Nickel-Copper metallic layers were deposited onto a steel substrate by using the electrochemical method. The morphology and the chemical composition of the deposited layers were studied by scanning electron microscopy. The electrical capacitance was measured on a functional supercapacitor made of two Ni-Cu deposited layers and a Nafion 117� membrane hydrated with distilled water, which served as a dielectric separator.

The intestinal roundworm of swine is pinkish in color and about the diameter of a lead pencil. Adult worms, taken from parasitized swine, frequently were observed with macroscopic lesions on their cuticule. Those possessing such lesions were rinsed in distilled water, and cylindrical segments of the affected areas were removed. Some of the segments were fixed in buffered formalin before freeze-drying; others were freeze-dried immediately. Initially, specimens were quenched in liquid freon followed by immersion in liquid nitrogen. They were then placed in ampuoles in a freezer at −45C and sublimated by vacuum until dry. After the specimens appeared dry, the freezer was allowed to come to room temperature slowly while the vacuum was maintained. The dried specimens were attached to metal pegs with conductive silver paint and placed in a vacuum evaporator on a rotating tilting stage. They were then coated by evaporating an alloy of 20% palladium and 80% gold to a thickness of approximately 300 A°. The specimens were examined by secondary electron emmission in a scanning electron microscope.

For the problem of high-speed rotating centrifuge spindle fracture failures, relevant analyses are conducted from the perspective of microstructure, chemical composition and fracture mechanics by using scanning electron microscopy and related instruments. Experimental results and analyses indicate that the spindle fracture is fatigue failure, mainly caused by cold cracks generated on the journal surfacing. Based on the analysis results, improvements and measures are suggested to better solve the spindle weld fracture failure problems.

Tadpole shrimp inhabit temporary freshwater pools and ponds where their occurrence is largely regulated by rainfall events and water temperature. When dry basins are flooded, cysts of Triops imbibe water and hatch to produce rapidly growing, carapaced larvae. While previous studies show anostracan (fairy shrimp) cyst-surface morphology often species specific, few studies illustrate shell ultrastructure of Triops and none has considered T. longicaudatus. Here we examine the shell of T. longicaudatus (Notostraca) and compare its fine structure to other species of Triops and to that of Artemiafranciscana(Anostraca), which we previously studied.Cysts, produced in culture from Utah broodstock, were purchased from Triops, Inc., 1924 Creighton Rd., Pensacola, FL 32504. Thin sections of cysts were prepared for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) as previously described (Fig. 1). Cysts were also examined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dry, whole or fractured (Figs. 2,3), or after imbibition and/or hatching in oxygen saturated, double-distilled water, at 25 ° C.

AbstractThe morphology of volcanic glass particles in rhyolitic and andesitic tephra of central North Island and Taranaki areas of New Zealand has been studied by scanning electron microscopy. Electron probe analyses of the glasses are compared with those of the clays to which they weather. Loss of silica characterizes the weathering of both glasses. The rapid rate of weathering of andesitic glass is attributed to its occurrence as fine, soft microlites and extensive substitution of Al for Si in the structure. Rhyolitic glass weathers more slowly because it occurs as hard and brittle particles containing relatively little alumina. It is suggested that the structure, chemical composition and chemical activity of allophane is governed largely by the chemical composition and bonding characteristics of the parent glass.

In the present work, the oxide layers developed at elevated temperature on three vanadium-free titanium alloys, of interest as implant biomaterials, were studied by Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy, elastic recoil detection analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The chemical composition of the alloys investigated, in wt%, was Ti–7Nb–6Al, Ti–13Nb–13Zr, and Ti–15Zr–4Nb. Upon oxidation in air at 750 °C, an oxide scale forms, with a chemical composition, morphology, and thickness that depend on the alloy composition and the oxidation time. After equal exposure time, the Ti–7Nb–6Al alloy exhibited the thinnest oxide layer due to the formation of an Al2O3-rich layer. The oxide scale of the two TiNbZr alloys is mainly composed of Ti oxides, with small amounts of Nb and Zr dissolved. For both TiNbZr alloys, the role of the Nb-content on the mechanism of the oxide formation is discussed.

The complex microstructure of as-cast AlSi7Mg alloy has been investigated. Microstructure observations were done using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Chemical composition of the microstructure constituents was investigated by means of energy dispersive spectrometry, conducted both during SEM and STEM investigations. Selected area diffraction was used to identify the phases in the alloy. Microstructure of the alloy in the as-cast condition consists of Al-Si eutectic and intermetallic phases in the interdendritic regions. These are: Mg2Si, α-AlFeMnS, β-AlFeSi and π-AlFeSiMg phases. What is more, number of fine precipitates were found within the α-Al dendrites. Only the occurrence of U1 (MgAl2Si2) phase has been confirmed.

Alloys based on Cu/Cr and Cu/Cr/W attract the attention due to their presence in different applications that require higher electrical properties which are combined with good mechanical properties. In order to synthesis the material based on Cu/Cr and Cu/Cr/W, mechanical alloying technique was used. Four mixtures, X1 (99%CuCr), X2 (97%CuCr), X3 (94%Cu1%CrW), X4 (92%Cu3%CrW – weight percent), were prepared using a vario planetary ball mill Pulverisette 4 made by Fritsch. The mixtures obtained after 10 hours were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that the presence of chromium and tungsten influence the morphology and the particles tend to be flat. Sinter ability and microhardness are influenced by the chemical composition of the samples.

Silica foams with 50% – 70% porosity have been developed by mixing silica powder, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) into distilled water to make slurry. Polyurethane foam (PU) as the template is immersed into the slurry with 45 wt.%, 50 wt.% and 55 wt.%. of silica composition and finally sintered at 1100°C, 1200°C, 1300°C and 1400°C. Several tests which are morphological analysis, porosity and density test, and compressive strength test are compulsory to determine the physical and mechanical of the silica foam. The morphology of the foam has been observed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and the result of pore size distribution is in the range of 255.91 μm to 489.14 μm. The porosity and density obtained from the porosity and density test was 50%-73.66% and 0.5499 g/cm³ up to 0.9757 g/cm³, respectively. Meanwhile, the compressive strength of sintered silica foam obtained is 0.01471 N/mm² up to 0.1467 N/mm².

In this paper, the authors presented some research results on the various surface morphologies of polyaniline (PANi) film, directly synthesised on Pt/SiO2interdigitated microelectrode area by electrochemical method. Theoutcomes of surface morphology and chemical composition structure analysis of PANi film were studied by Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), respectively. The PANi film was fabricated with the nanowires (NWs) form with their diameter from 50÷100 nm. The length of several micrometers depends on aniline concentration and synthesis condition. The obtained consequences demonstrated that the PANi - NWs are fully potential objects for the detection of NH3gas at room temperature.
