A new type compatibilizer-boric acid ester with carboxylic acid functional groups (refered as B) was synthesized and used in PPO/PA66 alloys. The PPO/PA66 alloys were produced by melting blending. The micromorphological and mechanical properties of PPO/PA66 blends with different contents of the compatibilizer were studied by transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and mechanical test. The effects of the compatibilizer B on the mechanical property and morphology of PPO/PA alloy were discussed. The results showed that, the compatibilizer B can also improve the mechanical property, besides showing good effect on the compatibility improvement for PPO/PA blends; it (B) acts as a compatibilizer for the blends by forming interim layer with dispersed phase PPO and continuous phase PA. The compatibilization of PPO and PA66 alloy was due to the chemical reaction between carboxyl group and amine group.

Recent advances in the automatic indexing of backscatter Kikuchi diffraction patterns on the scanning electron microscope (SEM) has resulted in the development of a new type of microscopy. The ability to obtain statistically relevant information on the spatial distribution of crystallite orientations is giving rise to new insight into polycrystalline microstructures and their relation to materials properties. A limitation of the technique in the SEM is that the spatial resolution of the measurement is restricted by the relatively large size of the electron beam in relation to various microstructural features. Typically the spatial resolution in the SEM is limited to about half a micron or greater. Heavily worked structures exhibit microstructural features much finer than this and require resolution on the order of nanometers for accurate characterization. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) techniques offer sufficient resolution to investigate heavily worked crystalline materials.Crystal lattice orientation determination from Kikuchi diffraction patterns in the TEM (Figure 1) requires knowledge of the relative positions of at least three non-parallel Kikuchi line pairs in relation to the crystallite and the electron beam.

ZrN/TiN multi-layers were synthesized by ion beam sputtering technique. Microstructure and mechanical property of the ZrN/TiN multi-layers were characterized and the relationships between microstructure and hardness of the ZrN/TiN multi-layers with various bilayer thicknesses and thickness ratios were investigated. The microstructure of multi-layers have been investigated using transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Fullerenes have many families such as simple ball-shaped fullerenes, nanotubes, and onions. Additionally torus, Y-shaped particle, and graphitic network with periodic holes or dimples have been theoretically anticipated. The presence of various shapes in fullerenes is mainly attributed to the combination of five-membered and seven-membered rings in addition to six-membered rings composing ordinary graphite crystal. The five-membered rings are necessary for positive curvature of the fullerenes, while the seven-membered rings for negative curvature. Experimentally, the negative curvature has been restricted so far to the joint between cone and tube in nanotubes and the spiral tubes. We have found a new type of multishell fullerenes with negative curvature which consist of three horns protrude into three-fold symmetric directions, referred as three-horned multishell fullerene (THF) in this report, using a high resolution transmission electron microscope (TEM). Here, we first describe the formation briefly and secondly concerned with procedure to determine the structure of the THF.

AbstractPolyimide composites have been extensively used as motion components under extreme conditions for their thermal stability and special self-lubricating performance. In the present study, Ag-Mo hybrids as lubricant fillers were incorporated into thermosetting polyimide to prepare a new type of tribo-materials (TPI-1) at high temperature. Comprehensive investigations at different temperatures reveal that the newly developed TPI-1 exhibits a better reduction in friction and wear rate below 100 °C, but all of them increase significantly when the bulk temperature exceeds 250 °C. The wear mechanisms demonstrated that sandwich-like tribofilms with different layers were established at different temperatures, which was further verified by characterization of scanning electron microscope (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Considering the high-performance TPI coupled with Ag-Mo hybrids, we anticipate that further exploration would provide guidance for designing TPI tribo-materials that would be used at high temperatures.

In this work, nickel glycolate polymer microtubes (NGPMs) were prepared via a facile solvothermal method using hydrous nickel nitrate and anhydrous sodium acetate as starting materials, and ethylene glycol as solvent. Furthermore, nickel oxide (NiO) microtubes were obtained by a high-temperature treatment of NGPMs in air atmosphere. The morphology and phase of the products were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The results show that NGPMs are of hierarchical structure, which are composed of a lot of nanolamellas. The morphology of NiO microtubes directly derived from that of NGPMs. In addition, the experiments were conducted with atomic absorption spectrometer for adsorption of Cr2O72- in ultrapure water using these microtubes obtained as absorbers. The results reveal that NGPMs obviously possess a better ability of chromium absorption with a maximum absorbing value of 14.6 mg/g at pH of 4 than NiO microtubes. Thus, the as-prepared of NGPMs may be promising as a new type of absorber for heavy metal ion for water treatment.

AbstractThe scanning electron microscope (SEM) has been reassembled into a new type of cryo-electron microscope (cryo-TSEM) by installing a new cryo-transfer holder and anti-contamination trap, which allowed simultaneous acquisition of both transmission images (STEM images) and surface images (SEM images) in the frozen state. The ultimate temperatures of the holder and the trap reached − 190 °C and − 210 °C, respectively, by applying a liquid nitrogen slush. The STEM images at 30 kV were comparable to, or superior to, the images acquired with conventional transmission electron microscope (100 kV TEM) in contrast and sharpness. The unroofing method was used to observe membrane cytoskeletons instead of the frozen section and the FIB methods. Deep sublimation of ice surrounding unroofed cells by regulating temperature enabled to emerge intracellular fine structures in thick frozen cells. Hence, fine structures in the vicinity of the cell membrane such as the cytoskeleton, polyribosome chains and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) became visible. The ER was distributed as a wide, flat structure beneath the cell membrane, forming a large spatial network with tubular ER.

Different cooling parameters, including the initial cooling temperature, finishing cooling temperature and cooling rate, have a significant effect on the final microstructures and properties for pipeline steels. In present work, Gleeble-1500 thermal-mechanical simulator was used to investigate the microstructural evolution of X70 pipeline steels under different cooling conditions, and the microstructures obtained were analyzed using optical microscope and transmission electron microscope. The experimental results showed that when the initial and finishing cooling temperatures are controlled in the range of 740~760°C and 500~520°C respectively, the microstructure of X70 pipeline steels reveals a proper content (about 12%) of pre-eutectoid ferrite besides acicular ferrite and M/A (Martensite/Austenite) island, which can guarantee an optimum combination of strength and ductility. In contrast to the conventional way using CCT curve, this methodology shows a higher accuracy and operability, and used in industrial production to achieve good effect.

A new type of water-based lubrication additive — colloidal polystyrene-carbon nanotubes (PSt-CNTs) has been prepared. Transmission electron microscope shows that the PSt-CNT colloids are tubes with tiny balls in nanometer scale. Four-ball test results indicate that both the load-carrying capacity and anti-wear of the colloidal PSt-CNTs are much superior to those colloidal PSt owing to the additive reinforced by CNTs. The optimum colloidal PSt-CNT content is 1.0 wt.%. The worn surfaces were analyzed using scanning electron microscope. Finally its lubrication mechanism was speculated preliminarily.
