Using Ca(NO3)2·4H2O, (NH4)2HPO4 and ammonia water as the starting raw materials and L-DOAP as template, hydroxyapatite (HAP) crystals were successfully prepared at 180 °C by changing the hydrothermal time. The HAP crystals were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The XRD patterns indicate that increasing hydrothermal time is helpful to improve the purity of the product and enhance crystallinity of HAP crystal. The FTIR analysis shows that the carbonate ions enter into the HAP crystal lattice and the final products are carbonate-containing hydroxyapatite. The FESEM images illustrate that HAP crystal morphology changed to flower-like hierarchical structures and grass blanket-like hierarchical structures when increasing the hydrothermal time to 1 h and 24 h. Therefore, hydrothermal time has a great influence on the morphology of HAP and the possible formation mechanism of HAP samples has been discussed.

Chitosan-cellulose composite beads had been prepared using cellulose isolated from sugarcane bagasse. Sugarcane bagasse was hydrolyzed with H2SO4 with various concentrations (30, 40, and 50%). Cellulose obtained was characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). FTIR analysis results inform the existence of typical functional groups of cellulose in the sample. XRD patterns show H2SO4 concentration on the hydrolysis process influence the crystallinity of cellulose. Cellulose was used as a filler in the preparation of chitosan-cellulose composite beads. The results show that cellulose decrease the crystallinity of chitosan.

ABSTRACTNineteen roman ceramic sherds found near Salobreña (Granada, Spain), in the western coast of the Mediterranean Sea, as well as different ceramic clays from the surroundingsare studied. Both clays and ceramic sherds are characterizad by X-ray diffraction and spectrometry, differential thermal analysis, and scanning electron and optical microscopies. A good number of the ceramic pieces, among which some “Terrae Sigillatae”, have a composition similar to that of the local clays and, thus, have been probably manufactured at Salobreña. Only a few of them have a foreign origin. For most of them, the firing temperature was about 800-850 °C, although some have been produced at 900-1000 °C, and some others at 1000-1100 °C. It is concluded that Salobreña appearsto have been an important settlement just in the third century of the Christian era.

Bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) hexagonal nanosheet crystals with uniform size were successfully prepared via a solvothermal method at 160°C for 22 h using bismuth trichloride(BiCl3) and selenium powder(Se) as raw materials, sodium bisulfite(NaHSO3) as a reducing agent, diethylene glycol(DEG) as solvent, and ammonia as pH regulator. Various techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) were used to characterize the obtained products. Results show that the as-synthesized samples are pure Bi2Se3 hexagonal nanosheet crystals. A possible growth mechanism for Bi2Se3 hexagonal nanosheet crystals is also discussed based on the experiment.

This article examines the influence of fly ash on corrosion resistance of refractory forsterite-spinel ceramics by molten iron as a corrosive medium. Fly ash in comparison with alumina were used as raw materials and sources of aluminium oxide for synthesis of forsterite-spinel refractory ceramics. Raw materials were milled, mixed in different ratios into two sets of mixtures and sintered at 1550°C for 2 hours. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis and thermal dilatometric analysis. Crucibles were then made from the fired ceramic mixtures and fired together with iron at its melting point of 1535°C for 5 hours. The corrosion resistance was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy on the transition zones between iron and ceramics. Mixtures with increased amount of spinel had higher corrosion resistance and mixtures with fly ash were comparable to mixtures with alumina in terms of corrosion resistance and refractory properties.

Synthesis of Fe3O4@SiO2 modified with propyldiethylenetriamine (Fe3O4@SiO2@PDETA) with variation of synthesis routes have been investigated. Research was begun with synthesis of Fe3O4 using dispersion agent of trisodium citrate at coprecipitation system through stirring using ultrasonic wave. Coating magnetite with propyldiethylenetriamine modified silica was carried out through sol-gel process with two different mixing sequences of raw materials (two synthesis routes) with main materials of Fe3O4 synthesized, N-[3-(Trimethoxysilyl)propyl]-diethylenetriamine (TMSPDETA) and Na2SiO3. The products were characterized by fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometer and scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX). Results indicate that Fe3O4@SiO2@PDETA has been synthesized succesfully. Fe3O4@SiO2@PDETA synthesized through route 1 (magnetite mixed with a mixture TMSPDETA and Na2SiO3) contains more propyldiethylenetriamine group than that of through route 2 (magnetite mixed with Na2SiO3 solution, then mixed with TMSPDETA)

Pure and Nickel oxide doped chromium (III) oxide (Cr2O3) nanoparticals are synthesized by hydrothermal technique. The effect of dopant Ni concentration on the structural behavior of Cr2O3 nanoparticles was examined by X-ray diffraction. The average crystallite size of the synthesized nanoparticles was measured from XRD patterns using Scherrer equation and was decreased from 22nm to 12.9 nm with the increasing Nio concentration in Cr2O3 from (0, 0.01, 0.06, and 0.10). Morphologies and compositional elements of the synthesized nanoparticles were observed by the field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, respectively. The optical property of the samples was measured by ultraviolet - visible (UV-Vis.) absorption spectroscopy. The observed optical band gap value ranges from 2.3eV to 2.5eV for Ni doped nanoparticles

PVP/[Y(NO3)3+Al (NO3)3] composite nanobelts were fabricated via electrospinning combined with sol-gel process and novel structure of Y3Al5O12(denoted as YAG for short) nanobelts have been obtained after calcination of the relevant composite nanobelts. The structural properties were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD analysis indicated that the composite nanobelts were amorphous, and YAG nanobelts were cubic in structure with space group Ia3d. FTIR analysis manifested that pure YAG nanobelts were formed at 900oC. SEM analysis and histograms revealed that the width of the composite nanobelts and YAG nanobelts were 3.5 μm and 2.4 μm, and the thickness were 240 nm and 112 nm, respectively, under the 95% confidence level. The formation mechanism of YAG nanobelts was discussed in detail.

Alygorskite is a kind of hydrated magnesium aluminium silicate clay mineral. A novel linear core-shell structured Ni-P coated micro-fiber palygorskite (MFP) was fabricated via an electroless plating process in acid bath. The composition, morphology and structure of the as-prepared products were characterized by the techniques such as powder X-ray diffra-ction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The Magnetic Property of the powders was conducted from a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). It was observed that the MFPs surface was compactly coated with irregular Ni-P particle. The XRD patterns indicate the amorphous Ni-P microstructure of coating. Magnetic properties show that coated MFPs are ferromagnetic materials. The satura-tion magnetization (σs) and coercivity (jHc) of the powders are 13.86emu/g and 43.97 Oe respectively.

Cerium oxide(CeO2)nanoparticles were synthesized via a precipitation method using cerous sulfate, ammonia water and cetyl three methyl brominated ammoniu(CTAB) as raw materials. The effect of thermal treatment temperature and dispersing agent on the crystal structure and morphology were discussed. The structural evolutions and morphological characteristics of the nanoparticles were investigated using X-ray diffractometery, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results showed that the broadening of CeO2peaks decreases by the increasing in heat-treatment temperature and the dispersing agent playes key roles in microstructure of the CeO2.
