Barium ferrite micro/nanofibers were successfully prepared via the electrospinning by using dimethyl formamide (DMF) as the solvent, poly vinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as the spinning auxiliaries and iron nitrate and barium nitrate as raw materials. The effect of poly vinyl pyrrolidone on the structure, morphology, magnetic and microwave absorbing properties were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), vibration sample magnetometer (VSM) and vector network analyzer (VNA). XRD patterns of the samples confirmed that when the additive content of PVP was up to 10%, (wt%) pure barium ferrite fibers formed under the condition of the same heat treatment. Also, the FE-SEM images showed that the morphology of the fibers improved with the increase of PVP content. Moreover, the VSM results demonstrated that the saturation magnetization can reach 54.7 emu/g when the PVP dosage is 14% (wt%) in the precursor solution.

Vanadium dioxide film, to be used as a thermochromic material for smart glazing, were prepared and fabricated on glass substrate via a polymer assisted deposition (PAD). Poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) and poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVOH) were used as the film former to control the viscosity of precursor solution and interact with vanadium ions. The structural characteristic of vanadium oxides films was optimized in this work using Taguchi's experimental design. The optimization was performed by considering the effect of annealing temperature, annealing time and heating rates on film thickness and XRD patterns of the prepared film. The results from XRD patterns indicated that the optimum conditions corresponding to the formation of vanadium dioxide (VO2), regardless of the polymer type, is that by using the annealing time and temperature of 6 h and 450 °C, respectively.

AbstractTiC particulates-reinforced Fe-based nanocomposites were fabricated using ferrotitanium and carbon black powders by mechanical alloying (MA). The raw materials were milled in a planetary ball mill and sampled in different times. The phase type, crystallite size, and mean strain of milled samples were estimated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) instrument. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of milled powders showed that titanium carbide was synthesized gradually after 90 min of milling and its formation was completed after 5 h and the crystallite size of the produced carbide was in nanometer scale. Increasing milling times gave rise to the reduction of crystallite size as well as the augmentation of the mean strain. Microstructural studies confirmed the accuracy of crystallite size calculations by XRD patterns.

Synthesis and characterization of multiple crystalline silver nanowires (NWs) with uniform diameters were carried out by using 1,2-propandiol and ethylene glycol (EG) as comediated solvents and FeCl3as mediated agent in the presence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP). Experimental data and structural characterizations revealed that AgNWs have evolved from the multiple crystalline seeds initially generated by reduction of AgNO3with EG and 1,2-propandiol followed by reducing Fe(III) to Fe(II) which in turn reacts with and removes adsorbed atomic oxygen from the surfaces of silver seeds. In addition, uniform silver nanowires were obtained by using FeCl2and AlCl3as mediated agents in EG solution. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed uniform nanowires in both diameter and length. UV-Vis spectra showed adsorption peaks confirming the formation of nanowires. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns displayed the final product with high crystallinity and purity. In this study, a growth mechanism for forming AgNWs was proposed and a comparison between different mediated agents was carried out.

Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4 ) powders were synthesized using Bi (NO3)3.5H2O and NH4VO3 as raw materials, NaOH and HNO3 for pH adjustment. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction ( XRD ), scanning electron microscopy (SEM ) and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra techniques. The results show that the pH of precursor solution has great effect on the composition and morphology of products. Synthetic product was BiVO4 with two kinds of crystal shape ( monoclinic and tetragonal ) with pH of 3; synthetic product was pure monoclinic phase BiVO4 when the pH is between 5-9. Whereas, V2O5 and Bi2O3 appeared when the pH was 11; synthetic product was a mixture of V2O5 and Bi2O3 with pH of 13, and BiVO4 don’t exist. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by the degradation of methylene blue solution. It is shown that the synthetic sample has the best photocatalytic ability with pH of 5. The degradation of methylene blue reaches 84.7% when irradiated for 240 min by high pressure mercury lamp, and the sample synthesized at 13 for pH has strong adsorption capacity and poor photocatalytic ability.

The composite nanofiber membranes of poly (ε-caprolactone)/poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PCL/PVP) containing silver nanoparticles were prepared by electrospinning method. The morphology of composite nanofibers was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The silver nanoparticles on the electrospun fibers were characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The contact angle and water uptake of PCL/PVP/Ag nanofiber membranes were measured. The SEM photos indicated that the average diameter of the fibers was significantly decreased with the addition of silver nanoparticles. The X-Ray images showed that Ag nanoparticles were distributed on the surface of nanofiber membranes. When the PVP mole ratio was higher than 15%, the nanofiber membranes showed good hydrophilic property. The PCL/PVP/Ag nanofiber membranes could be applied to prepare wound dressing.

In this study, the photocatalytic properties and morphology of TiO2, ZnO, Ag-graphene-zinc oxide (Ag-G-ZnO) and Ag-graphene-titanium dioxide (Ag-G-TiO2) nanocomposite were compared. The Ag-G-ZnO and Ag-G-TiO2 nanocomposite were successfully prepared by thermal decomposition of colloidal solution. These prepared composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-Vis spectroscopy and photocatalytic activities. The results from XRD patterns show that Ag-G-TiO2 composites and the Ag-G-ZnO nanocomposites were in the form of fcc and hcp crystal structure, respectively. The SEM images show that at calcination of 500 °C for 3 h, the composite thin film of Ag-G-ZnO and Ag-G-TiO2 were homogenous. In the case of the photocatalytic experiments using methylene blue dye (MB) under UV irradiation, the order of the photocatalytic activities from high to low performances are Ag-G-ZnO, Ag-G-TiO2, ZnO and TiO2, respectively.

Poly vinyl pyrrolidone (PVP(K30)) / Bisphenol A Dicyanate ester (BADCy) blends were fabricated to increase the toughness of BADCy by blending processing in this paper. Curing parameters were determined by gelation time curves and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of the systems. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) and DSC data were employed to show the curing behavior and kinetics of the systems. Mechanical properties of the cured resin had been improved rapidly with the increasing of PVP(K30) at low mass fraction, but would decrease when mass fractions of PVP(K30) were higher than 15%. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) was applied to show the microstructures of the cured matrixes. Based on the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) curves, water absorption curves, SEM images and dielectric properties of the blends, it can be concluded that the addition of PVP(K30) can improve the toughness of BADCy greatly with little loss of other properties.

The prime purpose of the current study was to investigate the consequence of surfactant on the kinematic viscosity, thermal conductivity, and stability of MgO-oil based nanofluid. Magnesia (MgO) nanoparticles were prepared by the wet chemical method. Structural and morphological analysis of synthesized nanoparticles were performed via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission electron microscope (TEM). Subsequently, nanofluid was prepared at a solid concentration of 0.025% in presence of various surfactants with the aid of ultrasonic technique. The impact of the different surfactants (Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB), Poly Vinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP), Poly Vinyl Alcohol (PVA), and Oleic Acid) on the nanofluid stability was tested. It was evident that CTAB and PVA surfactants establish the most stable prepared MgO-oil based nanofluid. The experiments revealed that the maximum UV–Vis absorbance of the solution corresponds to the dispersion of CTAB in the base fluid.
