In the present work Collagen/Hydroxyapatite microsphere (Col/mHA) scaffold with a multiscale porosity was prepared. Col/mHA composite scaffold was prepared by freeze-drying/dehydrothermal crosslinking method. The HA microspheres (mHA) were obtained by spray drying of nanohydroxyapatite slurry prepared by precipitation technique. XRD analysis revealed that the microspheres were composed only of pure HA phase and EDS analysis revealed that Ca/P ratio was 1.69. The obtained microspheres had an average diameter 6 microns, specific surface area of 40 m2/g by BET analysis and BJH analysis shows meso porous structure having an average pore diameter 16nm. SEM analysis shows that the obtained Col/mHA scaffold had a macro porosity ranging from micron to 200 microns with meso porous mHA embedded in the collagen matrix.

Characterization of microstructure of silicide coatings obtained during diffusion process of pack cementation type was showed in this article. The basic materials were pure Mo sheet and TZM molybdenum alloys as well. The coatings were deposited in out of pack process with three different times of exposure. The temperature of deposition process was constant. In first step the phases compositions of coatings was described by XRD analysis. In each cases the MoSi2 phase was obtained on top surface of the coatings. The morphology of the coatings was very similar as well. All types of coatings were characterized by network of cracks on top surface of the coatings. There was no influence of depositions time on phases constituent and coatings topography. LM and SEM analysis revealed that internal coatings morphology was very similar in all cases. Basic differences was related to the thickness of coatings. All coatings were good quality without deep cracks. Microstructure was a columnar-like type without pores and voids.

Modified bamboo-charcoal (MBC) was prepared by Ferric sulfate dipping and microwave radiation with 20~30 mesh bamboo-charcoal (BC) pretreated by water boiling as the support. The original and modified BC were characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRD, BET and BJH. Fluoride removal from simulated drinking water containing fluoride was probed into with MBC. The results indicated that MBC took on minor average pore diameter (1.172nm), major microspores and greater specific surface area (99.891 m2/g). Loaded iron combined with BC by bonds from BC such as H-O-H bond, C-O bond and O-H bond. The increase of fluoride removal after BC being modified suggests that MBC is a more potential defluorinate agent.

Monodispersed mesoporous silicon dioxide microspheres were prepared by polymerization-induced colloid aggregation (PICA) method and calcined at 850oC. The prepared samples were characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetry (TG) and BET surface areas. The results showed that the obtained SiO2 microspheres had an average diameter of about 2.0 µm, a surface area of 253.3 m2g-1, an average pore volume of 0.62 mLg-1, and an average pore diameter of 7.9 nm. The formation mechanism of SiO2 spherical particles was discussed.

Radar-absorbing materials (RAMs) have been used in military applications for several decades to reduce radar detection of vessels and aircrafts. In the present work, the performance of Ni0.35Zn0.35Cu0.3Fe2O4 ferrite as a RAM is investigated. The ferrite was firstly synthesized by combustion reaction and then calcinated at 1200 °C for 1 h. Composites were prepared with 80:20, 70:30 and 60:40 concentrations in weight of ferrite:polychloroprene. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed a single phase ferrite formation and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the composites showed a good dispersion of the ferrite in the polychloroprene matrix. The electromagnetic (EM) characterization of the composites revealed that the EM attenuation is mainly attributed to magnetic losses observed in the material. The 80:20 composite achieved the best performance and presented a reflectivity of -26.7 dB at 10.2 GHz.

The mesoporous silica SBA-15 molecular sieve has been widely studied due to its unidirectional mesoporous structure, its high average pore diameter, its high thermal and hydrothermal stability and its ability to absorb metal ions, allowing its use as support material for catalysts. This study aimed to synthesize the Co/SBA-15 catalyst, and characterize it through the techniques of X-ray diffraction, temperature programmed reduction (TPR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SBA-15 support was synthesized from the following molar composition of reaction mixture: 1TEOS: 0.017 P123: 5.7 HCl: 173 H2O: 40 EtOH, and after calcined at 550 °C for 6 hours. The Co/SBA-15 catalyst was prepared by incorporating 10% cobalt by wet impregnation. Through the X-ray diffractograms, it was found that the impregnation has not changed the structure of the material. RTP profiles showed the presence of peaks at different temperatures that may be caused by dispersion of the cobalt.

<p>Utilization of wood powder is one of the alternative in waste wood prevention which has not been optimally utilized. Utilization of bionanofiller based on wood waste such as wood powder can also reduce dependence on raw materials such as silica, clay, bentonite, zeolite which diminished its existence. The sample used in this study is Meranti wood powder which is then prepared and characterized. The characterization of bionanofiller waste of Meranti wood powder is done by analyzing particle density, XRD, SEM, and FTIR. Particle density analysis showed Meranti wood powder having density of 0,044 gr/cm . XRD analysis shows that the maximum peak at an angle of 2θ = 22,2o 3 indicates the presence of carbon phase. The results of SEM analysis of Meranti wood powder are suitable for use as fillers because they are 1 μm in size. The result of functional group analysis shows the presence of functional groups -OH, -CH3, -CH2, C = C, C-H and C-O.</p>

AbstractA layered titanate with a lepidocrocite-type structure has been pillared with Al13 Keggin ions to prepare a porous and high-surface-area material. Pillaring was achieved by ion exchange of hexylammonium (HA-Ti) or tetrabuthylammonium (TBA-Ti) intercalated titanates with Keggin Al13 complex. The thermal stability of the Al13 intercalates depended on the amount of aluminum incorporated. The surface area and porosity can be tailored by controlling the amount of aluminum uptake and by the nature of base used to prepare the aluminium pillaring solution. In addition, the material derived from HA-Ti exhibited a sharp pore size distribution with an average diameter of 2 nm, while the pillared product obtained from TBA-Ti showed mostly a broad mesoporous distribution with an average pore diameter of 4 nm.

This Study applies to Stöber method for synthesis an characterization of even-sized SiO2micrometer sphere; and then applies to sol-gel method for encapsulation for one layer of ZnO at SiO2spherical surface after regarded it as core so that synthesis SiO2/ZnO core-shell spheres successfully. And observe morphology by FE-SEM and crossection by TEM. The TEM specimen were cut by two-beam FIB. Besides, EDS, XRD and UV-Visible spectroscopy were using for the analysis of composition, crystallization structure, and absorption spectrum, respectively. Experimental results showed that, SiO2spherical surface became smooth after deposition for zinc oxide. The specimen made by FIB more obviously was observed for core-shell distribution by TEM. EDS analysis made us clearly see shell signal with ZnO content, but core signal only is SiO2content. XRD analysis indicated its core-shell sphere signal possessing ZnO content, but UV-Visible absorption spectrometer displayed ZnO has been absorbed in range of UV light, in contrast, it is not absorbed in range of visible light.

The purpose of present study was aimed at developing self emulsifying drug delivery system in liquid and then in pellet form that would result in improved solubility, dissolution and permeability of the poorly water soluble drug carvedilol. Pellets were prepared using extrusion-spheronization technique incorporating liquid SEDDS (carvedilol, capmul MCM EP, cremophore EL, tween 20, propylene glycol), adsorbents ( and crospovidone), microcrystalline cellulose and binder (povidone K-30). Ternary phase diagram was constructed to identify different oil-surfactant-cosurfactant mixtures according to the proportion of each point in it. The optimal CAR-SEDDS pellets showed a quicker redispersion with a droplet size of the reconstituted microemulsion being 160.47 nm, which was almost unchanged after solidification. SEM analysis confirmed good spherical appearance of solid pellets; DSC and XRD analysis confirmed that there was no crystalline carvedilol in the pellets. Pellets were then capable of transferring lipophilic compounds into the aqueous phase and significantly enhancing its release with respect to pure drug.
