A molecular colloidal shear thickening fluid (STF), polyborondimethylsioxane (PBDMS) was synthesized, which differs from traditionally studied Silica/PEG system. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), the controlled stress rheometer.etc, were used to characterize the produced PBDMS. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is the method to get the surface morphology of the Kevlar fabric impregnated by the fluid. Meanwhile the ballistic and stab tests of the composites materials were investigated.

Meningkatnya densitas uranium dari 2,96 gU/cm3 menjadi 5,2 gU/cm3 bahan bakar U3Si2/Al harus diikuti dengan penggunaan kelongsong yang kompatibel. Bahan bakar berdensitas tinggi mempunyai kekerasan yang tinggi, sehingga bila menggunakan paduan AlMg2 sebagai kelongsong dapat menyebabkan terjadi dogbone pada saat perolan. Selain fenomena dogbone, pada saat bahan bakar tersebut digunakan di reaktor dapat terjadi swelling karena meningkatnya hasil fisi maupun burn up. Oleh karena itu, perlu dicari pengganti bahan kelongsong untuk bahan bakar U3Si2/Al densitas tinggi. Pada penelitian ini telah dilakukan karakterisasi paduan AlMgSi sebagai kandidat pengganti kelongsong AlMg2. Karakterisasi yang dilakukan meliputi analisis termal, kekerasan, mikrostruktur dan laju korosi. Analisis termal dilakukan menggunakan DTA (Differential Thermal Analysis) dan DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry). Analisis kekerasan menggunakan alat uji kekerasan mikro, mikrostruktur menggunakan SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) dan analisis laju korosi dilakukan dengan pemanasan pada temperatur 150 oC selama 77 jam di dalam autoclave. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kelongsong AlMgSi maupun AlMg2 mempunyai kompatibilitas panas dengan bahan bakar U3Si2/Al cukup stabil hingga temperatur 650 oC. Kelongsong AlMgSi mempunyai kekerasan sebesar 115 HVN dan kelongsong AlMg2 sebesar 70,1 HVN. Sementara itu, analisis mikrostruktur menunjukkan bahwa morfologi ikatan antarmuka (interface bonding) kelongsong AlMgSi lebih baik dari kelongsong AlMg2, demikian halnya dengan laju korosi bahwa kelongsong AlMgSi mempunyai laju korosi lebih kecil dibanding kelongsong AlMg2. Hasil karakterisasi termal, kekerasan, mikrostruktur dan laju korosi menunjukkan bahwa PEB U3Si2/Al densitas 5,2 gU/cm3 menggunakan kelongsong AlMgSi lebih baik dibanding PEB U3Si2/Al  densitas 5,2 gU/cm3  menggunakan kelongsong AlMg2.Kata kunci: U3Si2/Al, densitas 5,2 gU/cm3, kelongsong AlMgSi dan AlMg2.

The composites of PP/Talc modified by stearic acid were prepared and its effect on the properties of PP/Talc composites was investigated in this paper. The tensile strength and impact strength of PP/Talc composites increased about 15% and 30% compared with pure PP respectively. Based on surface analysis by scanning electron microscope (SEM), the Talcparticles buried well in PP matrix when the Talc was coated with the stearic acid. At the same time, it was found that Talc significantly increased the crystallization temperature and crystallization rate of PP by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

Morfologi dan properti campuran (blend) karet alam jenis SIR-20/polypropylene (NR/PP) yang divulkanisasi dinamik dalam internal mixer telah dipelajari. Blend dibuat dengan rasio berat NR/PP 10/90, 20/80, 50/50, 60/40 dan 70/30 dan komposisi sulfur 3 dan 5 phr (per hundred rubber). Proses pencampuran dilakukan pada suhu 180 oC dan kecepatan rotor 60 rpm. Analisa morfologi menggunakan SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) dan DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry). Properti mekanik yang diukur meliputi tensile strength, elongation at break, izod impact, tearing dan hardness, berdasarkan standar ASTM. Didapatkan bahwa peningkatan rasio NR/PP menghasilkan distribusi partikel NR yang makin merata dengan ukuran yang makin kecil. Morfologi blend menunjukkan sistem dua fasa dan vulkanisasi fasa NR terjadi secara parsial dalam matrik PP. Peningkatan rasio NR/PP dan komposisi sulfur dapat meningkatkan properti elongation at break, namun menurunkan properti tensile strength, izod impact, tearing dan hardness. Elongation at break tertinggi yang dapat diperoleh adalah 70% pada rasio blend NR/PP 70/30 dan komposisi sulfur 5 phr.

Four zinc-rich coatings were applied onto steel substrate and then placed in neutral salt spray for 4000 h in order to study the anti-corrosion performance of the coatings. The results showed that the samples with two kinds of the coatings were more seriously eroded than the others. The reasons could be that the zinc particles were dispersed inhomogeneous in the binder and the zinc content was very lower than 96 wt. % obtained through the analysis of Scanning Electron Microscope and Differential Scanning Calorimetry.

In this paper, the cellulose acetate/tea polyphenol nanofibers are manufactured by electrostatic spinning technique. The surface morphology and thermal property of obtained nanofibers are characterized via scanning electron microscope, thermal gravity analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. Different concentrations of cellulose acetate/dimethyl formamide solutions are prepared before sonicated tea polyphenol powder was added. The diameter of cellulose acetate/tea polyphenol nanofibers increases with the increase of the cellulose acetate component.

Deformation induced martensite properties were examined according to existing martensite morphology, crystallography and formation temperatures for different prior austenite homogenization conditions in Fe-30%Ni-5%Cu alloy. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were employed to investigation. Scanning electron microscope observations showed elongated deformation induced martensite morphology in the austenite phase of alloy. As well, after deformation martensite start temperatures (Ms) were determined as -101?C and -105?C from DSC measurements for different homogenization conditions. In addition, X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the face centred cubic (fcc) of austenite phases and body centred cubic (bcc) deformation induced martensite phases for all studied samples.

The poly (lactic acid) (PLA) fiber of biodegradable polymer was fabricated by cotton candy method with small nozzle. The air pressure was varied from 0.2-0.5 MPa with nozzle temperature of 210-260°C. The morphology of fiber was determined by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Thermal properties were examined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). SEM results suggested that diameters the PLA fiber at temperature 250°C and air pressure of 0.2 MPa were smaller than the fiber at low and high temperature. The sizes of the fibers were lower than 1 μm and the fibers were irregular size. Crystallinity significantly decreased when increasing barrel temperatures while it slightly changed when varied air pressure. The productivity of PLA fibers was around 30-180 g/h depended on controlled the nozzle temperature and the air pressure.

A composite nanofiber containing poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and silica (SiO2) were prepared by electrospinning of their mixtrues.The various amount of SiO2 nanoparticle was add with 15 wt.% PVDF solution in mixed solvent of N,N-dimethylacetamine (DMAc) : acetone at a ratio of 4:6 with the applied voltage of 8 kV, tip to collector distance of 10 cm and flow rate of 1 ml/hr. The morphology of the PVDF/SiO2 membranes was investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The effect of SiO2 concentration on the morphology of the composite membranes were discussed. Crystallinity of the composite membranes was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found that SiO2 concentration have significant influence on the morphology and crystallinity of PVDF/SiO2 membranes.
