Graphite nanosheets were prepared by sonicating expanded graphite (EG) in a liquid medium. The products were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), and its anti-friction effect used as additive of base oil was investigated. The influencing factors of its anti-friction effect, the weight ratio of graphite nanosheets to base oil, the sonicating medium and sonicating time, were studied and optimized. The results show that under the optimum conditions the graphite nanosheets exhibit an excellent anti-friction effect.

Three graphite nanosheets were prepared by sonicating three expanded graphites that were formed by rapidly heating expandable graphite at 600, 800 and 1000 °C, respectively. The graphite nanosheets were characterized by scanning electron microscope. The anti-friction effects of the graphite nanosheets used as lubricating additives were investigated. The results show that the size of the graphite nanosheets decreases with increasing the temperature of expandable graphite. The graphite nanosheets have an obvious anti-friction effect, and the effect is related to the heating temperature.

Abstract The use of polymeric blended nanofibres is one of the recent applications in the food and liquid packaging. The current research aims to prepare the nanofibers coatings from the blend of polymeric materials via the electro spinning technique 0.08 weight ratio concentration of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) dissolved in water, as well as, (0.2 weight ratio concentration ) of poly vinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) were used to obtain different volume proportions of (PVA:PVP) solutions include (100:0, 80:20,70:30, 50:50, 20:80, and 0:100). The electro spinning system was organized with pumping conditions (20 kV for the applied voltage, 20 cm pumping distance, 1ml/hr pumping rate) and a needle diameter with 0.4mm diameter. The properties of the polymeric solutions involve (viscosity, surface tension, and electrical conductivity of the liquid) were examined. A scanning electron microscope technique was used to study the surface properties of the prepared films, and the contact angle via the contact angle analyzer was examined. The results of a scanning electron microscope proved that the diameter of the nano fibers increases with increasing the concentration and viscosity of solutions and decreasing its electrical conductivity. Also, the results of the contact angle analyzer showed an increase the hydrophilic property via increasing percentage of polyvinylpyrrolidone.

At refluence temperature, ferric chloride impregnated molecular sieves were prepared by impregnation of FeCl3 through ion-exchanging methods. The above catalysts were characterized by the means of SEM/EDS (scanning electron microscope/energy dispersion spectrometer) and BET. The catalytic properties on isopropylation of naphthalene and effect of reaction conditions were carried out with fixed-bed flow micro-reactor. We obtained the optimum conditions of this reaction. At this condition, the conversion of naphthalene reaches 44.1%, the yield of 2, 6-DIPN is 41.2% and the selectivity of β,β-DIPN is 85.2%.

In this article, composites with a polymeric basis were prepared and developed with a ZnFe2O3 material dyed with graphene that has the ability to absorb and attenuate by a weight ratio of (1-4) % of the base. The samples were formed by chemical blending and ultrasound technology to homogenize the mixture. The waveguide technique was used at the microwave frequencies in the range of 8- 12 kHz and within the X-band range - the results showed a significant improvement in the absorbance and attenuation by increasing the percentage of the deformed material compared to the blank material, and the best value was obtained at 3%. The compositional examinations of the Nano powder were performed using a scanning electron microscope technology equipped with an EDX scan.

A composite photocatalyst of needle ZnO nanorod grafted in the pores of expanded graphite (EG) was prepared by a process of hydrolysis method directly, in which the expanded graphite was prepared by microwave irradiation. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transformation infrared spectroscope (FT-IR) were used to characterize the structure and the chemical structure of the photocatalyst. The results indicate that expanded graphite had a unique net-like pores structure and ZnO Nanorod was loaded on EG to form EG/ZnO composite photocatalyst.

The ultrafine graphite particles was prepared and sphericized by stirred mill. By the conditional tests, the influences of the main operation parameters, such as ball-to-powder weight ratio, grinding concentration, dispersant dosage, agitator speed on grinding efficiencies of stirred mill were studied systematically .The reasons of the influence was analyzed. The study results offered suitable operation parameters for practical production. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) was employed to investigate the structure of the ore sample. The result showed the sphericity of product was improved than the raw material.

In this study, nanofibres consisting of silk fibroin (SF) and gelatin (GP) with different composition ratio were fabricated by needleless electrospinning method. The influences of SF/GP blending ratio on the properties of spinning solution and the morphology of electrospun fibres were investigated. A variety of compositions of the silk fibroin/gelatin blend solutions were successfully electrospun into nanofibres sheet. The morphology of electrospun fibre was characterized by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) which indicates that the morphology of obtained fibres was influenced by the weight ratio of gelatin to silk fibroin in the spinning solution. It was observed that the blending ratio of gelatin to silk fibroin in spinning solution played an important role in spinning performance of the process and the diameter of obtained fibres. An increasing in gelatin content in blended solution resulted in bigger diameter of the obtained electrospun fibres. The silk fibroin/gelatin electrospun fibres had diameters ranging from 200 to 660 nm.
