Straw fiber (SF)/polylactic acid (PLA) composites were prepared from SF and PLA. The effects of the composite SF/PLA mass ratio investigated in terms of mechanical properties, water resistance, crystal structure, and thermal properties were investigated. These composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopic (SEM), X-ray diffractometric (XRD), differential scanning calorimetric (DSC), and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA). The results showed that, when the SF/PLA mass ratio was 3/7, the mechanical properties and water resistance of these composites were the best. When the mass ratio exceeded 3/7, the interface compatibility in the composites decreased. As the SF/PLA mass ratio increased, the crystallinity and the heat resistance of the composites were decreased.

In this study, we have performed the preparation of reswellable amorphous porous celluloses through regeneration from hydrogels. The cellulose hydrogels were first prepared from solutions with an ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BMIMCl), in different concentrations. Lyophilization of the hydrogels efficiently produced the regenerated celluloses. The powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopic measurements of the products suggest an amorphous structure and porous morphology, respectively. Furthermore, the pore sizes of the regenerated celluloses, or in turn, the network sizes of cellulose chains in the hydrogels, were dependent on the concentrations of the initially prepared solutions with BMIMCl, which also affected the tensile mechanical properties. It was suggested that the dissolution states of the cellulose chains in the solutions were different, in accordance with the concentrations, which representatively dominated the pore and network sizes of the above materials. When the porous celluloses were immersed in water, reswelling was observed to regenerate the hydrogels.

The effect of gelation and the modulation of their properties with the variation of aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents, e.g., n-decane and n-dodecane have been presented for a homologous series of amides of L-alanine with fatty acids. The gelation properties of these compounds were studied by a number of physical methods including scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, rheology etc. It was found that the gelation properties vary with the chain length of the host aliphatic hydrocarbons. Scanning electron microscopic images showed modulation of the fiber diameters upon changing the solvent from n-decane to n-dodecane and this has been confirmed by the results obtained from small angle X-ray scattering studies independently. Thermal properties were observed under the differential scanning calorimetric studies which showed an increase in the sol–gel transition temperatures upon increase in the chain length of the hydrocarbon solvent. The mechanical behavior of such assemblies has been observed under rheological experiments which showed a more viscoelastic response for the gels in n-decane compared to n-dodecane.

Lead electrodeposition processes from the basic (nitrate) and complex (acetate) electrolytes were mutually compared by the scanning electron microscopic and the X-ray diffraction analysis of the produced powder particles. The shape of dendritic particles strongly depended on the type of electrolyte. The dendrites composed of stalk and weakly developed primary branches (the primary type) were predominantly formed from the basic electrolyte. The ramified dendrites composed of stalk and of both primary and secondary branches (the secondary type) were mainly formed from the complex electrolyte. In the both type of powder particles Pb crystallites were predominantly oriented in the (111) plane. Formation of powder particles of the different shape with the strong (111) preferred orientation was discussed and explained by the consideration of the general characteristics of the growth of a crystal in the electrocrystallization processes.
