PMMA/MMT nanocomposites has been prepared by using methyl methacrylate (MMA), montmorillonite (MMT) and ethanolamine as the raw materials via an in-situ free radical polymerization process. The as-prepared nanocomposites were characterized by Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results show that the poly(methyl methacrylate) and inorganic montmorillonite have been effectively combined. The structure and thermal stability of the as-prepared nanocomposites are different from the content of MMT in the nanacomposites.

The reaction of the bulk glass forming alloy Zr41Ti14Cu12Ni10Be23 (Vit 1) with W, Ta, Mo, AlN, Al2O3, Si, graphite, and amorphous carbon was investigated. Vit 1 samples were melted and subsequently solidified after different processing times on discs of the different materials. Sessile drop examinations of the macroscopic wetting of Vit 1 on the discs as a function of temperature were carried out in situ with a digital optical camera. The reactions at the interfaces between the Vit 1 sample and the different disc materials were investigated with an electron microprobe. The structure and thermal stability of the processed Vit 1 samples were examined by x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. The results are discussed in terms of possible applications for composite materials.

In this paper, the diphenyl methane diisocyanate (MDI) was used to modify montmorillonoid (MMT) and got the organic montmorillonite (OMMT), which was used with the monomers of PET by in situ polymerization method to prepare PET/MMT nanocomposition. The OMMT was analyzed by the X ray diffraction (XRD) to test the change of the spacing layer. Dispersion of MMT in the PET/MMT nanocomposites were studied with XRD and SEM and by means of thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) on the thermal stability of PET/MMT nanocomposites. The results showed that, MDI modified MMT successfully, and the compatibility of MMT and PET was increased .

ZnO is an important functional semiconductor in application of photoelectric devices. ZnO nano-tubes and the CuO-doped ZnO have been successfully fabricated via hydrothermal method and a solution routine. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy and room temperature photoluminescence measurement. The results show that the lattice space (d-value) of the CuO-doped ZnO increases while introducing CuO into its structure. Due to the interaction between Cu2+ and the surface atoms of ZnO, a photoluminescence confinement were observed in the CuO-doped ZnO compared with that of nano ZnO.

Abstract A series of intercalated nanocomposites were prepared via in situ polymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) between the interlayer spacing of hydrous Na-montmorillonite (Na-MMT) using benzoyl peroxide (Bz2O2) as a radical initiator. X-ray diffraction patterns showed the absence of any intercalation up to 61.7 mass% of HEMA, but anhydrous Na-MMT formed by the hydrophilic effect of HEMA. The interlayer spacing (d001) values of hydrous and anhydrous Na-MMT were calculated as 1.19 and 1.03 nm, respectively. At higher monomer contents, the increase in the value of d001 from 1.19 to 2.01 nm indicated intercalation of polymer in the interlayer spacing of Na-MMT. Besides, transmission electron microscopy results supported the formation of the intercalated nanocomposites. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the thermal stability of the nanocomposites increased considerably by intercalation of pure poly-HEMA. Specific surface area and specific nanopore volume of the nanocomposites decreased with the increasing of the monomer content taken by the preparations. The decrease is due to the nonporous nature of the polymer matrix.

Studies of the nature of a surface, either metallic or nonmetallic, in the past, have been limited to the instrumentation available for these measurements. In the past, optical microscopy, replica transmission electron microscopy, electron or X-ray diffraction and optical or X-ray spectroscopy have provided the means of surface characterization. Actually, some of these techniques are not purely surface; the depth of penetration may be a few thousands of an inch. Within the last five years, instrumentation has been made available which now makes it practical for use to study the outer few 100A of layers and characterize it completely from a chemical, physical, and crystallographic standpoint. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) provides a means of viewing the surface of a material in situ to magnifications as high as 250,000X.

The PANI/ITO conducting nanocomposites have been synthesized by in-situ polymerization. The obtained nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared. Electrical conductivity measurements on the samples pressed into pellets showed that the maximum conductivity attained 2.0 ± 0.05 S/cm for PANI/ITO nanocomposites, at ITO doping concentration of 10 wt%. The results of the present work may provide a simple, rapid and efficient approach for preparing PANI/ITO nanocomposites.

The application of X-rays to the structural characterization of surfaces and interfaces, in situ and in UHV, is discussed on selected examples. Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction is not only a very powerful technique for quantitatively investigating the atomic structure of surfaces and interfaces, but is also very useful for providing information on the interfacial registry for coherent interfaces or on the strain deformation, island and grain sizes for incoherent epilayers.
