Authigenic chlorite, which is frequently found in sandstone, has a controlling effect on the reservoirs in which tight oil is adsorbed during hydrocarbon filling. In this study, the content, occurrence state, timing, mechanism and influence of authigenic chlorite on the micro-occurrence states of tight oil were studied using Thin Section (TS), Fluorescent Thin Section (FTS), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM), and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). The results indicate: (1) a spatial coupling between chlorite development, a brackish water delta front facies depositional environment, and biotite-rich arkosic sandstone. (2) Authigenic chlorite can be divided into three types: grain-coating chlorite, pore-lining chlorite, and rosette chlorite. Chlorite forms after early compaction but before other diagenetic phases, and grows via precipitation from pore waters that contain products released during the dissolution of volcanic rock fragments and biotites. Porewater is also pressure-released from feldspars and mudstone. (3) The micro-occurrence states of tight oil can be divided into five types: emulsion form, cluster form, throat form, thin-film form, and the isolated or agglomerated particle form. (4) During hydrocarbon filling, tight oil mainly occurs on the surface of grain-coating and pore-lining chlorite in the form of a thin film, the granular or agglomerated forms are mainly enriched within the intercrystalline pores within the authigenic chlorite, and the cluster forms are mainly enriched in dissolution pores. Isolated or agglomerated particles of tight oil primarily occur in the intercrystalline pores of the rosette chlorite. (5) The specific surface area and the authigenic chlorite’s adsorption potential of authigenic chlorite control the micro-occurrence of tight oil on the surface of the chlorite and in intercrystalline pores. The adsorption capacity of chlorite lies in the following order: pore-lining chlorite intercrystalline pores > rosette chlorite > chlorite in feldspar dissolution pores > pore-lining chlorite surface > grain-coating chlorite intercrystalline pores > grain-coating chlorite surface.

ABSTRACTQuantitative measurement of the adhesion strength of thin film metallizations has been achieved by a novel technique employing electrostatic forces to generate delaminating stresses. This technique has been used in testing the adhesion of Al-Cu, Cu, and Al multilayer films deposited on Si. Micro-blister-type failure is revealed by scanning electron microscopy. The delamination process and the geometry of the blister are discussed. The measured adhesion data fit a Weibull distribution function.

Halimeda is an important reef-building green alga. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy spectrum tests on green and white Halimeda collected from Shidao Island in the Xisha Islands show that carbonate is predominantly deposited in the cortexes and medullas, especially in the aragonite raphides of them, as the case of calcium carbonate. These modern carbonate sediments are then compared with their ancient counterparts that are collected from Xichen-1 well in the Yongle Atoll, where a large number of Halimeda segments have been recognized in about 100-m-long late Miocene-middle Miocene whole-coring succession. In addition, there are developed great numbers of algal-frame holes, including secondary dissolved pores and intercrystalline pores in the medullas and in aragonites between cysts, which have formed particular network systems and pore throats.

The thin film of Barium Strontium Titanate (BST) has been studied withcomposition ofby using sol-gel method that annealed in temperature of 600oC and 650oC. The thin film of BST is characterized by using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and an impedance spectroscopy. The results of  FESEM characterization for samples in temperature of 600oC and 650oC are 55.83 nm and 84.88 nm in thickness respectively. The result of impedance spectroscopy characterization given frequency values obtained by the impedance value of real and imaginary.The capacitance value at a frequency of 20 Hz from a thin film of BST in temperature of 600oC and 650oC are 69.36Fand138.70F. The dielectric constant of the thin film of BST in temperature of 600oC and 650oC are 22.17 dan 131.56 respectively.

Titania or titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin film has been synthesized via sol-gel method with monoethanolamine (MEA) as a catalyst. The mixing of titanium butoxide as a precursor, ethanol as a solvent and MEA were stirred using magnetic stirrer under ambient temperature [. The TiO2solution prepared then was deposited on SiO2substrates using spin-coater and the coated films were annealed at 600°C. Finally, both before and after annealed TiO2thin films were characterized using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). The obtained results show the different TiO2particles formation before and after annealed.

AbstractLiquid resin hybridized silica sol-gels and thiol-ene elastomers were evaluated as compatible materials to form thin film, flexible multilayered structures. Liquid resins are cast and cured in air and ambient pressure on the order of minutes. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) reveals homogeneous interfaces and robust interfacial adhesion under tensile and compressive stress. Thickness of the hybrid glass and thiol-ene films range from 0.80μm to 1.5μm and 8 μm to 16 μm respectively.
