An ultrasound field was applied to obtain Polylactic acid (PLA)/Hydroxyapatite (HAp) biocomposite microspheres with the specific core-shell structure to be applied as a carrier of a drug. The hydroxyapatite was obtained from crocodile bone by thermal process. Sample characterization was achieved by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). As the result, the PLA/HAp loading clindamycin with different polymer-to-ceramic part wt.% ratio (100:0, 90:10, 80:20, and 70:30) showed the agglomeration of sphere-like particles. In addition, the loading efficiency of clindamycin increased with increasing HAp content up to 20%.

ZnO@ZnS nano-array core-shell structure was synthesized through a solution method using a thioacetamide (TAA) solution in deionized water. The as-synthesized ZnO nano-array and TAA solution were employed to supply zinc and sulfur ions to form the ZnO@ZnS core-shell structures. The properties of the structure were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectrum, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-Vis spectra. The results indicate that ZnO nano-array was coated with ZnS particles. The concentration of TAA solution can affect the diameter, surface roughness and optical properties of the ZnO@ZnS nano-array core-shell structures.

Stability of Ag2S@ZnS QDs in water is a crucial concern for their application in biology. In this work, both physical sustainability and emission stability of Ag2S QDs were enhanced using parameter optimization of a pulsed microwave irradiation (MI) method up to 105 days after their preparation. UV–Vis and photoluminescence spectroscopies depicted an absorption and emission about 817 nm and 878 nm, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed a growth of Ag2S acanthite phase. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) images revealed a clear formation of Ag2S@ZnS core–shell structure.

Silica/polyurea composite was prepared after surface modification of silica nanoparticles. Silica/polyurea composite was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The results indicate that the helical polyurea has been successfully grafted onto the surfaces of the modified silica. Silica/polyurea composite exhibits clearly core–shell structure. The ultraviolet absorption and crystallizability of silica/polyurea are changed due to the shell of helical polyurea, which possesses regular singlehanded conformation and interchain hydrogen bonds. The dielectric constant of silica/polyurea was also investigated. The result indicates that the interfacial interactions between organic shell and inorganic core increase the dielectric constant value being increased to 6.42 for silica/polyurea. The interchain hydrogen bonds of helical polyurea could also be the reason for the increasing of dielectric constant.

High volume utilization of industrial wastes and by products is the solution for high disposal coast. The anti-frost of high performance concrete is a key factor for safe utilization of concrete structure containing industrial wastes under severe environment. In this paper, to understand the property on anti-frost of high performance containing ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) under cold marine environment. Some comparison studies were conducted on plain concrete by rapid freeze-thaw cycle test. During the rapid freeze-thaw cycle test, the mass loss and relative elastic modulus were measured regularly at the prescribed conditioning ages. The development of microstructure in concrete was analyzed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The rapid freeze-thaw cycle test results show that the plain concrete was destroyed severely at 150 freeze-thaw cycles. After 225 freeze-thaw cycles, the mass loss and the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity of GGBFS concrete decrease 1.3% and 26.11%, respectively, that indicates that GGBFS significantly improve the anti-frost performance of concrete; The addition of GGBFS can accelerate the cement hydration reaction, promote more Ca (OH)2 crystals shift to C-S-H gel and help to increase the density of the micro-structure of concrete, which can prevent the formation of micro-cracks and suppress the propagation of cracks and thus effectively improve the durability of concrete. KEY WORDS: GGBFS; freeze-thaw durability; microstructure; scanning electron microscopy; X-ray diffraction.

Five multi-component alloy (MCA) formulations of CoFeMnNiZn (MCA01), Al0.5CoFeMnNiZn (MCA02), Al1.0CoFeMnNiZn (MCA03), Co5Fe5Mn30Ni20Zn40 (MCA04) and Al8.4Co4.6Fe4.6Mn27Ni18.4Zn37 (MCA05) were prepared by mechanical alloying and melting process (MAM). Five-component alloys of MCA01-MCA05 were designed using empirical formulae for high entropy alloys. Phase formation and microstructure were evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that MCA01 was partially melted by MAM process. However, MCA02-MCA05 could be melted and cast by MAM process. The microstructures of as-cast MCA02 and MCA03 showed dendritic solidification. Nevertheless, the as-cast MCA04 showed microstructure similar to that of Ni-based superalloy, i.e., the as-cast MCA04 consisted of γ matrix and γ′ phase. Moreover, egg type core shell structure was found in the interdendritic regions of the MCA05 alloy. In addition, the Al-added MCA02 and MCA03 alloys showed crystal structures of FCC1, FCC2 and BCC. MCA04 alloy demonstrated crystal structure of FCC whereas MCA05 alloy had crystal structures of FCC and Primitive Cubic.

We have prepared MgO/Au core–shell nanowires, subsequently demonstrating the fabrication of Au nanotubes by using MgO nanowires as a sacrificial template. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. MgO nanowires were coated with a conformal layer of Au via sputtering. By etching away the MgO core in aqueous (NH3)2SO4 solution, hollow nanotube-like structures of Au were readily obtained. This approach offers a potentially useful route for the fabrication of a variety of hollow metallic structures.

MnO2-deposited lignin-based carbon fiber (MnO2-LCF) mats are fabricated for supercapacitor applications. LCF mats are produced from alkali lignin via electrospinning followed by stabilization and carbonization. The carbonization process is carried out at 800, 900, and 1000 °C, and the corresponding mats are denoted as MnO2-LCF-800, MnO2-LCF-900, and MnO2-LCF-1000, respectively. The LCF mats are immersed in a KMnO4 solution at room temperature for 72 h to obtain MnO2-LCF mats. The scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis confirm the deposition of MnO2 on the LCFs. The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, X-ray spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy reveal that MnO2-LCF-800 mat possesses a large number of mesopores and Mn vacancies as compared to MnO2-LCF-900 mat and MnO2-LCF-1000 mat. Consequently, MnO2-LCF-800 mat possesses the best electrochemical properties with a specific capacitance of 131.28 F∙g−1, an energy density of 14.77 Wh∙kg−1, and a power density of 135.01 W∙kg−1 at a specific current of 0.3 A∙g−1. Hence, MnO2-LCF-800 mat shows high potential to be used as a high-performance supercapacitor.

Starting from natural raw materials, cements based calcium sulphoaluminate (CSA) clinkers have been successfully obtained as an eco-friendly alternative to ordinary Portland cement. CSA-based cements with ye’elimite as the main phase have been produced over the years and are widely used today. In this regard, the present paper considers the study of hydration processes for CSA pastes prepared with a water/cement ratio of 0.5 according to the EN-197 standard and their characterization by thermal analysis (DTA-TG), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX). A mechanical strength of 60.9 MPa was the greatest achieved for mortars hardened for 28 days.
