An insight into the process of tablet formation of microcrystalline cellulose

The present paper aims to show whether the shrinking of the microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) tablets can be derived from underlying processes and whether these processes can be visualized on a nanoscale level. Tableting of MCC was performed on an instrumented eccentric tableting machine to a maximum relative density (ρ_rel,max) of 0.90 of the tablets. The apparent density of the tablets was analyzed by helium pycnometry after tableting. The breaking surface of a MCC tablet was analyzed directly after tableting continuously by video in an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) at constant humidity. Further the breaking surface was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) after freeze fracturing. The results show that firstly apparent density by helium pycnometry increases after tableting and that secondly inside the tablet the fiber strength decreased while also the gaps between the fibers increased as was visualized by ESEM. Further the results by TEM indicate that the decrease in fiber strength is caused by a parallel orientation of the MCC microcrystals which is induced by a mechanical activation due to tableting. In conclusion the measured shrinking MCC tablets after tableting is caused by processes on a nanoscale level.     

Detailed Structural Examinations of Covalently Immobilized Gold Nanoparticles onto Hydrogen‐Terminated Silicon Surfaces

The modification of flat semiconductor surfaces with nanoscale materials has been the subject of considerable interest. This paper provides detailed structural examinations of gold nanoparticles covalently immobilized onto hydrogen‐terminated silicon surfaces by a convenient thermal hydrosilylation to form Si? C bonds. Gold nanoparticles stabilized by ω‐alkene‐1‐thiols with different alkyl chain lengths (C₃, C₆, and C₁₁), with average diameters of 2–3 nm and a narrow size distribution were used. The thermal hydrosilylation reactions of these nanoparticles with hydrogen‐terminated Si(111) surfaces were carried out in toluene at various conditions under N₂. The obtained modified surfaces were observed by high‐resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR‐SEM). The obtained images indicate considerable changes in morphology with reaction time, reaction temperature, as well as the length of the stabilizing ω‐alkene‐1‐thiol molecules. These surfaces are stable and can be stored under ambient conditions for several weeks without measurable decomposition. It was also found that the aggregation of immobilized particles on a silicon surface occurred at high temperature (> 100 °C). Precise XPS measurements of modified surfaces were carried out by using a Au–S ligand‐exchange technique. The spectrum clearly showed the existence of Si? C bonds. Cross‐sectional HR‐TEM images also directly indicate that the particles were covalently attached to the silicon surface through Si? C bonds.

Fractal analysis of carbon nanotube agglomerates obtained by chemical vapor decomposition of ethylene over nickel nanoparticles

Fractal geometry was used to describe the morphology of agglomerates of carbon nanotubes (CNT) obtained by the thermal decomposition of ethylene in the presence of water vapor over nickel nanoparticles. Analysis of the structure of the CNT by electron transmission and scanning microscopy showed that CNT agglomerates have fractal structure with fractal dimension D ₀ = 2.65±0.05 and their formation proceeds by the same mechanism regardless of the ethylene partial pressure.

The origin of the formation of cavities in galvanized coatings

The role of water‐soluble corrosion products on galvanized wires was examined. The samples used were industrial hot‐dip galvanized wires, which were exposed to the open air under all weather conditions for a relatively short time (6 and 12 months), in an urban environment close to the sea. The samples were studied by different methods, i.e. scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and optical microscopy (OM). Several phases were detected because of the galvanization procedure and the steel substrate. Furthermore, phases which were formed as a result of the reaction of zinc with the atmosphere were also detected. These were oxides like ZnO, carbonates like ZnCO₃ and hydrated Zn and Fe sulfates. Their presence influences the corrosion resistance of the wires, which finally, strongly depends on the solubility of the wires in water. The SO₄^2? compounds especially are very soluble and consequently are easily removed from the coating surface, leading to its degradation by the formation of cavities. In any case, their presence, even after a short period of exposure, implies that the coating is highly affected by the atmosphere of the modern city. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

渣油加氢处理前后沥青质的微观结构研究

采用元素分析、扫描电镜和透射电镜等分析方法对渣油原料中的沥青质、加氢处理后的沥青质及添加高芳香性轻循环油(LCO)反应后的沥青质进行对比研究。结果发现,渣油加氢处理前后沥青质的表面呈现出光滑表面和多孔的球形颗粒表面两种完全不同的形貌。渣油加氢前后沥青质的芳核堆砌表现出明显的长程无序局部有序的特征;加氢处理后的沥青质芳核片层易于堆砌,出现了多层堆砌、长程有序的类石墨结构。渣油中高芳香性LCO的添加有利于促进沥青质的加氢反应、改善沥青质芳核系统在渣油加氢处理过程中的聚集行为。
