pure titanium microhardness.

Reaction Milling

Nanoscaled (about 15 nm of size) metastable carbide Co3C was synthesized in a high-energy planetary ball mill by mechanical alloying of a mixture of powder cobalt (75 at. %) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNT, 25 at. %). Phase transformation takes place at reaction milling according to the reaction hcp-Co + CNT ® Co3C (reaction time is 120 - 220 min). The crystal structure of the Co3C carbide formed in the milling products was studied by X-ray diffraction method. It has revealed that the Co3C phase crystallizes in a Fe3C-type structure with a = 0.4982(3) nm, b = 0.6715(6) nm, c = 0.4457(7) nm, Pnma space group. The reliability factor RB is equal to 0.065 for 48 reflections presented at diffraction pattern. It is found that the crystal structure of the Co3C carbide obtained by reaction milling of the Co-CNT charge is significantly internally deformed (distortion degree of the CCo6 octahedron is 3.67 %) and contains the reduced interatomic Co-C distances (up to 0.188 nm). It was shown that the use of carbon nanotubes instead of graphite substantially reduces the duration of the Co3C carbide synthesis.

The feasibility of both high spatial and strain resolution is demonstrated using high-energy X-rays between 100 and 300 keV on beamline ID15A at the ESRF. The data analysis was performed using a multiple-peak Pawley-type refinement on the recorded spectra. An asymmetric peak profile was necessary in order to obtain a point-to-point uncertainty of 10−5. The measurements have been validated with complementary techniques or reference data.

The article presents an overview of possible technological schemes to produce an overhead contact wire for railways. Pilot experiments were carried out on the manufacture of a contact wire made of CuMg0.3, CuMg0.4 and CuMg0.5 alloys and having a nominal cross section of 100 mm2. The contact wire was obtained from a continuously cast rod with small section, which was subjected to plastic deformation using the Conform technology and cold drawing of the extruded rod. In the casting process, we encountered the formation of cracks on the cast rod surface and the rods breakage. The inner surface of the graphite bushings of the mold after casting the rod was studied and a thin gray layer was found on the inner surface of the graphite bushings. Areas of the graphite bushing with gray layer were studied by scanning electron microscopy and element-by-element mapping was performed with the selection of a spectrum in the sediment layer area. In order to determine the phase composition of the sediment layer it was analyzed by the method of full-profile analysis of the X-ray diffraction pattern according to Rietveld. X-ray phase analysis showed the CuMg2 and Cu2Mg phases presence. This allowed us to assume a possible mechanism for the formation of the sediment layer. Ultimate tensile strength, elongation and electrical resistivity was determined. Analysis showed that the overhead wires made of CuMg0.3, CuMg0.4, CuMg0.5 alloys meets the requirements of GOST R 55647-2018 for wires made of the second conditional group bronze.

The authors report the preparation of the nanocomposite comprising of vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) and selenium (Se) nanoparticles and functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) (V2O5@Se NPs/MWCNTs). Since Se NPs possesses extraordinary physicochemical properties including larger surface area with higher adsorption capacity, V2O5 NPs were adsorbed onto Se NPs surface through physisorption process (designated as V2O5@Se NPs). The nanocomposite synthesized hydrothermally was evaluated for its antimicrobial activity. The morphology and microstructure of the nanocomposite were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) were employed to analyze the spectral properties of nanocomposite. The microbicidal efficacy of nanocomposite was tested against Gram-negative (G-)ZGram-positive (G+) bacteria and fungus. This is the first report on the synthesis of V2O5@Se NPs/MWCNTs nanocomposites by chemical method that showed microbicidal effect on micro-organisms. The thiol (-SH) units facilitates the enrichment of V2O5@Se NPs onto MWCNTs surface. Ultimately, it reflects on the significant antimicrobial activity of V2O5@Se NPs/MWCNTs.

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as an excellent supporter covered with a thick layer of cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) were prepared by in-situ synthesis. Platinum particles were adopted to enhance the conductivity of CoPc-MWCNTs. The final nanocomposite Pt-CoPc-MWCNTs was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Strong aromatic π-π stacking between MWCNTs and CoPc made CoPc in-situ forming on MWCNTs. With homogeneous thickness of CoPc covered on the MWCNTs and Pt particles equally distributed, the nanocomposite was used as electrocatalyst. The electrochemical properties of the composite got researched by casting the dispersion of Pt-CoPc-MWCNTs on the glassy carbon electrode. Compared with other modified electrodes, Pt-CoPc-MWCNTs/GC electrode exhibited excellent electrochemical activity towards dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA). Linear responses for DA and UA were obtained in the ranges of 5 to 170 μM and 5 to 100 μM, and limits of detection were 2.6 and 1.4 μM (S/N= 3), respectively. Simultaneous detection of DA and UA in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA) also displayed selective property, with no interference to each other.

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/iron oxide magnetic composites (named as MCs) were prepared by co-precipitation method, and were characterised by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) in detail. The prepared MCs were employed as an adsorbent for the removal of Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions from wastewater in heavy metal ion pollution cleanup. The results demonstrated that the sorption of Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions was strongly dependent on pH and temperature. The experimental data were well described by Langmuir model, and the monolayer sorption capacity of MCs was found to vary from 10.02 to 31.25 mg/g for Pb(II) and from 3.11 to 8.92 mg/g for Cu(II) at temperature increasing from 293.15 to 353.15 K at pH 5.50. The sorption capacity of Pb(II) on MCs was higher than that of Cu(II), which was attributed to their ionic radius, hydration energies and hydrolysis of their hydroxides. The thermodynamic parameters (i.e., ΔH0, ΔS0 and ΔG0) were calculated from temperature dependent sorption isotherms, and the results indicated that the sorption of Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions on MCs were spontaneous and endothermic processes.

And Performance

The Dopamine-modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT-Dopa) were synthesized by chemical reaction between dopamine (Dopa) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes which oxidazed by mixed-acid (MWNT-COOH). The structure of MWNT-Dopa were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Thermogravimetric (TG), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques and the dispersity of MWNT-Dopa were studied by Dispersion stability analyzer. The results show that dopamine has been grafted on multiwalled carbon nanotubes successfully, and a dopamine layer which wraps on the surface of multiwalled nanotubes make multiwalled nanotubes have outstanding dispersity in water.
