Natural diatomite was modified by manganese chloride via the low temperature hydrothermal route. The chemical properties and adsorption efficiency of the natural and the modified diatomite were characterized. The chemical compositions of the natural and the modified diatomite were determined by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDXS). Morphology of the natural and the modified diatomite was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The adsorptions of Cd (II) and Pb (II) ions onto the natural and the modified diatomite were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS).

Magnesium nitrate was used as additive for synthesis of Mg(OH)2 (MH) nanoparticles at low temperature (70°C). Mg(OH)2 nanoparticles have platelet-like structure and approximately 40-60nm in thicknesses. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were applied to characterize the crystal phase. The supersaturation degree of solution effects the size and morphology of MH nanoparticles.

Thin SiO2ZrO2films were prepared, up to 0.2 μm thick, by means of the sol–gel technology and characterized by a Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. It is shown the presence of monoclinic, cubic and tetragonal phases of ZrO2in the SiO2matrix. The crystallites sizes depend on the annealing temperature of the film and amount to 35 and 56 nm for the films annealed at 773 and 973 K, respectively. The films resistance is rather sensitive to the presence of NO2and O3impurity in air at lower operating temperatures in the range of 30-60°C.

Mg2+ doped LiFePO4 was synthesized from Li3PO4, FeSO4 and MgSO4 by a hydrothermal synthesis at 150 °C(Li1-xMgxPO4, x=0.00, 0.01,0.02,0.04,0.06). The samples were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and charge-discharge test. The results showed that Mg2+ dissolved in the LiFePO4 lattice. When the content is in the range of 0 to 6 mol%, Mg2+ caused the shrinkage of LiFePO4 cell volume. The capacity of doped and undoped samples at low discharging rate was similar, about 145mAhg-1 for 0.2C. But the sample doped with 2-4 mol% Mg2+ has higher capacity and longer cycle lifetime than the undoped one at 5C.

AbstractKnowledge of structure-properties relationship is a key factor in the development and improvement of new and existing metal alloys through manipulation in their chemical-compositions. In this study, the elastic properties and microstructure of cast Ni-Cr-Be and Ni-Cr dental alloys were studied. The elastic properties, i.e., Young's, shear and bulk moduli and Poisson's ratios, were determined using measurements on the ultrasonic velocities and densities. Both the shear and the longitudinal (dilatational) velocities were measured using an ultrasonic pulse-through-transmission method; density was measured using a buoyant force method. In microstructure, crystallinity, porosity, particle-size and quantitative elemental compositions were studied using x-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and wavelength dispersive spectrometry (WDS) respectively. These results show that: (1) the addition of Be increased significantly the alloy's elastic moduli and Poisson's ratio; and (2) the presence of Be in Ni-Cr alloy also significantly modified its microstructure by producing a second binary phase, Ni-Be, in eutectic areas.

Laser cladding experiment was carried out with a 5 kW continuous wave CO2 laser by preplacing Ni75Si25 and Ni78Si13Ti9 powders onto Ni-based superalloy substrate. The microstructure of the specimens was monitored by using optical and scanning electron microscopy. The chemical compositions of the alloys and their phases were obtained using X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. The phase transformation temperatures were determined by non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry tests. The microhardness of the laser cladded sample was measured.

In this present work, a new method for preparing NiO doped SnO2 nanoflowers by hydrothermal route is suggested. The composition and microstructure of samples were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR). Moreover, a possible formation mechanism was discussed.

This research studies compositions of diatomite, leonardite and pumice for utilization appropriate to the properties of materials. Chemical compositions of these materials were characterized by X–ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) and energy dispersive X–ray spectrometry (EDXS). The silica was major component of these materials. The morphology was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Diatomite was cylindrical in shape, leonardite was sheet or flake in shape and pumicewas prismatic in shape. The structure was studied by X–ray diffraction (XRD). It was found that the mineral composition of diatomite, leonardite and pumice showed cristobalite low, quartz and anorthite, respectively. The functional groups were identified by Fourier transform infraredspectrometry (FTIR). The functional group of siloxane was obtained and dominated vibration in these materials. And the vibration of carboxylic, alcoholic and carbonyl groups were obtained in leonardite.

Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 microcubes with the side size ca. 20-30um were successfully fabricated by a Cr3+-assisted hydrothermal method. The obtained samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results show that Cr3+ played a significant role in the formation of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 microcubes. Possible mechanisms for the growth of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 microcubes are discussed. The results presented in this study would be important in investigating the correlation between morphology and basic physical properties, and may offer a route to control the morphology and size of crystals.

The micro/nanofibrils of poplar could be prepared by treatment of ultrasonic. The properties of micro/nanofibrils were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The results indicated that poplar micro/nanofibril was the same as raw fiber in chemical compositions and crystal structure. The crystallinity of micro/nanofibrils was 84.99 percent, increased by 20 percent compared to original fiber after ultrasonic crushing. The micro/nanofibril diameter was from 50 nm to 1 μm.The internal bond strength (IB) of wheat-straw fiberboard could be significantly improved by adding poplar micro/nanofibril suspension to the urea formaldehyde resin adhesive(UF),when the adding amount of poplar micro/nanofibril suspension was 15wt percent, the IB of wheat-straw fiberboard was up to 0.86 MPa.
