Kovdor (Karelia) deposite vermiculites modified by acid of different concentrations and chitosan were studied using positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy, measuring apparent density, dye adsorption, nitrogen adsorption by BET and porometry. It has been shown that after acidizing vermiculite density changes comparing to the samples’ density depending on the acid concentration. The density increases with the increasing acid concentration. Internal volume of the micropores and the value of maximum sorption of brilliant green change directly proportional to the density of the modified vermiculite.

Graphene oxide (GO) is conveniently prepared from expandable graphite using a simplified Hummers’ method. The product is thoroughly characterized by usual techniques (UV-vis, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopies, zeta potential, electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption) to confirm the success of synthesis. Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) is then used to extract information on the microenvironment in between the layers of graphene oxide.

Positron annihilation lifetime measurements on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) at low temperature were performed. Different discrete fitting procedures have been used to analyze the experimental data. It shows that the extracted parameters depend strongly on the fitting procedure. The physical meaning of the results is discussed. The blob model seems to give the best annihilation parameters.
