Powder materials are widely used in the manufacture of electrochemical elements of thermal chemical sources of current. Electrochemical behavior of the powders depends on the shape and size of their particles. The results of the study of the microstructure and particles of the powders of vanadium (III), (V) oxides and lithium aluminate obtained by transmission electron and atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction and gas adsorption analyses are presented. It is found that the sizes of vanadium (III) and vanadium (V) oxide particles range within 70 – 600 and 40 – 350 nm, respectively. The size of the coherent-scattering regions of the vanadium oxide particles lies in the lower range limit which can be attributed to small size of the structural elements (crystallites). An average volumetric-surface diameter calculated on the basis of the surface specific area is close to the upper range limit which can be explained by the partial agglomeration of the powder particles. Unlike the vanadium oxide particles, the range of the particle size distribution of the lithium aluminate powder is narrower — 50 – 110 nm. The values of crystallite sizes are close to the maximum of the particle size distribution. Microstructural analysis showed that the particles in the samples of vanadium oxides have a rounded (V2O3) or elongated (V2O5) shape; whereas the particles of lithium aluminate powder exhibit lamellar structure. At the same time, for different batches of the same material, the particle size distribution is similar, which indicates the reproducibility of the technologies for their manufacture. The data obtained can be used to control the constancy of the particle size distribution of powder materials.

Colloidal silica (silica sol) nanoparticles were synthesized by ammonia- and hydrochloric acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of tetraethoxysilane with subsequent condensation and polymerization. Silica particles with the size of 12‒160 nm were obtained at different temperatures and ratios of the initial reactants and studied by means of TEM, AFM, IR spectroscopy and zeta-potential measurements. The reaction conditions providing the minimum particle size in the final product of the most complete hydrolysis were determined. At pH above 8.5, an increase in the SiO2 content of the sol to 23 wt.% did not change the particle size. At a low (~ 1.8 wt.%) SiO2 content of the sol, a wide variation in pH also did not exert a significant effect on the particle size. Stability of the silica sols synthesized in an alkaline medium was enhanced by the replacement of alcohol with water during evaporation at pH 8.5‒9.5. The possibility to produce silica sols with the required characteristics (particle size, pH, stability, purity, and SiO2 content in an aqueous or alcohol medium) makes them applicable in various industries.

AbstractTwo alloys containing different Mg contents have been used to study the combined effect of stirring and oxidation on microstructure and ductility. The results show that intensive stirring can sufficiently disperse the α-Al particles and enable better liquid feeding during solidification and consequently reduce the porosity. The morphology of the oxides is determined by the amount of both Mg and stirring. With lower Mg content, the oxides present as oxide films, which can be broken up during stirring. In alloy with higher Mg content, the oxides exist as particles with numerous cracks, and the particle size increases slightly after stirring. In the Magsimal 59 alloy, due to the presence of large clusters of pores in the fracture surface, the influence of the small oxide particles on the ductility is negligible. In contrast, in the 42000 alloy, large oxide films on the fracture surface are correlated with the ductility.

It is generally accepted that a uniform spatial distribution of fine refractory oxide particles is required in an oxide-dispersion-strengthened metal to provide good elevated-temperature strengths. The presence of these particles stabilizes the cold-worked microstructure by anchoring low-angle cell boundaries and by restricting the motion of dislocations during loading. Such action by the particles must be a function of the interparticle spacing as is proposed by the Orowan model for yield stress. For a given volume percent of oxide in the metal matrix, the interparticle spacing is directly proportional to the particle size. Therefore, particle growth during the processing of oxide-dispersion-strengthened metals increases the interparticle spacing and inherently decreases the strength.

Cuprous oxides with different morphologies could be prepared by simply changing the reaction condition, such as the temperature. Here, we report the Cu2O morphological transforming from polyhedron to cube with the reaction temperature increasing from 35C to 65C. At lower temperature, the polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) working as a crystal modifier which decreases the surface energy of facets (111) and (110), thus these high energy facets appear in relative low temperature. Facets (111) and (110) gradually diminished along with temperature increasing, while facet (100) expanded. The morphology became into cube from polyhedron. Cu2O particles synthesized at 65C are larger than those at 35C. The UV-Vis extinction bands of the cuprous oxide synthesized in this research were red-shift with the increase of particle size.

2-[3-(1,3-dihydro-1,3,3-trimethyl-2H-indol-2-ylidine)-1-propenyl]-1,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium idoide (HICI) dye-doped SiO2 particles were synthesized by sol-gel method. Dimension, diameter, distribution, and homogeneity of the particles are closely related to the positively charged dye concentration, corresponding to the zeta potential of the particles. When the dye concentration reaches about 7.8 × 10−4 mol/mol SiO2, corresponding to the isoelectric point of the particles, the maximum particle size and the most homogeneity can be reached.

ABSTRACTWe present a study on the magnetic behavior of nanosized iron oxide particles coated with different surfactants (sodium oleate, PVA and starch) in a ferrofluid. The effect of the coating material, and different particle concentrations in the ferrofluid have been magnetically investigated to determine the effective magnetic particle size and possible interaction. The superparamagnetic iron oxide particles, synthesized by a controlled co-precipitation technique, are found to contain magnetite (Fe3O4) as a main phase with a narrow physical particle size distribution between 6 and 8 nm. The mean effective magnetic size of the particles in different ferrofluid systems are estimated to be around 4-5 nm which is smaller than the physical particle size. On a 10% dilution in the starch coated ferrofluid we observe a decrease in the blocking temperature.
