The objective of this work was the characterization of cellulose and cellulose nitrate nanofilms from the mixture of Kraft pulps of  Pinus sp. and Eucalyptus sp. bleached. The production of nanocellulose was made by mechanical processing. To obtain the cellulose nitrate, the nitration was carried out in part of the produced nanocellulose. The characterizations were performed by means of scanning electron microscopy, medium infrared spectroscopy, tensile strength and absorption assay.  The results demonstrate that there was influence of  nitration in the characteristics of the films produced. The nanofilms of cellulose nitrate appear more interesting for the absorption property, indicating the use of this process for uses that require this characteristic.

AbstractPolysulfone (Pfu) films were modified by grafting poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) by the oxidative pre-irradiation technique. To achieve this modification, some parameters were modified such as the radiation dose, the concentration of PVA, the temperature and the reaction time. It was found that the grafted films with 12% presented a greater grafting percentage (0.86%). The modified films were characterized by means of the contact angle, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques.

Lizardite were synthesized by hydrothermal reaction in an Fe3+doped solution/environment using nanometer SiO2and MgO as precursors. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results show that: the synthetic samples are lizardite with a thickness ranging from 60 nm to 200 nm in the temperature range 200°C~230°C.

CaCO3 polymorphs are intensively studied due to their importance in the nature and the widespread use in the industry as well. This work is dealing with the crystallization of aragonite from vaterite dispersion during the refluxation at 100°C. The characterization of CaCO3 polymorphs during vaterite transformation was performed with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). The influence of the different refluxing times on the aragonite crystallization was discussed. The purest aragonite, 70.7(2) wt.%, was synthetized in the sample refluxed for 60 minutes. Prolonged refluxation strongly affected aragonite crystals with gradual transformation into calcite.

A series of wood polyacrylonitrile (PAN) composites (WPCs) were synthesized through impregnation polymerization of Eucalyptus wood (Eucalyptus Grandies) by acrylonitrile (AN) in methanol (20-60% v/v) in the presence of benzoyl peroxide (1.0% w/v) in benzene medium at 70 ±10C. This resulted in corresponding WPCs with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) loading in the range of 15.5-20%. Loading of PAN into wood, as ascertained through TGA, DTGA and DTA and supported by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) as well as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was found to increase the resistance against thermo-oxidation of WPCs in comparison to untreated wood.

Laser offset welding of 5052 aluminum to press-hardened steel using a brass interlayer was carried out. The cross-sectioned macrostructure and tensile strength were governed by varying the thickness of the brass interlayer. The maximum tensile strength reached 56.4 MPa when the thickness of brass interlayer was 0.05 mm. Subsequently, the interface microstructure, the nanoindentation characterization, and the fracture behavior were evaluated experimentally by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), and micro-X-ray diffraction (micro-XRD), respectively. It was found that the intermetallic compound (IMC) layer at the interface consisted of an Fe2Al5 layer and an FeAl layer, and the estimated nanohardness of Fe2Al5, FeAl, and Fe3Al were 16.11 GPa, 9.48 GPa, and 4.13 GPa, respectively. The fracture of the joint with the 0.05 mm brass interlayer was a mixture of cleavage fracture and intergranular fracture, while that of the joint with the 0.1 mm brass interlayer exhibited the characterization of a major dendrite arm, leaving a metallurgical connected zone consisting of the Al2Cu and the α-Al phase.
