Abstract Electron beam modification of carbon black (N220) and carbon-silica dual phase filler affects the microstructure of carbon black. This is confirmed from X-ray diffraction studies. The scanning electron microscopy /energy dispersive X-ray analysis reveals surface oxidation, which is further corroborated from nitrogen and iodine adsorptions. Transmission electron microscopy studies show the aggregation of fillers upon electron beam irradiation. Linear fractal dimension calculated by image analysis increases upon irradiation, due to the formation of filler aggregates.

Electron beam irradiation cross-linking of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films with the presence of N, N'- methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) were studied, improving the thermal stability. The films unirradiated and irradiated were characterized by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and thermo gravimetric analysis. The PVA films with the presence of MBA would crosslink after irradiation. The crystallinity increased firstly and then decreased as a function of irradiation dose, while the melting temperature decreased with increasing the dose. Beside, the T30%, T50%, T90% and Tmax temperature of degradation increased as the irradiation dose increased.

Effect of 2 MeV electron beam at the current density 0.09 nA/cm2 on surface structure, nanocrystallite size of (ZrTi)CN nanocomposite coating on steel was investigated at Scanning Electron and Atomic Force microscopes, and also X-ray diffractometer. Using the Rietveld method, two structure phases were indentified in the pristine samples: (ZrTi)(CN)-cubic (space group Fm-3m) and TiC — trigonal (sp.gr.R-3m). Electron beam irradiation to the fluency of [Formula: see text] electron/cm2 resulted in the phase transition of TiC from trigonal (sp.gr.R-3m) to cubic structure (sp.gr.Fm-3m). Besides, nanocrystallite size and shape have changed after the fluency [Formula: see text] electron/cm2. The lattice parameters have increased up to [Formula: see text] electron/cm2 fluence and the nanorcrystallite size of nanocomposite was enlarged 26%, which was attributed to generation of defects.

The objective of this study was to characterize the performance of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) to assess its use as a potential bioethanol or biofuels through pretreatment process. The pretreatment process was performed to remove crystalline structural of biomasses in order to improve enzymatic hydrolysis process. In this work, combined electron beam irradiation and ionic liquid method was used as the pretreatment process for various LCBs such as Gigantochloa albociliata (GA), Leucaena leucocephala (LL), oil palm frond (OPF), acacia and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) as reference. Irradiation dose was measured through electron beam accelerator over a range of 100-1000 kGy. Ionic liquid (IL) is known as green solvent that can dissolve cellulose. 50% v/v 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EMIMAc) IL was employed to enhance the effect of irradiation in pretreatment process. The LCBs was analyzed by using two method; Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). FTIR result shows different pattern of spectra and peak for each condition. Lateral order index (LOI) based on Beer’s Law was also calculated to determine the changes in structure order after pretretament. For XRD results, the crystallinity index (CrI) of pretreated LCBs was calculated by using Segal’s Equation in order to determine the pattern based on different conditions. The highest percentage of effectiveness showed by pretreated Acacia as the values of LOI and CrI is the lowest compared to other LCBs which is 41.77% and 25.21%, respectively.

The surface of 3Cr13 martensitic stainless steel was irradiated by high current pulsed electron beam (HCPEB). The microstructures of the irradiation surface were characterized by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. After HCPEB irradiation, formation of a melting layer with depth of about 4 μm on the irradiated surface was determined. Further microstructural investigations indicate that the surface melted layer consists of nanoaustenite and ultrafine carbide particles, which primarily appear at grain boundary triple junction. Additionally, the microhardness and corrosion resistance of the irradiated surfaces was improved significantly. The formation of the nanoaustenite layer induced by HCPEB irradiation was believed to be the dominating reasons for the improvement of comprehensive performance of the material surface.
