This research aimed to evaluate the technological potential of genipap flour (Genipa americana L.) in freeze drying and oven drying processes. The ripened genipap fruits were harvested and submitted to pulp extraction, which after dehydration in an oven and freeze drying, were crushed to obtain the flours. When analyzed by X-ray diffraction, the flours were amorphous, with indicative of starch. In addition, the presence of water, aromatics and primary alcohols was observed by infrared spectra (FTIR). In micrograph (SEM) FPJDE was less porous and starches were identified. For thermogravimetry (TGA) similar thermal events occurred, it was important to verify the thermal behavior, humidity and ash present in the food. In the mineral composition, potassium, magnesium, manganese, iron, phosphorus, copper, and calcium were present, the flours as a source of manganese and with a high content of iron, potassium, copper and magnesium. It was concluded that the flours present a quantity of nutrients and favorable technological characteristics such as: thermal stability, humidity below that established by law for the manufacture and production of food.

The infrared spectra and powder X-ray diffraction patterns of polycrystalline YPO4-YCrO4 samples are studied from the point of view of their crystal symmetry. Mixed crystals of the D4h19 symmetry are formed over the region of 0-30 mol.% YPO4 in YCrO4. The Td → D2d → D2 or C2v(GS eff) correlation is appropriate for both PO43- and CrO43- anions.

ABSTRACTThe Nd-disilicide, which exists only in a tetragonal or an orthorhombic structure, cannot be grown epitaxially on a Si(111) substrate. However, by adding Y and using channeled ion beam synthesis, hexagonal Nd0.32Y0.68Si1.7 epilayers with lattice constant of aepi = 0.3915 nm and cepi = 0.4152 nm and with good crystalline quality (χmin of Nd and Y is 3.5% and 4.3 % respectively) are formed in a Si(111) substrate. This shows that the addition of Y to the Nd-Si system forces the latter into a hexagonal structure. The epilayer is stable up to 950 °C; annealing at 1000 °C results in partial transformation into other phases. The formation, the structure and the thermal stability of this ternary silicide have been studied using Rutherford backscattering/channeling, x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy.

In this study, the effect of SBR concentration (10 Phr, 20 Phr & 30 Phr ) on the thermal behavior of EPDM/SBR blends was studied. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to check weight loss of samples as function of temperature by heating upto 600°C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was performed to determine quality and % crystallinity of the elastomer blends. It was seen that % crystallinity improved with an increase in the content of SBR in EPDM/SBR blends. TGA revealed that the thermal stability of EPDM/SBR blends has improved by 17% than neat EPDM. Carbon nano-coatings produced by sputtering have no beneficial influence on thermal behaviour of elastomers.

Cobalt(II) and zinc(II) complexes of ethyl carbazate (ECZ), [Co(ECZ)3](NO3)2 and [Zn(ECZ)3] (NO3)2, were synthesized. Single crystals of these two compounds were grown from aqueous solutions using a slow evaporation method. Their structures have been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Both of them are monoclinic with space group P21/n. The complexes are further characterized by element analysis and IR measurements. Their thermal stabilities are studied by using TG-DTG, DSC techniques. When heated to 350 °C, only metal oxide was left for both complexes.

In this paper, magnesium oxychloride cement with stoichiometry 3Mg(OH)2∙MgCl2∙8H2O (MOC 3-1-8) was prepared and characterized. The phase composition and kinetics of formation were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Rietveld analysis of obtained diffractograms. The chemical composition was analyzed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to study morphology, and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was also used for the analysis of the prepared sample. In addition, thermal stability was tested using simultaneous thermal analysis (STA) combined with mass spectroscopy (MS). The obtained data gave evidence of the fast formation of MOC 3-1-8, which started to precipitate rapidly. As the length of the time of ripening increased, the amount of MgO decreased, while the amount of MOC 3-1-8 increased. The fast formation of the MOC 3-1-8 phase at an ambient temperature is important for its application in the production of low-energy construction materials, which corresponds with the challenges of a sustainable building industry.

We report for the first time the fabrication of hierarchical ordered superstructure CuB2O4 with flower-like morphology via a one-step, low temperature hydrothermal method. The tetragonal structure of CuB2O4 was determined by X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Optical measurements attested of the quality of the fabricated CuB2O4 and high temperature X-ray diffraction confirmed its thermal stability up to 600 ?C. The oriented attachment growth and the hierarchical self-assembly of micrometer-sized platelets producing hierarchical superstructures with flower-like morphology are designed by pH of the hydrothermal solution. The excellent band gap, high thermal stability and hierarchical structure of the CuB2O4 are promising for the photovoltaic and photocatalytic applications.
