Poly（phenylene-sulfide）/ Poly（ether-sulfone） polymer composites (coded as PPS/PES) reinforced by Potassium Titanate Whisker(PTW) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) were prepared by compression molding. The effect of the filler on the mechanical and tribological properties of the PPS/PES composites was investigated, based on the evaluation of the composites’ properties and examination of the worn surfaces by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results showed that the incorporation of the PTW contributed to greatly increase the impact strength，tensile strength，and bending strength of the composites, and apparently improve its tribological performance. The composite had a best synthetical performance when the PTW content was about 20wt. %. The wear mechanism of the composites，which could be closely related to the content of PTW, gradually changed from adhesive wear to particle abrasion with the addition of PTW.

Different contents of carbon fiber were employed as reinforcement for Polyoxymethylene (POM) composite. All filled and unfilled POM composites were tested against CGr15 ball and representative testing was performed. The effects of carbon fiber content on tribological properties of the POM composites were investigated. The worn surface morphologies of pure POM and its composites were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the wear mechanisms were discussed. Results show that all filled polyimides have superior tribological characteristics to unfilled ones. The optimum wear reduction was obtained when the content of carbon fiber is 15vol%.

The main purpose of this work is to study how the morphology of nanofillers and dispersion and distribution level of inorganic nanofiller influence the impact behavior and fracture probability of inorganic filler filled industrial high-density polyethylene nanocomposites. For this study, nanoclay and nano-CaCO3 fillers–high-density polyethylene mixings (0, 1, 3, 5 wt.% high-density polyethylene) was prepared by melt-mixing method using a compounder system. The impact behavior was examined by charpy impact test, scanning electron microscopy, and probability theory and statistics. The level of the dispersion was characterized with scanning electron microscopy energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis. The results showed rather good dispersion of both of inorganic nanofiller, with a mixture of exfoliated and confined morphology. The results indicated that the impact strength of the industrial nanocomposite decreased with the increase of inorganic particulate content. The impact reliability of the industrial nanocomposites depends on the type of nanofillers and their dispersion and distribution in the matrix.

A polyurethane/clay (PU/clay) composite was synthesized. The microstructure of the composite was examined by scanning electron microscopy. The impact properties of the composite were characterized by impact testing. The study on the structure of the composite showed that clays could be dispersed in the polymer matrix well apart from a few of clusters. The results from mechanical analysis indicated that the impact properties of the composite were increased greatly in comparison with pure polyurethane. The investigation on the mechanical properties showed that the impact strength could be obviously increased by adding 20 wt% (by weight) clay to the matrix.

The main objective of this study was to develop an efficient coating to increase the wear resistance of cold work die steel at different temperatures. The microstructures of high-velocity oxygen-fuel (HVOF)-sprayed WC-CoCr coatings were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The effect of temperature on the tribological properties of the coatings and the reference Cr12MoV cold work die steel were both investigated by SEM, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and a pin-on-disk high-temperature tribometer. The coating exhibited a significantly lower wear rate and superior resistance against sliding wear as compared to the die steel at each test temperature, whereas no major differences in terms of the variation tendency of the friction coefficient as a function of temperature were observed in both the coatings and the die steels. These can be attributed to the presence of nanocrystalline grains and the fcc-Co phase in the coating. Moreover, the wear mechanisms of the coatings and the die steels were compared and discussed. The coating presented herein provided a competitive approach to improve the sliding wear performance of cold work die steel.

In this paper, novel rigid polyurethane foams modified with Baltic Sea biomass were compared with traditional petro-based polyurethane foam as reference sample. A special attention was focused on complex studies of microstructure, which was visualized and measured in 3D with high-resolution microcomputed tomography (microCT) and, as commonly applied for this purpose, scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The impact of pore volume, area, shape and orientation on appearance density and thermal insulation properties of polyurethane foams was determined. The results presented in the paper confirm that microcomputed tomography is a useful tool for relatively quick estimation of polyurethane foams’ microstructure, what is crucial especially in the case of thermal insulation materials.

Protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) ofBrassidiumShooting Star orchid were successfully cryopreserved using droplet-vitrification method. Vitrification based cryopreservation protocol is comprised of preculture, osmoprotection, cryoprotection, cooling, rewarming, and growth recovery and each and every step contributes to the achievement of successful cryopreservation. In order to reveal the lethal and nonlethal damage produced by cryopreservation, histological observation, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and biochemical analysis were carried out in both cryopreserved and noncryopreserved PLBs ofBrassidiumShooting Star orchid comparing with the control PLBs stock culture. Histological and scanning electron microscopy analyses displayed structural changes in cryopreserved PLBs due to the impact of cryoinjury during exposure to liquid nitrogen. Total soluble protein significantly increased throughout the dehydration process and the highest value was achieved when PLBs were stored in liquid nitrogen. Ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and catalase (CAT) showed the highest enzyme activities in both dehydration and cryostorage treatments indicating that stress level of PLBs was high during these stages.

The melting mixing was applied in the preparation of Multiwalled carbon nanotubes/Polycarbonate (MWCNTs/PC) nanocomposites. MWCNTs/PC nanocomposites with different MWCNTs contents were prepared under different injection conditions. The mechanical property of nanocomposites was comparatively investigated. The results demonstrated that: the tensile property of the nanocomposites was slightly improved by MWCNTs content increasing; but as the MWCNTs contents went on to increase to 10wt%, the tensile strength and bending strength were obviously decreased about 35% and 47%, respectively, but the impact strength and hardness were increased. The center hardness of MWCNTs/PC nanocomposites was greater than the surface hardness. Besides, the changes on the mechanical properties of the nanocomposites were studies by changing the injection conditions. By Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) observation, the microstructure and morphology of nanocomposites were analyzed, revealing that the center of the nanocomposite distributed more MWNTs, and the injection conditions would affect the MWNTs’ dispersion in the matrix and the interfacial interaction between MWCNTs and PC.

Oleic acid-modified CuS nanoparticles were chemically synthesized. The tribological properties of surface modified and unmodified CuS nanoparticles as additives in the hybrid polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)/Kevlar fabric/phenolic composite were investigated in detail. The experimental results indicated that the incorporation of modified CuS nanoparticles improved the antiwear ability of the fabric/phenolic composite at varied loads and environmental temperatures. The reasons for the enhanced wear properties of the fabric/phenolic composite filled with surface-modified CuS nanoparticles were discussed based on the results of scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
