The present work describes the preparation of nano-lignin particles from calcium lignosulfonate (CL). The nano-lignin was fabricated from colloidal lignin–polyacrylamide complexes via self-assembly. The sizes of the nano-lignin particles were examined by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that the average particle size of the prepared nano-lignin was approximately 100 nm. In addition, the obtained nano-lignin exhibited enhanced fluorescence intensity when compared with the original lignin, which might represent a potential application of this nano-particle product.

Particle size distributions of dusts generated in a model card room and collected on filter media by a vertical elutriator having a particle size cut-off of 15 μm dia have been determined using scanning electron microscopy. Photomicrographs, usually at 3000×, were made of the samples and the particle diameters were estimated by the Martin method. It was found that the average particle size of cotton dust samples measured by this technique was smaller than that reported in the literature obtained by light microscopy. It was also found that the distribution of particle sizes does not follow a simple log-normal distribution unless the smallest particles observed in this study are omitted. A bimodal or perhaps a multimodal distribution yields a better representation of the data. It is concluded that scanning electron microscopy is a practical and accurate method for sizing cotton dust particles on filter surfaces.

The nano-TiO2powders with the average particle size of about 40nm were used as starting materials. The compacted powders were firstly performed in Spark-plasma-sintering (SPS) at a high temperature and then sintered in air for hours at a relatively low temperature. The obtained samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed an obvious reduction in grain size was achieved by taking advantage of modified two step sintering (MTSS). The value of the relative grain growth d/do for the samples prepared by MTSS was less than 3.

This article (a sequel to part-I that appeared earlier in the same journal) presents synthesis and characterisation details of conducting PPY-nanocomposite obtained from gallium nitride–doped ferrite and polypyrrole. The GaN-doped ferrite is synthesised by sol–gel method. GaNFe2O3f-PPY composites are prepared by impregnation technique. Using the SciFinder software we could not trace any report in the literature for this synthesised Ga(2x + 2)NFe2(49 − x)O3-PPY nanocomposites. The doped nanoferrite is combined with polypyrrole, an intrinsic conducting polymer, in three proportions by percentage (70%:30%), (90%:10%) and (97%:3%), to obtain two series each of three compositions for the conducting PPY-nanocomposite. The synthesised polymer composites are characterised by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. From our studies, it has been observed that the crystallite size of nanocomposites is decreased when compared to crystallite size of GaNFe2O3. The average particle size from histogram is in good agreement with Debye–Scherrer formula calculations. The scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy micrograms reveal that the particles are varying with the values of X and the percentage of PPY. The shapes observed are Globules,Tetrahedron,Nanorods of short and long lengths. The GaNFe2O3-PPY composites’ spectra revealed the shift in the band in comparison with the PPY spectra. Also, the wavelength is decreased, and vibrational frequency is increased.

Commercial purity aluminum powder of irregular shape and ligamental morphology having average particle size of 75 µm was blended with medium carbon steel short fibers having average diameter of 100 µm and maximum length up to 1000 µm. The green compacts of pure aluminum and reinforced compositions were hot-pressed in 10−3 torr vacuum, at 723 K, 773 K, and 823 K for 5, 10, and 15 min durations under 50 MPa axial stress on Gleeble 3800 simulator. Microstructures of the sintered composites have been studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). The sintered compacts were characterized for densification behavior, hardness, and growth of FexAly reaction interface. Positive densification parameter was achieved for up to 10 wt.% reinforcement fraction. The maximum hardness of 51 Hv was achieved for 10 wt.% at 823 K for 15 min sintering time. The reaction interface was analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). The reaction interface was found to be composed of Fe3Al, FeAl2, Fe2Al, Fe3Al, Fe4Al, Fe2Al5, and FeAl intermetallics. Growth of the reaction interface was diffusion-controlled which followed a nearly parabolic law with a rate constant of 1.41 × 10−12 m2 s−1 at 823 K.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is widely used in surface studies and continuous efforts are carried out in the search of estimators of different surface characteristics. By using the variogram, we developed two of these estimators that were used to characterize the surface roughness from the SEM image texture. One of the estimators is related to the crossover between fractal region at low scale and the periodic region at high scale, whereas the other estimator characterizes the periodic region. In this work, a full study of these estimators and the fractal dimension in two dimensions (2D) and three dimensions (3D) was carried out for emery papers. We show that the obtained fractal dimension with only one image is good enough to characterize the roughness surface because its behavior is similar to those obtained with 3D height data. We show also that the estimator that indicates the crossover is related to the minimum cell size in 2D and to the average particle size in 3D. The other estimator has different values for the three studied emery papers in 2D but it does not have a clear meaning, and these values are similar for those studied samples in 3D. Nevertheless, it indicates the formation tendency of compound cells. The fractal dimension values from the variogram and from an area versus step log–log graph were studied with 3D data. Both methods yield different values corresponding to different information from the samples.

Nanocrystalline BaTiO3 particles of about 20–35 nm have been successfully synthesized by using cationic, anionic and nonionic surfactants such as cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and poly ethylene glycol (PEG) via hydrothermal method. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The average particle size, measured by powder X-ray diffraction was determined to be 20–35 nm and was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Spherical-like morphologies were obtained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Optical properties of products were investigated by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption and PL spectroscopies.

Surface activity of humic acid (HA) and its six sub-fractions isolated from forest soil were characterized by surface tension measurements, dynamic light scattering, and laser doppler electrophoresis. The surface tension of HA and its sub-fractions reduced from 72.4 mN·m−1 to 36.8 mN·m−1 in exponential model with the increasing concentration from 0 to 2000 mg·L−1. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) and Z-average particle size ranged from 216–1024 mg·L−1 and 108.2–186.9 nm for HA and its sub-fractions, respectively. The CMC have related with alkyl C, O-alkyl C, aromatic C, and carbonyl C (p < 0.05), respectively, and could be predicted with the multiple linear regression equation of CMC, CMC = 18896 − 6.9 × C-296 × alkyl C-331 × aromatic C-17019 × H/C + 4054 × HB/HI (p < 0.05). The maximum particle size was 5000 nm after filtered by a membrane with pore size of 450 nm, indicating HA and its sub-fractions could progressed self-assembly at pH 6.86. The aggregate sizes of number-base particle size distributions were mainly in six clusters including 2 ± 1 nm, 5 ± 2 nm, 10 ± 3 nm, 21 ± 8 nm, 40 ± 10 nm, and >50 nm analyzed by Gaussian model that maybe due to the inconsistency of the components and structures of the HA sub-fractions, requiring further study. It is significance to explore the surface activity of HA and its sub-fractions, which is helpful to clarify the environmental behavior of HA.
