Based on analyzing of chemical composition, mineral composition and thermal stability of red mud, preparation of ceramisite, using anthracite added as foaming agent, was investigated. Internal structure was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed the bulk density of ceramisite was obviously reduced by anthracite added. The ceramisite with bulk density of 1.30g/cm3, water absorption rate£ ̈WAR£©of 2.98% and cylinder compressive strength £ ̈CCS£©of 9.48 MPa was obtained when weight ratio of red mud/waste glass/bentonites/anthracite was at 73:15:11:1. Majority of porosity in ceramisite was closed based on SEM. The porosity of ceramisite was much higher when anthracite was added as foaming agent than only calcite in red mud was used as foaming agent. The bulk density of the former was lower than that of the latter.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber is a very versatile fiber that can be produced with different properties, such as antimicrobial activity. This study aims to synthesize antimicrobial PET filaments incorporated with silver nanoparticles immobilized in silica (NPAg-Si) by bulk additive method. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) characterized the obtained filaments at concentrations (w/w) of 0.008%, 0.016%, 0.032%, 0.047% and 0.063% NPAg-Si, in order to identify the nanoparticles and analyze their dispersion in the polymeric matrix. Moreover, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was carry out to confirm the presence and concentration of the silver nanoparticles in the filaments as well as the thermal stability of the nanocomposites. The bulk addition method was efficient to produce PET-Silver filaments with silver nanoparticles homogeneously dispersed in the PET matrix.

Scandia, yttria doped zirconia ((ZrO2)0.96(REO1.5)0.04(RE=Sc3+, Y3+)) nanoparticles were prepared by the modified sol-gel method. The microstructure of the products was characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Raman spectroscopy. Thermal stabillity of SYSZ nanocrystals were also investigated. The SYSZ nanocrystals synthesized with EGM:Zr+4mole ratio 4:1, calcined at 700°C, have average diameter of ~20 nm.

Red mud lightweight baking-free brick was prepared by red mud, fly ash and cement, mixed with a certain amount of activator agent and foaming agent. The influence of foaming agent on properties of red mud lightweight baking-free brick was studied. The micro-structure of red mud lightweight baking-free brick was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that when the foaming agent content is 10ml, the sample with better performance obtained and the density is 423kg/m3, flexural strength is 0.49MPa and compressive strength is 1.87MPa.

New types of conducting composites using andalusite as an inorganic substrate and polyaniline as the conducting phase were prepared. The composites exhibited conductivities in the 0.14-2.08 S/cm range, depending on the amount of polyaniline. The thermal stability of andalusite/polyaniline composites were studied by thermogravimetric analysis. The resulting composites were also characterized by using FTIR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy.

Polyaniline(PANI) nanofibers were firstly prepared by rapid mixture method, EP/PANI nanocomposite was obtained by in-situ adding the PANI nanofibers to epoxy resin(EP). Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) proves that the type of doped acids has a little effect on the morphologies of PANI, and the PANI doped by different acids present nanofiber structures with the diameter of about 50 nm. The thermal behaviour of EP/PANI nanocomposites were investigated in detail by using a dynamic rate mode of thermogravimetric analyser (TGA) in inert atmosphere, and the results show that the PANI nanofibers obviously improve thermal stability of pure EP. Compared with EP/PANI doped by nitric acid or sulfuric acid, EP/PANI doped by phosphoric acid has best thermal stability.

Abstract A chitosan (CS)–HgS nanocomposite was synthesized by a simulating biomineralization method. The effect of HgS nanoparticles on the physical properties of the composite was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the composite was 22°C higher than that of CS. The thermal stability of the composite was higher than that of CS, which was evidenced by the shift of onset temperature of degradation by 22°C as measured by DSC. The SEM image of the HgS/CS nanocomposite film shows that the nanoparticle size was 100 nm. The fluorescence emission of nanocomposite films was found to be very sensitive to the presence of triethylamine; even a small amount of triethylamine dramatically increased emissions. By contrast, emission was hardly affected by other common ions in water. The films are predicted to have the potential to be developed into excellent sensing films for triethylamine.

Thermal stability of the layered titanates NdMTiO4 and Nd2M2Ti3O10 (M=Na, K) featured with 1 or 3 perovskite layers has been investigated in thermal annealing at 780 – 1400°С. Their structure variations are monitored using thermal analysis (TGA, DTA), X-ray powder diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. Judging from the decomposition sequence and the stable temperature range for individual phase, the structure of Nd2M2Ti3O10 with three perovskite layers is identified most stable among these layer titanates. As a whole, the K-containing phases are less stable than the Na-containing ones.

AbstractThe effect of a small amount of Pt (5 at.%) on the thermal stability of NiSi film on (100)Si and (111 )Si has been investigated. Rutherford back scattering, Scanning Electron Microscopy, and X-ray diffraction have been used to study the formation, microstructure and orientation of the silicide. The addition of platinum results in increasing the disilicide nucleation temperature to 900°C and thus leads to a better stability of NiSi at high IC processing temperatures. The presence of Pt also induced a texture of the NiSi film both on (11 1)Si and (100)Si. The increase in thermal stability is explained in terms of nucleation controlled reaction concept and should open new possibilities for the use of NiSi in self aligned silicidation. The redistribution of Pt in the silicide is examined and explained in terms of kinetics and thermodynamics considerations. The addition of Pt also increases the temperature of agglomeration of NiSi.

The thermal stability of constituent particles in both as-rolled and solution treated in AA7A55 has been investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Three types of solution treatments were used to dissolve particles constituents. Whereas the degree of recrystallization aggravates which deteriorates the properties with increasing the solution temperature, a significant amount of recrystallization exists after utilizing 480°C solution treatment whereas a much smaller extent from 480°C to 490°C. And electrochemical and exfoliation corrosion matched with the degree of recrystallization. With increasing the recrystallization the corrosion become worse.
