In this paper, a series of chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) experiments for magnesia alumina (Mg-Al) spinel were carried out with different abrasives, and the materials removal rate (MRR) and surface quality was evaluated to explore their different effects. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) and laser particle size analyzer were also employed to test the micro-shape and size distribution of abrasives. Then, the mechanism of different effects with different abrasives was analyzed in CMP for Mg-Al spinel. Those experimental results suggest that different subjecting pressure ratios of abrasives to polishing pad with different abrasive are the key factors leading to difference polishing performances in CMP.

In this work, titanium Dioxide (TiO2) powder was prepared by sol gel method using Titanium (IV) Isopropoxide (TTIP) as precursor and Ethanol (C2H5OH) as solvent. The sol-gel was heated at temperature 150°C in 1 hour. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) powder was milled with constant ball to powder ratio (BPR) of 10:1 with speed 600 rpm. Then the sample was characterized using Particle Size Analyzer, Raman Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) powder was prepared with three different concentration of TTIP to the size of Titanium Dioxide (TTIP) powder. Titanium Dioxide (TTIP) powder was milled with ball milling to produce nanopowder of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2).

The purpose of this work was to investigate the mechanism of macroporous zirconia particles formation by hydrothermal synthesis. Hydrothermal synthesis of zirconia was prepared from precursor solution of Zr(NO3)2 with a concentration of 0.3 M at temperatures of 300 and 200°C carried out in a batch and a continuous reactor, respectively. Hydrothermally synthesized colloid subsequently was mixed with polystyrene template to form macroporous zirconia particles, and then was synthesized hydrothermally for 1 hour at temperature of 150°C and 200°C. Once the synthesis was complete, the particles were then dried at temperature of 60°C for 6 hours. In order to eliminate polystyrene template from the particles, the dried particles were calcined at temperature of 600°C and 900°C for 6 hours. The morphology of particles formed were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Particle Size Analyzer (PSA). The analytical result showed that macroporous particles were formed at all experimental condition, and the mechanism of macroporous particles formation could be observed clearly. Based on the XRD analysis, the crystal zirconia consisted of monoclinic and tetragonal phase.

The pore spaces in sandstones are the result of the original depositional fabric and the degree of post-depositional alteration that the rock has experienced. The largest pore volumes are present in coarse-grained, well-sorted materials with high sphericity. The chief mechanisms which alter the shape and size of the pores are precipitation of cementing agents and the dissolution of soluble components. Each process may operate alone or in combination with the other, or there may be several generations of cementation and solution.The scanning electron microscope has ‘been used in this study to reveal the morphology of the pore spaces in a variety of moderate porosity, orthoquartzites.

The purpose of this work is to study the effect of kaolin particle size for the preparation of low cost ceramic membrane suspension and ceramic membrane structure. Kaolin particle size is categorized into two categories; i) ≤ 1µm and ii) ≥ 1 µm. The suspension is prepared via stirring technique under 1000 rpm at 60°C. The particle size of kaolin is characterized using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and the prepared suspension is characterized in term of its viscosity. Results indicate that the particle size gave significant effect to the viscosity of ceramic membrane suspension. Preliminary data showed that kaolin with particle size ≤ 1µm resulted ceramic membrane with dense structure.

AbstractPoint spread function (PSF) deconvolution is an attractive software-based technique for resolution improvement in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) because it can restore information which has been blurred by challenging operating conditions. In Part 1, we studied a modern PSF determination method for SEM and explored how various parameters affected the method's ability to accurately estimate the PSF. In Part 2, we extend this exploration to PSF deconvolution for image restoration. The parameters include reference particle size, PSF smoothing (K), background correction, and restoration denoising (λ). Image quality was assessed by visual inspection and Fourier analysis. Overall, PSF deconvolution improved image quality. Low λ enhanced image sharpness at the cost of noise, while high λ created smoother restorations with less detail. λ should be chosen to balance feature preservation and denoising based on the application. Reference particle size within ±0.9 nm and K within a reasonable range had little effect on restoration quality. Restorations using background-corrected PSFs had superior quality compared with using no background correction, but if the correction was too high, the PSF was cut off causing blurrier restorations. Future efforts to automatically determine parameters would remove user guesswork, improve this method's consistency, and maximize interpretability of outputs.

In this experiment, ultrafine iron phosphate micro-powder was prepared by hydrothermal method which used phosphate slag as an iron source. The effects of reaction temperature, surfactants type and amount on its particle size were explored. The samples were characterized by using Malvern Laser Particle Size Analyzer (MS2000), X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX).The results showed that at 160 °C, 1 wt%CTAB, monoclinic iron phosphate micro-powder was obtained with an average particle size about 0.4 μm which also has a good dispersion in aqueous solution.

Two types of surface markings on the aeciospores of five pine stem rusts occurring in Canada were observed under a scanning electron microscope. Spores of four species, Endocronartium harknessii (J. P. Moore) Y. Hiratsuka (= Peridermium harknessii J. P. Moore), Cronartium coleosporioides Arth. (= P. stalactiforme Arth. & Kern), C. comptoniae Arth., and C. ribicola J. C. Fisch., had annulated processes with five to seven layers and each spore had a smooth area. The smooth area was at the same level as the top layer of the processes. Each species could be distinguished by the shape and size of its processes. Spores of Cronartium comandrae Pk. had no smooth areas and had obtuse or cuspidate processes with no annulations. Different ontogenies were apparent for the two types of spore surface markings.

AbstractThe objective of this study was to build an automated size fractionator to process up to 16 samples at one time. Most parts used in the apparatus are inexpensive items, available from lawn irrigation, household appliance and aquatic pet supply stores. The device can be used to extract different silt and clay fractions by changing sedimentation time. A bentonite, a kaolin and an ironoxide-rich Oxisol were fractionated by this instrument to sequentially extract particles that have sizes equivalent to <2 µm, <5 µm, <10 µm and <20 µm quartz spheres. A laser diffraction particle size analyser revealed size differences in the different fractions and also showed that the silt fractions contained particles having slightly larger sizes than the assumed diameters of spherical quartz. Scanning electron microscope examination suggested that the greater particle size was mainly due to the non-spherical shapes of the particles and a reduced bulk density of the porous aggregates.

In present work, ceria microspheres were synthesized by template hydrothermal method. Crystalline form of the as-synthesized ceria microspheres was defined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Dispersibility of ceria microspheres was comprehensively characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation and laser particle size analyzer. Furthermore, the ultraviolet light absorption performances of ceria microspheres with several different sizes were compared by ultraviolet visible spectrophotometer. The results showed that ceria microspheres presented excellent UV absorbent property and the size influence was remarkable.
