A magnetic and electric fields assisted electrospinning, in which a charged copper ring was placed between the needle and the two paralleled magnets receivers, was presented to produce aligned polyacrylonitrile/graphene/Fe3O4 (PAN/Gr/Fe3O4) magnetic composite nanofibers. Characterizations of the magnetic composite nanofibers were investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, high-resistance meter, and other methods. The results showed that Gr and Fe3O4 nanoparticles are suitable additives to improve alignment degree and conductive properties of nanofibers.

AbstractNanofibrous dressings serve as an impeccable candidate in the management of wounds. Nanofibrous composites composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) and green tea using dual solvent systems at different ratios were fabricated through electrospinning. Pure PCL electrospun fibers along with composites were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), wettability, water uptake analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). SEM indicated that fibrous morphology and the diameter of PCL/green tea were smaller for chloroform/dimethylformamide (DMF) (601 nm) and acetone/DMF (896 nm) than the pure PCL (673 nm and 1,104 nm for chloroform/DMF and acetone/DMF, respectively). Wettability of the fabricated composites was increased, and pure PCL fibers were slightly more hydrophobic (100°) than PCL/green tea (94°). Water uptake of the composites was enhanced compared with PCL significantly in acetone/DMF. The PCL/green tea nanofibrous wound dressing with enhanced physicochemical properties serves as an indispensable candidate for wound healing applications.

This paper reports the properties of Bi-2223 superconductors that had been doped with Fe2O3 at Cu-site of the system. It was prepared in bulk form using high purity oxide powders via solid state reaction technique with intermediate grinding. A series of x = 0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08 and 0.10 of Fe were stoichiometrically added to the well balanced of Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3-xFexOy in order to trace the effect of Fe doping. Hence, electrical resistivity, X-ray diffraction and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy have been carried out to assess the effects of Fe doping. These measurements indicate that Fe doping decreased the critical temperature and degrade the formation of high Tc phase compared with the undoped sample. The orthorhombicity parameters were increased due to substitution of Cu 3+ ion by Fe 2+ ion.

We report a facile method for the fabrication of polystyrene/silver composite nanoparticles with core-shell nanostructures. First, polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles with carboxyl acid groups on their surfaces were prepared via the dispersion polymerisation of styrene in water with the assistance of acrylic acid. Second, with the addition of [Ag(NH3)2]+ to the PS dispersion, [Ag(NH3)2]+ was absorbed onto the surfaces of the modified PS nanoparticles. Finally, the [Ag(NH3)2]+ complex ions were reduced to Ag to form the PS/Ag nanocomposites upon heating. The resulting PS/Ag composite nanoparticles were characterized via scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering.

In this study, whey protein concentrate (WPC) and poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) composite nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning in the diameter of 50-350nm. Characterization tests of the polymer solutions such as density, viscosity, conductivity was studied. Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (IR) results confirmed that the processed fibers were composed of both PCL and WPC constituents. Morphology of nanofibers composite was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Moreover the PCL/WPC nanofibers with high WPC content exhibited the maximum tensile strength (about 1.40 MPa).

We report on the fabrication and characterization of disk-shaped bulk MgB2 superconductors with high performance as superconducting bulk magnets. Several samples of diameters 20 mm, 30 mm and 40 mm were fabricated using a solid state reaction in pure Ar atmosphere at 775°C for 3h. The magnetization measurements confirmed that all the samples exhibited a sharp superconducting transition with Tc(onset) at around 38.5 K. The samples showed respective critical current density (Jc) values of 176 kA cm-2 and 55 kA cm-2 at 20 K in self field and 1T. The Jc values increased further to 250 kA cm-2 and 100 kA cm-2 with decreasing temperature down to 10 K. MgB2 samples 20 mm and 30 mm in diameter and 7 mm in thickness exhibited trapped field values of 1.15 T and 1.3 T at 25 K, respectively. Microstructural observations with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the samples are highly porous. And hence, continuing development of large-sized bulk MgB2 with higher density will lead to promising industrial applications.

Abstract In this work, we present new results concerning electrostatic discharge (ESD) robustness of 0.6 μm CMOS structures. Devices have been tested according to both HBM and socketed CDM (sCDM) ESD test procedures. Test structures have been submitted to a complete characterization consisting in: 1) measurement of the tum-on time of the protection structures submitted to pulses with very fast rise times; 2) ESD stress test with the HBM and sCDM models; 3) failure analysis based on emission microscopy (EMMI) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).
