The Cu-30wt%Ag alloy nanopowders are prepared by induction plasma technology, and the nanopowder is successfully coated by terpineol (C10H18O). The morphology, phase composition and oxidation resistance of nanopowders are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. When the suitable processing parameters of induction plasma are chosen, the spherical morphology and average diameter about 89 nm of Cu-30wt%Ag nanopowders are obtained. Meanwhile, the Cu-Ag alloy nanopowders which are coated by terpineol are free from oxidation when temperature is below 280°C.

Future more, the growth mechanism of AlN nanowire synthesis with addictive were analyzed. AlN nanowire were synthesis by he AlCl3 and NaN3 in stainless steel cauldron without solvent and using Mg and Zn as additive. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to study characters of the AlN nanowire. It is shown that the process can produce AlN nanowire with mean diameters ranging from 50 to 100 nm at 450°C. The additive has effective facilitated on the synthesis of aluminum nitride nanowires, can improve the properties of aluminum nitride nanowire, minish the average diameter of aluminum nitride nanowires.

A series of Ti1-xAlxN coatings were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering. The content, microstructure and surface morphology of the coatings were characterized by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of Al content on the microstructure and the oxidation resistance was studied. It was found that Ti1-xAlxN compound coating exhibits a cubic structure with (1 1 1) preferred orientations. The oxidation resistance obviously improves with the increase of Al content.

ZrAlYN films were prepared by magnetron sputtering at various N2/Ar flow ratio. The structure, composition and thermal properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrum. The results show that the deposited ZrAlN and ZrAlYN films possessed a single NaCl-type solid solution phase. The ZrAlN film was (200) strongly predominated. The (111) peak was prominently increased in ZrAlYN films and thus the preferred orientation changed to (111) and (200) co-predomination. The crystallinity of ZrAlYN films was gradually degraded with enhanced N2/Ar flow ratio. Both ZrAlN and ZrAlYN films were exhibited a featureless fracture microstructure. The thickness of ZrAlYN films was consistently reduced due to more nitride produced on the surface of targets at higher N2/Ar flow ratio. The ZrAlYN films deposited at 1:5 N2/Ar flow ratio was proved to be the best oxidation resistance under annealing at 1000°C for 2h in air. As N2/Ar flow ratio increased, the oxidation resistance of films was inversely deteriorated due to the decreased yttrium content in films.

Electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) fibers containing silver nanoparticles were successfully prepared from PCL solutions added silver collide. The silver collide were obtained by N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) reducing silver nitrate (AgNO3). The effects of PCL concentration and the content of silver nanoparticles on composite fibers morphology were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The existence of Ag nanoparticles on the electrospun fibers was approved by X-Ray diffraction (XRD). Simultaneously, the contact angles of fiber membranes were measured. The results indicated that uniform fibers were obtained when PCL concentration was 9wt%, the average diameter of fiber was significantly decreased as increasing the amount of silver collide, and Ag nanoparticles were successfully incorporated into the PCL fibers.

Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by a thermal method. The CuO nanoparticles were further characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS), and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), respectively. The specific surface area (SSABET) of CuO nanoparticles was determined by nitrogen adsorption. TheSSABETwas found to be 99.67 m2/g (dBETof 9.5 nm). The average diameter of the spherical CuO nanoparticles was approximately 6–9 nm.

SiCp/Al composites were prepared by vacuum hot pressing and sintering method. Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) is applied to study the diffusion-homogenization process of various elements of powder, and the effect of the diffusion-homogenization temperature and holding time on the SiCp/Al Composites’ microstructure in state of vacuum hot pressing. The results show that the Enrichment of Cu-phase is existed in the composites organization which is in the state of vacuum hot pressing; Al2CuMg fully dissolve into the Al matrix, Cu fully diffused and the diffusion of various elements becomes homogeneous with the temperature increased and time extend. The best processing parameters for the diffusion-homogenization is at 500°Cfor 3h.

The ceramic fibers can be obtained from different techniques. Due to the technological development, searches are performed to improve the existing fibers. Thus, recent studies have enabled the development of an unprecedented synthesis route for the production of nanofibers, the Solution Blow Spinning (SBS). In this context, the present work proposes to develop silica nanofibers doped with silver by the SBS method, evaluating parameters such as: silver content and acidification of solutions. The fibers were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results of XRD showed that the samples with 4% silver that were not acidified showed the most defined and intense characteristic peaks. The SEM showed the formation of fibers with diameters in the nanometer range independent of acidification or not of the solutions, with reduction of the agglomerates in the samples with 2% silver.

ABSTRACTHigh quality, transparent diamond films with relatively large deposition areas have been obtained from oxyacetylene combustion flames at the atmospheric pressure using nozzle tilted at an angle φ) with respect to the Mo substrates. These films are studied using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy. Experimental results show that the surface morphology and microstructure depend strongly on the processing parameters such as the gas mixture ratio of acetylene to oxygen, substrate temperature, and the nozzle angle φ. The uniformity of diamond films have been improved using this tilted combustion flame technique and some problems related with this approach are discussed.

The effects of Cr and Al on high temperature oxidation resistance of Nb-Si system intermetallics have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and weight gain method. The results showed that the high temperature oxidation resistance can be substantially improved by proper Cr or Al addition. The further analysis revealed that Cr promotes the formation of CrNbO4 in scale and improve the adherence between the oxide scale and the substrate. It also found that Al improves the surface morphology of oxide scale and changes oxidation products by promoting the AlNbO4 formation.
