Studies on bio-fillers addition to polymer composites is gaining momentum as it is an effective substitute for core reinforcements, leading to cost reduction in manufacturing composites and enhanced composite performance. The present study utilizes plain E-glass and nylon fibre woven mats as reinforcements with treated broiler egg shell as a filler for developing the composites. Composite laminates were fabricated with varying filler contents. Composites were characterized for tensile, flexural and impact strength. Scanning electron microscopy was carried out to observe the fibre matrix interactions. Results showed a decline in tensile and flexural properties mainly due to weak interfacial bonding while an improvement in resistance to impact loading was observed in Glass Fibre (GF), Nylon Fibre(NF) and Hybrid Composites (HC) with the addition of filler material.

AbstractA continuous fibre reinforced SiC/TiAl composite has been prepared by arc spray and hot pressing. The as-fabricated fibre/matrix interface of monotapes and composites have been examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The arc-spray conditions result in a decohesion at the fibre/matrix interface.

The surface features of plant cells immobilised in a matrix of either reticulated polyurethane foam or nylon fibre have been examined with the scanning electron microscope. It has been found that both cells and matrix are enveloped in a thin film, the appearance of which is very dependent on the method by which material is prepared for scanning electron microscopy. The structure is severely damaged by fixation and dehydration. Only in specimens examined in the frozen hydrated state is a structure seen compatible with that observed with the light microscope. From the way the appearance of the film is affected by different methods of preparation for the scanning electron microscope, it is suggested that the film is a hydrated mucilage. The importance of this film for the retention of cells within the matrix is discussed.

The aim of the current investigation is an analysis of the mechanical and thermal properties of epoxy/ nano-silica/ Kevlar fiber hybrid composites. The ultrasonic vibration-assisted hand layup process was used for the preparation of composite with different weight percentages (1%, 2%, 3%, and 4%) of Nano SiO2 particles and 2 layers of the Kevlar fiber. For the evolution of mechanical properties tensile tests, hardness tests, impact tests, and flexural tests were done. For evaluation of morphological analysis Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy, X-RD, and FT-IR tests were performed. A heat deflection temperature test was performed for the evaluation of the thermal characteristic of the hybrid composite. The results show the improvement of mechanical and thermal properties of the hybrid composite with increasing wt.% of nano SiO2 particles in the hybrid composites. As per the observation of experimental results, the Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy,Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction test also show the enhancement of surface morphology and chemical structure of hybrid composites. The heat diffraction test shows the improvement of thermal resistance and heat absorption capability.As per the observation of experimental results, the tensile strength, hardness, and impact strength increased up to 98%, 16%, and 42% respectively. The flexural test shows the improvement of flexural modulus and stresses 46% and 35% respectively. The heat deflection temperature of hybrid composite improves up to 30%.

AbstractTitanium monoboride (TiB) whisker-reinforced titanium (Ti) matrix composites were produced by powder metallurgy, through vacuum sintering. TiB is formed by thermal decomposition of TiB2 precursor. In addition, a new hybrid composite was developed by admixing nanograined and nanocrystalline (more important) Ti to enhance the transformation mechanism of TiB2 to TiB phase. The morphology and particle size of the initial powders, mixtures and the microstructure of the composites have been studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The phase analysis and transformation monitoring were performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The sintered composites were also subjected to compressive strength and hardness measurements. According to XRD results, through the addition of nanocrystalline Ti, a probable enhancement of the TiB2 → TiB transformation occurred producing more TiB whiskers in the hybrid composites. All samples of the hybrid composites exhibited improved yield strength (1365 MPa) and hardness (358 HV) compared to the non-hybrid ones 927 MPa and 254 HV, respectively. Graphical abstract

Fresh and retail eggs were exposed to luminescent S. enteritidis cultures containing from 104 to 109 CFU/ml at either room temperature (approximately 21°C) for 3 days or 40°C for 16 h. The entry of S. enteritidis through egg shell was evidenced by luminescence in the eggs which was visualized using an Image Quantifier. The rate of contamination of the eggs increased with increasing inoculum size. Scanning electron microscopy was used to confirm the position of S. enteritidis cells in the eggs. The survival rate of the Salmonella cells in liquid eggs and whole shell eggs during storage at 4°C was investigated. Although S. enteritidis did not grow in eggs during storage at 4°C for up to 8 weeks, cells were able to survive. Under these storage conditions, the count was reduced by 1.7 to 2.5 log cycles per g in liquid egg and 0.8 to 1.4 log cycle per g in whole shell eggs. Similar trends were observed using both plate count and luminescence to monitor survival.

Based on Zwick/Roell,this paper had carried on flexural experiments of epoxy resin filled with nano-silica particles, obtaining related mechanical properties.Microstructures of nanocomposites were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in the meanwhile. The flexural experiments revealed that nano- silica particles strengthened epoxy resin very well, and flexural modulus of modified matrices rised due to rigid silica particles, compared with pure epoxy matrices. Flexural strengths of epoxies modified by silica nanoparticles improved significantly.

The egg-shell surface structure of the Japanese tusser and Chinese tusser was observed by means of scanning electron microscopy. There were a lot of similarities between the two egg-shells, but the fine structure may be easily distinguished. As to the Japanese tusser, the petals of the petaloid pattern around micropyle were elongate and raised in the middle (Fig. 1); micropylar tubes numbered 11-13 (Figs. 2 and 3); the wider and thicker bank formed irregularly shaped net-like structure of the egg-shell surface other than in the vicinity of micropyle (Fig. 5); and the thickness of the egg-shell was about 70 μm. In the Chinese tusser the petals were shorter, wider,and even; micropylar tubes numbered 8-9 (Fig. 4); the narrow and low bank formed hexagonal, pentagonal, heptagonal, or octagonal net-like structure; the aeropyle wall was well developed, almost the same in size (Figs. 8 and 9); and the thickness of the egg-shell was about 40 μm.
