This study is mainly focused on the study of pore size and shape, fibre diameter and also on the optimization of polymer solution composition and electrospinning parameters with respect to the final structure and morphology of PLA nano/microfibrous layers. The nano/microfibres were produced by electrospinning from the needle. Except the spinning process parameters, the morphology of nanofibrous layers can be also affected by the composition of the polymer solution and by the used solvents. Variations in technological process allows us to design the shape and form of nanofibrous structures upon request. The morphology of nano/microfibres was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Following image analysis and calculation enables the assessment of porosity contribution to the increase in micro/nanofibre surface area.

Coral morphology is influenced by genetics, the environment, or the interaction of both, and thus is highly variable. This protocol outlines a non-destructive and relatively simple method for measuring Scleractinian coral sub-corallite skeletal structures (such as the septa length, theca thickness, and corallite diameter, etc.) using digital images produced as a result of digital microscopy or from scanning electron microscopy. This method uses X and Y coordinates of points placed onto photomicrographs to automatically calculate the length and/or diameter of a variety of sub-corallite skeletal structures in the Scleractinian coral Porites lobata. However, this protocol can be easily adapted for other coral species - the only difference may be the specific skeletal structures that are measured (for example, not all coral species have a pronounced columella or pali, or even circular corallites). This protocol is adapted from the methods described in Forsman et al. (2015) & Tisthammer et al. (2018). There are 4 steps to this protocol: 1) Removal of Organic Tissue from Coral Skeletons 2) Imaging of Coral Skeletons 3) Photomicrograph Image Analysis 4) Calculation of Corallite Microstructure Size This protocol was written by Dr. Rowan McLachlan and was reviewed by Ashruti Patel and Dr. Andréa Grottoli. Acknowledgments Leica DMS 1000 and Scanning Electron Microscopy photomicrographs used in this protocol were acquired at the Subsurface Energy Materials Characterization and Analysis Laboratory (SEMCAL), School of Earth Sciences at The Ohio State University, Ohio, USA. I would like to thank Dr. Julie Sheets, Dr. Sue Welch, and Dr. David Cole for training me on the use of these instruments.

A new composite coagulant polymeric aluminum zinc ferric (PAZF) was synthesized from industrial wastes. The structure and morphology of the coagulant was characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Infrared Spectroscopy (IR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and the coagulation performances were evaluated by dyeing-printing wastewater treatment. The results show that new complex compounds are formed in PAZF. Compared with poly aluminum chloride (PAC), the contents of ionic polymerized bonds and the cross-copolymerization among Fe (III), Al (III) and Zn (II) hydroxyl polymerized bonds are increase obviously, and the surface morphology of PAZF presents a net-like structure with the longer molecular chain. Coagulation experiments indicate that PAZF exhibits better coagulation performance in removing turbidity, COD and chromaticity.

Abstract The paper is focused on analyses of dark copper patina defects that were formed on one sheet under the same conditions. Roofs of ten historical buildings were studied by image analysis and samples of two roofs were subjected to more detailed destructive analysis. These samples were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy. Both types of patina are composed of brochantite. Green patinas consisted of a pure brochantite and they had a fl at and compact surface. Conversely, black patina contained a high degree of impurities (ammonia cations, nitrates, silicates) and the surface was rough. The proportion of dark patina was higher in south and east facing surfaces, where washing by rainfall is more difficult.

Hematite coated PEG was synthesized by the sonication-calcination method. A variation of Na2CO3 is investigated to know the effect on structure and morphology. Characterization of samples are using X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy, and color reader techniques. XRF data showed that iron is the highest element in the precursor. The X-ray diffraction data confirm that Fe(OH)3, α-FeOOH, and Fe3O4 established at the sonication stage are then transformed into the α-Fe2O3 phase after calcination. The X-ray diffraction data also was found that α-Fe2O3 at 0.5 M formed with the highest crystallinity degree. The scanning electron microscopy showed that the particle's shape is spherical, bar-shaped, and aggregate. However, the distribution of particles is not uniform and still displays agglomeration. The Color reader shows the highest degree of lightness obtained is at 1 M variation.

NdSr 2 RuCu 2 O x material has been prepared as polycrystalline powder by solid state reaction. The compound has been investigated by synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The experimental results show that the average crystal structure is a disordered cubic perovskite with Nd and Sr cations occupying the same site and the same substitution is found for Cu and Ru atoms. A comparison between the crystal structure and morphology of this compound and the superconducting tetragonal GdSr 2 RuCu 2 O 8 is also discussed.

The pore structure and microstructure of the foam concrete was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy combined with digital image analysis. The results show that: (1) even-distributed fine and close pores resulting in high strength and low permeability; (2) uneven-distributed large size pores and open pores lead to low strength and high permeability; (3) light microscopy combined with digital image analysis is a cheap and convenient tool fitting for the pore structure analysis of the foam concrete; (4) scanning electron microscopy is very appropriate for the pore structure and microstructure analysis of the foam concrete.

The formation of novel high aspect ratio nanofibers from polyesteramides based on ε-caprolactam and ε-caprolactone is reported. Nanofibers were prepared by the electrospinning method from polymer solution. Scanning electron microscopy images of nanofiber layers revealed that the diameter of fibers depended on the nature of the solvent or the mixture of solvents used and especially on the composition of polyesteramides.
