Abstract This study was carried out to investigate the extraction of cellulose acetate (CA) from cajuput (Melaleuca leucadendron) twigs and sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) bagasse using an environmentally friendly method. At first, cellulose was extracted from cajuput twigs (CT) and sugarcane bagasse (SB) through prehydrolysis followed by soda (NaOH) pulping and elementary chlorine-free (ECF) bleaching. Later, the extracted cellulose was acetylated using iodine (I) as a catalyst. The obtained CA was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction. FTIR and NMR analysis proved the replacement of free OH (hydroxyl) groups by acetyl groups. The degree of substitution (DS) showed the acetylation capability of cellulose extracted from CT and SB as well. The cellulose diameter and its crystallinity index were measured by SEM and X-ray diffraction, respectively. Furthermore, the thermal gravimetric analysis showed that CA extracted from CT and SB was thermal resistance. Therefore, CT and SB could be potential alternative resources for CA production using the mentioned method.

The degree of substitution (DS) showed the acetylation capability of cellulose extracted from CT and SB as well. The diameter of CA and its crystallinity index (CrI) were measured by SEM and X-ray diffraction, respectively. The diameter of CA extracted from CT was approximately 10 μm and it was approximately 20 to 30 μm for SB. The CrI of the CA extracted from SB and CT was 75.6 and 60.2, respectively. Furthermore, the thermal gravimetric analysis showed that CA extracted from CT and SB was thermal resistance. Therefore, CT and SB will be potential alternative resources for CA production using the mentioned medthod.

The decomposition of goethite and goethite/siderite concentrates into hematite with thermal modification was studied through the measurements of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscope (SEM) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The experimental results showed that goethite decomposed into hematite directly at around 300°C without any intermediate phase and the decomposition of siderite completed at 500°C. Nanoscale granular structures were observed in the thermally treated products. It deserves highlighting that the decomposition processes proceeded from surfaces into bulks.

Diels Alder Reaction

A regiospecific bis-adduct of C70 with anthracene was prepared with unusually high yield (68%) by the Diels–Alder reaction in the absence of solvent (melt). The structure of the bis-adduct was an unexpected 12 o'clock isomer, as determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and spectroscopy.

AbstractIndexed powder diffraction data for Lu(OH)3 are reported. The compound is cubic, Im3(No. 204), with a = 8.2221(3)Å, V = 555.84Å3, Z = 8, Dm = 5.36(4)Mg m−3 (Dx = 5.40Mg m−3). The refined cell parameter was determined by employing a Siemens Debye-Scherrer camera (Cu radiation, Ni filter). The indexed data were evaluated according to the quantitative figures of merit FN and M20 (F29 = 20(0.028,51) and M20 = 43.5). A thermal gravimetric analysis is presented. The JCPD S Diffraction File No. for Lu(OH)3 is 38–1500.

In this paper, carbon spheres were synthesized by CVD method. These carbon spheres exhibit diameters of about 200 nm. Thermal gravimetric analysis indicated the good stability in high temperature of the carbon spheres. The products were treated by microwave plasma and high temperature vacuum heat treatments respectively. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope.

A new type of EVA-g-PU/OMMT nanocomposites was synthesized through the method of chemical modification and melt intercalation. FTIR testing showed that the PU prepolymer was grafted on EVA main chains successfully. The structures of EVA-g-PU/OMMT nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The enhanced storage modulus of EVA-g-PU/OMMT nanocomposites was characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The thermal stabilities of EVA/clay nanocomposites were also studied by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Mechanical testing showed that the tensile strength and tear strength of EVA-g-PU/OMMT nanocomposites were far superior to pure EVA.

ABSTRACTLayered nanocomposites of molybdenum disul.de (MoS2) andp oly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) were studied using x-ray di.raction of powder and oriented thin.lm samples. Thermal gravimetric analysis provided information on the composition of the material. The e.ects of the molecular weight of PEO andthe atmospheric relative humidity on the structure were also investigated. A basal plane spacing of 14.3 °, corresponding to an expansion of 8.1 ° between MoS2 layers, was foundfor dry samples, in agreement with the literature. At about 30% humidity, the expansion increases to 10.6°. This increase corresponds approximately to the thickness of one monolayer of water. The spacing is constant until around80% humidity, when the expansion begins to increase again, reaching up to 25 ° near 100% humidity. X-ray coherence lengths in the direction perpendicular to the planes averaged13, 7 and 2 MoS2 layers for the dry, 58% humid and nearly 100% humid samples, respectively.
