The Mg-Zr alloys with the Zr contents of 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6% and 0.8% were prepared using induction melting, metal mold centrifugal casting process. The microstructures of the alloys were analyzed by scanning electron microscope, energy spectrum analysis, transmission electron microscope and their mechanical properties were also measured with tensile test. The results show that there are many micro- and nano-sized Zr-rich or Zr particles dispersed in Mg-Zr alloys. The nano-sized Zr-rich particle consists of a rectangle shaped Zr core and its surrounding Mg (Zr) solid solution shell with round exterior; a single Zr particle appears a coherent lattice relationship with matrix.

Carbon nanotube-rayon composite filaments was fabricated by spinning and coagulation of the mixture of 100mL functionalized carbon nanotube dispersion (containing 0.72 g FCNT) and cellulose xanthate in NaOH solution using viscose process. In the process, CNT was functionalized using mixture of acidic solution ( H2SO4/HNO3, 3:1 v/v). Influence of functionalized (FCNT) and non-functionalized carbon nanotubes (nFCNT) on the fabrication of rayon nanocomposite filament was studied. Physical and morphological properties of the nanocomposite filaments were characterized by single filament tenacity tester, photo micrograph, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Filterability and mechanical properties of FCNT-rayon nanocomposite filament greatly improved by reducing clogging constant from 1689 to 153 and increasing tenacity from 2.72 to 3.01 g/denier and decreasing elongation from 57.1 to 36.5% respectively compared with those of nFCNT-rayon nanocomposite filament.Keywords: functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes, nanocomposite filament, mechanical properties, filterability, dispersion  ABSTRAKRayon nanocomposite filaments telah dibuat melalui proses pemilinan (spinning) dan koagulasi (coagulation) dari campuran 100 mL larutan functionalized carbon nanotube dispersion (FCNT=0,72 g), selulosa santat dalam larutan NaOH melalui proses viskosa.

In a previous study of impurity gettering in Si it was found that Au-containing precipitates were formed at the surfaces of wafers which had been equilibrated with Au at 1200°C and then subjected to B diffusion at 1000°C. The work reported in summary here relates to the characterization of the precipitates and to the construction of a model for their growth. This investigation involved the use of both the transmission electron microscope (TEM) and the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Full details will be reported elsewhere.

The influences of electric current on the microstructures and mechanical properties of 6061 aluminum alloy were investigated by electric conductivity measurement, tensile test, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. When applying electric current both at solid solution and ageing treatment, the alloy has the highest peak strength, and the time to peak strength shortens by 12h. The electric current applying during either solid solution or ageing, increases the density and size of β'' phase.

LF16 aluminum alloy and Q235 steel were brazed by Zn-Al solder and the Al-Si-Cu solder. Metallographic microscope and scanning electron microscope were used to observe the microstructure of weld joint. The result shows that the strength of the joints, which were welded with Zn-Al solder reached 133.6Mpa. Zn-rich solid solution phase and Al-rich solid solution phase existed in Zn-based solder brazing seam. The Fe element trend was gradual changed, while Al element trended more gently, and generated Fe2Al5 intermetallic compounds in the joints in both the brazing joint of Zn-based and Al-based solder.

The effect of doping different content of Mn into ammonium paratungstate (APT) on the production of tungsten products was studied systematically. The calcination of APT, reduction of WO3 and carbonization of W were studied in sequence.The phase composition, powder morphology, existence form and distribution of Mn were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope, respectively. The results showed that Mn converted from MnCl2 to Mn2+WO4 during reduction process. And then Mn2+WO4 converted to Mn5C2 in the process of carbonization. Besides, Mn finally existed as the form of (Mn, W) C solid solution and Mn5C2. The distribution of Mn was always in the low contrast areas.

The mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP) could be strengthened after PP was filled with nano- Al2O3. Tests of mechanical properties and analyses of scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) showed that the crystallinity of PP/nano- Al2O3 (3wt%) was improved 9.5% compared with PP’s, the tensile strength was enhanced 10.7 % and the notched impact strength was intensified 21%, the comprehensive property of nano-composites was by far the best .

When the transmission electron microscope was commercially introduced a few years ago, it was heralded as one of the most significant aids to medical research of the century. It continues to occupy that niche; however, the scanning electron microscope is gaining rapidly in relative importance as it fills the gap between conventional optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy.IBM Boulder is conducting three major programs in cooperation with the Colorado School of Medicine. These are the study of the mechanism of failure of the prosthetic heart valve, the study of the ultrastructure of lung tissue, and the definition of the function of the cilia of the ventricular ependyma of the brain.

In the observation of a thick specimen by means of a transmission electron microscope, the intensity of electrons passing through the objective lens aperture is greatly reduced. So that the image is almost invisible. In addition to this fact, it have been reported that a chromatic aberration causes the deterioration of the image contrast rather than that of the resolution. The scanning electron microscope is, however, capable of electrically amplifying the signal of the decreasing intensity, and also free from a chromatic aberration so that the deterioration of the image contrast due to the aberration can be prevented. The electrical improvement of the image quality can be carried out by using the fascionating features of the SEM, that is, the amplification of a weak in-put signal forming the image and the descriminating action of the heigh level signal of the background. This paper reports some of the experimental results about the thickness dependence of the observability and quality of the image in the case of the transmission SEM.

The resolution of a conventional transmission electron microscope (TEM) deteriorates as the specimen thickness increases, because chromatic aberration of the objective lens is caused by the energy loss of electrons). In the case of a scanning electron microscope (SEM), chromatic aberration does not exist as the restrictive factor for the resolution of the transmitted electron image, for the SEM has no imageforming lens. It is not sure, however, that the equal resolution to the probe diameter can be obtained in the case of a thick specimen. To study the relation between the specimen thickness and the resolution of the trans-mitted electron image obtained by the SEM, the following experiment was carried out.

In spite of various attempts, conclusive evidence to explain blood passage in the splenic red pulp does not seem to have been presented. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations on the rabbit spleen, originally performed by us, revealed that the sinus was lined by a perforated lattice composed of longitudinally extended rod cells and transverse cytoplasmic processes, and that perforations in the lattice were continuous to the spaces among the stellate reticulum cells of the cord. In the present study the observation was extended to the dog and rat spleens, in which the cord is more developed than in the rabbit in order to clarify the possible differences in the fine structure of the sinus wall. An attempt was also made to examine the development and distribution of macrophage in the blood passage of the red pulp.Spleens were washed and fixed by perfusion with Ringer solution and then with buffered glutaraldehyde. Small tissue cubes were dehydrated with acetone, dried in air and heated with gold. Observations were made by a JEOL SEM Type-3. One air dried tissue cube was cut into small pieces and post fixed with buffered OsO4 for examination under the transmission electron microscope (TEM).
