ABSTRACTMaterial like PET {polyethylene terephthalate (C10H8O4)n} are usually thrown away present in glasses of refreshments, water bottles between others which are hard to be degraded. However, this material can be recycled and used to acquire nanostructures. During this investigation the objective was to obtain nanoparticles and carbon based nanostructures from the polymer type PET by means of microwave irradiation at the temperature of 260°C at normal pressure and at 600 psi in the presence of acids, ethylene glycol and by means of calcinations. The obtained nanoparticles of ultrananocrystalline diamonds were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Raman spectroscopy.

BiFeO3 polyhedrons had been successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The as-prepared products were characterized by power X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The possible mechanisms for the formation of BiFeO3 polyhedrons were discussed. Though comparison experiments, it was found that the kind of precursor played a key role on the morphology control of BiFeO3 crystals.

ABSTRACTNucleation of gold nanoclusters in TiO2(110) single crystal using ion implantation and subsequent annealing were studied by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry /channeling (RBS/C), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Approximately 1000 Au2+/nm2 were implanted at room temperature in TiO2(110) substrates. TEM and SEM measurements reveal that rounded nanoclusters were formed during the implantation. In contrast, subsequent annealing in air for 10 hours at 1275 K promoted the formation of faceted (rectangular shaped) Au nanostructures in TiO2. RBS channeling measurements further reveled that Au atoms randomly occupied the host TiO2 lattice during the implantation. However, it appears that some Au atoms moved to the Ti lattice positions after annealing.

The ordered polyaniline nanoarrays had dispersed homogeneously on the graphene oxide or reduced graphene oxide sheets without agglomeratation in isopropanol media. The composites were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and electrochemical tests. The electrochemical performance of the electrode material had been dramatically improved with the highest specific capacitance of 1351 F/g.

In this paper, a facile method was presented to fabricate CuS porous microspheres, which were formed by the intergrowth of CuS polycrystalline nanoslices. The obtained sample has been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electronic diffraction (SAED), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). On the basis of the experimental results, we proposed a self-assemble mechanism to elucidate the formation of CuS nanoslice structure.

The morphological characterization of any polymer blend plays an important part in the development of a new blend system because the properties of blends are dictated by phase morphology which is dependent upon the chemistry and the processing conditions. Light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy are the most commonly used microscopical techniques for morphological characterization. Transmission electron microscopy techniques provide the best resolution (≈ 0.3 nm) but are limited in the size of sample area and require elaborate sample preparation procedures. Surface charging and beam damage problems have been some of the drawbacks of conventional scanning electron microscopy with non-conducting materials like polymers.The use of low accelerating voltage scanning electron microscopy (LVSEM) in the characterization of polymers and other non-conducting materials is beginning to be recognized.
