In recent years biopolymer fillers are widely used to development of composite materials for various purposes. In this respect collagen hydrolysate (HC) is one of the most promising biopolymer for modification of synthetic polymers to produce different types of item. In this work, a new source of collagen has been tested - collagen hydrolysate obtained from a swim bladder of northern fishes. The cure characteristics, mechanical and relaxation properties, abrasion resistance of the Butadiene–acrylonitrile rubber composites containing the collagen hydrolysate have been discussed. The chemical compositions, properties, morphology of collagen hydrolysates have been studied. It was shown by means of IR spectroscopy that the bands of Amide I, Amide II, Amide III, Amide A, which is related to the vibrations of the polypeptide bond of the protein, are recorded in the infrared spectra of the samples. The morphological structure of collagen was investigated by scanning electron microscope JSM-7800F ("JEOL", Japan). The size and the zeta potential of collagen hydrolysate were investigated by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) on the Zetasizer nanoZS instruments (Malvern Instruments Ltd., UK).

This work studies the use of red chilli tree (capsicum anuumm L) waste as material of activated carbon and examines the morphological structure and elemental composition of the activated chili trees. The morphological structure was measured at TekMIRA (Pusat Penelitian dan Pengembangan Teknologi Mineral dan Batubara, Bandung) by using the scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the composition of the elements of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and ash is determined by the ultimate testing analysis with the ASTM D5373 standard. In the testing procedure, activated carbon is made from red chili tree waste by dehydration with a temperature of 2000 C for 1 hour and carbonized with a temperature of 3750 C for 1 hour. Then, the chemical activation (NaOH) is made in variation of concentration of 1%, 3%, and 5% with soaked time 24 hours, and dried at 2000 C for one hour. The carbonization at a concentration of 1% (NaOH) gave the best result on activated carbon from red chili trees.

The Impact

The subject of this paper is improvement in the growth and yield of three different types of legumes and rape in drought conditions by coating seeds with hydrolysed collagen from tanning waste. In addition, the impact of various additives in the seed shell on the growth of the plant was investigated. The encapsulation process of seeds was conducted on a disc granulator. A centrally placed seed was first coated with a layer of fungicides. The next layer was collagen hydrolysate, collagen hydrolysate with latex or a solution of yellow dextrin and polyvinyl alcohol. The outer layer was a mineral additive e.g. dolomite or kaolin. After the end of the encapsulation process on the disk granulator, all of the seeds tested were sown into soils. Seeds without coating were also sown as control seeds. Seedlings were maintained for 29 days with cultivation without irrigation. The length of the seedlings was analysed for all of the seeds sown. Higher seedling growth values were obtained for seeds coated with collagen hydrolysate in comparison with control seeds (without coating). The use of collagen hydrolysate gave slightly better results than in the case of a solution of dextrin with polyvinyl alcohol.

The wollastonite/PP composites were manufactured by twin-screw extruder and the effects of compatabilizer, feeding method and screw configuration on the properties of wollastonite/PP composites were investigated in this paper. The dispersion of fibrous wollastonite in PP matrix was determined by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that the strength, toughness and flowability of the composite were simultaneously guaranteed by using three different types of PP resins, and the interfacial adhesion was improved greatly by adding the compatabilizer of PP-g-MAH, which increases the comprehensive properties of wollastonite/PP composite. The fibrous dispersion of wollastonite in PP matrix was achieved by using of side feeding and the weak-shear screw configuration, which reaches the good reinforcing effect.

Condition of epistomatal wax on the abaxial surface of the current and previous-year needles of damaged silver fir trees (<em>Abies alba</em> Mill.), both from the polluted Risnjak and "clean" Donja Dobra sites in Gorski Kotar region, both influenced by pollutants coming from Europe, during two years, three times a year, were examined with Scanning Electron Microscope. In the course of time the wax tubules on the epistomatal rims of stomata in polluted, but also in "clean" needles surface, become fused and agglomerated rapidly to various extents of morphologically different types of amorphous wax crusts, primarily compact and particulate ones. This process begins very early, especially in polluted Risnjak site, and may be interpreted as a possible result of air pollution. However, the recrystalization, or production of new tubules, also appears relatively quickly in mostly cases. Quantitative estimations indicate a very large total amount of amorphous wax crusts in the current-year needles, and a very high percentage of the same wax in previous-year needles. Amorphous wax crusts cover stomatal pores, as well as the rims, disturbing the normal gas exchange. Statistically there is a signicant tendency of increase in wax degradation in the needles of the polluted site in comparison with those of the unpolluted one, but there is an insignificant wax degradation among the needles of damaged trees within each site. These results confirmed most of the research done in our preliminary report.

Three different types of ectomycorrhizae found in the Southeastern United States on Eucalyptus nova-anglica and identified as being formed by Cenococcum geophilum, Pisolithus tinctorius, and Scleroderma geaster were examined with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). In overall appearance the three types of mycorrhizae could be distinguished easily from each other, particularly C. geophilum, which had a relatively smooth, undulate surface in comparison with the other two types. Detailed descriptions and comparisons of these ectomycorrhizae are given and the value of SEM in characterizing ectomycorrhizae is discussed

This study examines the exomorphic achene characteristics of 23 taxa belonging to Centaurea, Cyanus, Psephellus and Rhaponticoides in Asteraceae using light microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The exomorphic characteristics studied are shape, size, colour and surface pattern of achene, and hair, length and colour of pappus. The results of the present investigation showed that achene size of the studied taxa is 3–7 × 1–4 mm. Pappus length is 1–14 mm, deciduous for three taxa and inner row is differentiated from the outer, 1–3 mm long, for 10 taxa. SEM studies showed eight different types of achene surface patterns for the studied taxa: Glebulate, glebulate-ruminate, reticulate, ribbed, ruminate, smooth, smooth-glebulate and undulate. Achene characteristics are useful for both intrageneric and intraspecific classification of the studied taxa.Bangladesh J.

The microstructure of Al65Cu20Fe14 (numbers indicate at.%) alloy doped with 1 at.% of W was studied. The selected alloy composition should allow to obtain the quasicrystalline icosahedral phase after solidification process. The bulk samples were obtained in two stages. At first, the synthesis of alloy through premelting of component elements in induction furnace and then, the directional solidification by the Bridgman method were performed. The morphology of selected areas of the samples were studied using Scanning Electron Microscope equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope, which was used to examine chemical compositions of each analysed areas. Additionally the X-ray powder diffraction was used to identify the phases present in the alloys. It was stated that the filaments of tungsten were present in the alloys. The filaments have thickness ranged from 0.01 to 2.5 μm. As a result of investigation, the arrangement of filaments in the material was determined.

The objective of the present work was to evaluate the effects of different types of particles added to a polymer paste applied onto a textile carrier on the cut resistance of the resulting material. Knitted aramid textile samples were coated in laboratory conditions using a polymer paste that was functionalized with 12 types of reinforcing particles of different chemical compositions and size fractions. Cut resistance was tested in accordance with the standard EN ISO 13997:1999 and the results were subjected to statistical analysis. The effects of additive particles on the microstructure of the polymeric layer were assessed by means of scanning electron microscopy. The type and size of the particles affected the cut resistance of the functionalized knitted fabric. They were also found to change the morphology of the porous structure. Composite coatings containing the smallest additive particles exhibited the best cut resistance properties.
