Corundum structurealumina (α-Al2O3) powders were prepared via a non-hydrolytic sol-gel (NHSG) method using aluminum as raw material, ethanol as solvent, and iodine as catalyst. X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermo gravimetric analysis (TG) were used to characterize the crystal phase of the products, while scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were employed to analyze the morphology. The results indicated that γ-Al2O3 was completely changed to α-Al2O3 at 1100 o C with a bit of aggregation. When 3 wt.% polyethylene glycol 600 (PEG 600) was introduced on the NHSG process, the dispersion was improved and the particle size decreased to100 nm.

In the present paper, nanosized La0.9Sr0.1MnO3 particles were synthesized via a facile modified sol-gel route using two cheap and environmentally friendly organic chemicals, namely sucrose and pectin. The obtained powders were characterized by thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and magnetic measurements. The optimal temperature for obtaining nanosized particles was determined as 1000�C and 1h dwell time was enough to obtain crystalline nanoparticles. Magnetic properties of samples calcined with different calcination period were analyzed and both samples shown a transition temperature around 274 K.

Towards the utilization of Cu2O nanomaterial for the degradation of industrial dye pollutants such as methylene blue and methyl orange, the graphene-incorporated Cu2O nanocomposites (GCC) were developed via a precipitation method. Using Hummers method, the grapheme oxide (GO) was initially synthesized. The varying weight percentages (1–4 wt %) of GO was incorporated along with the precipitation of Cu2O catalyst. Various characterization techniques such as Fourier-transform infra-red (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–visible diffused reflectance (UV-DRS), Raman spectroscopy, thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and electro chemical impedance (EIS) were followed for characterization. The cabbage-like morphology of the developed Cu2O and its composites were ascertained from field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). In addition, the growth mechanism was also proposed. The results infer that 2 wt % GO-incorporated Cu2O composites shows the highest value of degradation efficiency (97.9% and 96.1%) for MB and MO at 160 and 220 min, respectively. Further, its catalytic performance over visible region (red shift) was also enhanced to an appreciable extent, when compared with that of other samples.

In this study, a novel magnetic polyacrylamide (PAM) coagulant based on the core of magnetite (Fe3O4), with oleic acid serving as modifier and acrylamide as monomer, was synthesized to remove suspended solids in kaolin-suspended water. The composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermo gravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The results demonstrated that 82.8% of turbidity removal rate was obtained in 5 min of static settling in simulated kaolin-suspended water. This proved to be superior to that of PAM and poly aluminum chloride. Also confirmed in this study was the fact that zeta potential was significantly correlated with turbidity removal.

Polymers nanocomposites are composed by nanometrical particles embedded in a specific matrix. Additions of small amount of nanoparticles of inorganic material in specific matrixes can greatly improve mechanical properties. The high specific surface area of the inorganic materials nanoparticles promotes its dispersion in the polymeric matrix, and the obtained properties are strongly related to the homogeneity of the dispersion. In the present work, nylon 6.12 nanocomposites with different concentrations of pseudoboehmite obtained by sol-gel process were prepared with different concentrations of octadecylamine. The pseudoboehmite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, differential thermal analysis and thermo gravimetric analysis. The nanocomposites were characterized by thermal and mechanical tests. The addition of pseudoboehmite reduces the melting flow, evidencing the interaction of pseudoboehmite with the polymeric matrix probably modifying its crystalline structure.
