AbstractActinide specific chelator (che) conjugated with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been developed to separate nuclear waste in acidic conditions. Compared to the traditional nuclear waste treatments, such as solvent extraction and ion exchange, this method is a simple, compact and cost-effective process that generates minimum secondary waste. In this paper, we focus on the coating process of MNPs to achieve a combination of good acidic resistance, high chelator loading density and efficient magnetic separation. An optimized silica coating process before conjugates chelator directly onto MNPs significantly improves the acidic resistance of the MNP-che complex. Chelator loading density is significantly increased by attaching a linear polyamine polymer poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) to the surface of the MNPs using chemical and physical approaches.

Acid-resistant ultramarine blue pigment with a silica shell was prepared by dense silica coating process. From X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis, it was confirmed that silica in the coating is attached on the ultramarine particles surface by characterizing the composition of elements and the microstructure on the surface of the silica coated particles. Orthogonal experimental design was applied to optimize the operating conditions of the coating process. The best acid resistance for the coated ultramarine blue reached the ninth grade under the following conditions: silica adding rate of 5 g/h, solid content of 6 g/l in the slurry and coating time of 2.5 h.

It has been shown that there are numerous advantages in imaging both coated and uncoated polymers in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) at low voltages (LV) from 0.5 to 2.0 keV compared to imaging at conventional voltages of 10 to 20 keV. In imaging metal coated polymers in LVSEM beam damage is reduced, contrast is improved, and charging from irregularly shaped features is reduced or eliminated. Imaging uncoated polymers in LVSEM allows observation of the surface with little or no charging and with no alterations of surface features from the metal coating process required for higher voltage imaging. This is particularly important for high resolution studies where it is desired to image features 1 to 10 nm in size. At low voltages the sample-beam interaction volume resides closer to the surface which increases the ratio or exiting current to that of the primary beam current.

In this work, silicone/carbon nanotube (CNT) composites were produced using a spread coating process, followed by morphological investigations and determination of their electrical properties and heating behaviour through the application of electric potential. Composites containing varying amounts of CNT (1–7%) were investigated for their thermal behaviour with the use of an IR camera. Subsequently, thermal behaviour and electrical properties were measured when the samples were stretched (up to 20%). With the 7% CNT composites, which had a conductivity of 106 S/m, it was possible to achieve a temperature of 155 °C at a relatively low voltage of 23 V. For high CNT contents, when the potential was controlled in such a way as to maintain the temperature well below 100 °C, the temperature remained almost constant at all levels of strain investigated. At higher potentials yielding temperatures around 100 °C and above, stretching had a drastic effect on temperature. These results are critical for designing composites for dynamic applications requiring a material whose properties remain stable under strain.
