Crystallization Kinetics of Functionalized Fe3O4/Ethylene-vinyl Acetate Copolymer Nanocomposites Adhesives

In the present paper, the crystallization behaviors of six different functional Fe₃O₄/ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer nanocomposite adhesives were studied. Crystal structures of the nanocomposite adhesives were characterized by wide-angle X-ray scattering, and the results showed that both functionalized and non-functionalized Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles had only a small influence on the crystal structure of EVA. The cystallization kinetics was investigated through differential scanning calorimetry. The Ozawa and Mo methods were applied to analyze the crystallization behaviors, and the nucleating effect was estimated through the Dobreva and Gutzow method. Finally, the crystallization energy barrier was studied by the Kissinger method.     

Mössbauer characterization of calcium–ferrite oxides prepared by calcining Fe2O3 and CaO

Calcium ferrite oxides were prepared by calcining a mixture powder of iron- and calcium oxide. The ⁵⁷Fe-Mössbauer spectra of the calcium ferrites oxides were measured, revealing that the products should be Ca₂Fe₂O₅ and CaFe₂O₄, the ratio of which was dependent of the Fe/Ca atomic ratio of the mixture powder.     

Large nonlinear optical properties of Fe2O3 nanoparticles

Nonlinear optical properties of Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles were investigated by the signal-beam Z-scan technique with Ar⁺ and Ne–He lasers. The largest reported effective nonlinear coefficient, n₂=−8.07×10⁻⁷ cm²/W, was obtained. It is demonstrated that the nonlinear optical response originals from quantum confinement effect.     

Chemical quenching of positronium in Fe2O3/Al2O3 catalysts

Fe₂O₃/Al₂O₃ catalysts were prepared by solid state reaction method using α-Fe₂O₃ and γ-Al₂O₃ nano powders. The microstructure and surface properties of the catalyst were studied using positron lifetime and coincidence Doppler broadening annihilation radiation measurements. The positron lifetime spectrum shows four components. The two long lifetimes τ₃ and τ₄ are attributed to positronium annihilation in two types of pores distributed inside Al₂O₃ grain and between the grains, respectively. With increasing Fe₂O₃ content from 3 wt% to 40 wt%, the lifetime τ₃ keeps nearly unchanged, while the longest lifetime τ₄ shows decrease from 96 ns to 64 ns. Its intensity decreases drastically from 24% to less than 8%. The Doppler broadening S parameter shows also a continuous decrease. Further analysis of the Doppler broadening spectra reveals a decrease in the p-Ps intensity with increasing Fe₂O₃ content, which rules out the possibility of spin-conversion of positronium. Therefore the decrease of τ₄ is most probably due to the chemical quenching reaction of positronium with Fe ions on the surface of the large pores.     

Effects of strontium on the characteristics of Pb(Zr1/2Ti1/2)O3--Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 ceramics

The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of pyrochlore-free lead zirconate titanate-lead zinc niobate ceramics were investigated systematically as a function of Sr doping. The powders of Pb_{(1? x )}Sr _x [0.7(Zr_{1 / 2}Ti_{1 / 2})–0.3(Zn_{1 / 3}Nb_{2 / 3})]O₃, where x?=?0–0.06 were prepared using the columbite-(wolframite) precursor method. The ceramic materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction, dielectric spectra, hysteresis and electromechanical measurements. The phase-pure perovskite phase of Sr-doped PZN--PZT ceramics was obtained over a wide compositional range. The results showed that the optimized electrical properties were also achieved at composition x?=?0.0, which were K _P?=?0.69, d ₃₃?=?670?pC?N^?1, P _r?=?31.9?µC?cm^?2 and ε_rmax?=?18600. Maximum dielectric constant values of the systems decreased rapidly with increasing Sr concentration. Moreover, with increasing Sr concentration dielectric constant versus temperature curves become gradually broader. The diffuseness parameter increased significantly with Sr doping. Furthermore, Sr doping has been shown to produce a linear reduction in the transition temperature (T _m)?=?294.1–12.7x°C with concentration (x). Sr shifts the transition temperature of this system at a rate of 12.7°C?mol^?1%.

Electromagnetic and mechanical properties of Fe3O4-coated amorphous carbon nanotube/polyvinyl chloride composites

Electromagnetic wave absorbing properties of absorbing composites depend on the dielectric and magnetic loss generally. In this paper, using Fe₃O₄-coated amorphous carbon nanotubes (ACNTs-Fe₃O₄) fabricated using a chemical synthesis–hydrothermal treatment method as an absorber and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as a matrix, electromagnetic and mechanical properties of ACNT-Fe₃O₄/PVC composite were investigated. The results showed that the dielectric and magnetic losses of ACNT-Fe₃O₄/PVC composite were significantly enhanced in 8.2–12.4 GHz compared to ACNT/PVC composite, which improved absorbing properties, while slightly changing the mechanical properties.     

Preparation of Bi2Fe4O9 particles by hydrothermal synthesis and functional properties

In the present study, particles with different Bi₂Fe₄O₉ micro/nanostructures with a few particular morphologies (flower-like nanoplatelets, hierarchical microstructures, perfectly square platelets single crystals, etc.) obtained under specific hydrothermal synthesis conditions were investigated. The role of the processing parameters (such as NaOH concentration, reaction temperature, and reaction duration time) on the phase formation mechanism and on the microstructural characteristics was investigated. All the Bi₂Fe₄O₉ morphologies showed orthorhombic symmetry with space group Pbam. The photocatalytic properties and magnetic behavior as a function of the micro/nanostructural characteristics of various Bi₂Fe₄O₉ powders were determined. In the presence of Bi₂Fe₄O₉, a degradation rate of Rose Bengal in the range of 52–61% was determined after 180?min under UV light irradiation (λ?=?254?nm). Magnetic activity with antiferromagnetic behavior and a transition at ～240?K slightly dependent on the microstructures was found. The role of Bi₂Fe₄O₉ microstructures in the photocatalytic activity and magnetic properties was discussed.     

Rotational dependences of line half-widths for CO and CO2 confined in SiO2/Al2O3 xerogel

The absorption spectra of CO and CO₂ confined in nanopores of SiO₂/Al₂O₃ xerogel have been measured using a Bruker IFS-125 HR Fourier spectrometer. Dependences of the half-width values on rotational quantum numbers and the line shift mean values are studied and compared with the data available in literature. Possible causes which can affect the rotational dependences are discussed.     

Surface Modification of Al2O3 Fiber with Binary Nanoparticles using a Dry-Mechanical Coating Technique

Integrating materials with different functionalities into a composite material to obtain synergetic properties has generated considerable interest in various scientific and technical fields. In this study, a dry-mechanical coating process was used to fix nanosized Al₂O₃ and CuO particles directly onto the surface of Al₂O₃ fiber substrates by employing high shear and compression forces. The resulting composite materials showed good dispersion and homogeneous distribution of Al₂O₃ and CuO nanoparticles. Important coating parameters, including initial particle loadings and processing times were investigated for their effects on coating characteristics and product properties. The experimental results showed that the product surface area increased with higher nanoparticle loadings. The degree of dispersion and homogenous distribution of Al₂O₃ nanoparticles with CuO nanoparticles increased with the processing time. Additionally, the crystalline phase of raw materials was preserved during the coating process under the conditions studied in this work.     

Ion-Polymer Interactions in SmCl3(H2O)6 Doped Poly(ethylene oxide) Electrolytes

Pure and SmCl₃(H₂O)₆ doped poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) samples were prepared using a solvent casting method. These samples were characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential scanning colorimetry (DSC) techniques. The FTIR spectra indicate that, only at low dopant concentrations, the interactions between Sm³⁺ and ether oxygen atoms in PEO are dominant. As the dopant concentration increases, these interactions result in the formation of dopant aggregates or agglomerates leading to a phase separation into a polymer-rich phase and a dopant-rich phase in the films, which have been confirmed by XRD and DSC results.     

Iron ions in ZSM-5 zeolite: Fe3+ in framework, Fe2+ in extra-framework positions in catalytic N2O decomposition

Fe-ZSM-5 samples containing a combination of ⁵⁷Fe³⁺ in framework (FW) and regular iron in extra-framework (EFW) sites were prepared by introducing ⁵⁷Fe in hydrothermal synthesis, then exchanging Fe²⁺ of natural isotope composition into the lattice. The stability for one part of Fe²⁺ and Fe²⁺ ? Fe³⁺ reversibility for the other part in catalytic decomposition of N₂O is demonstrated by in situ Mössbaer measurements. Formation of dinuclear Fe_FW–O–Fe_EFW pairs is not prevailing.     

Preparation and characterization of visible light responsive Fe2O3-TiO2 composites

In this study we present the effects of iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) on titanium dioxide (TiO₂) in synthesising visible-light reactive photocatalysts. A Fe₂O₃-TiO₂ composite photocatalyst was synthesized from Fe₂(SO₄)₃ and Ti(SO₄)₂ by a ethanol-assisted hydrothermal method. The preparation conditions were optimized through the investigation of the effects of hydrothermal temperature and time as well as molar ratio of Ti to Fe on the photocatalytic activity. The visual, physical and chemical properties of the Fe₂O₃-TiO₂ composites were investigated. The results showed that α-Fe₂O₃ and anatase TiO₂ were present in the composites. The Fe₂O₃-TiO₂ synthesized under optimum condition consisted of mesoporous structure with an average pore size of 4 nm and a surface area of 43 m²/g. Under visible and solar light irradiation, the photocatalytic activity of optimized sample was significantly higher than that of pure TiO₂. This sample led to a photodegradation efficiency of 90% and 40% of auramine under visible light and solar light, respectively.     

Structural, electrical and gas-sensing properties of In2O3 : Ag composite nanoparticle layers

The central objective of this study is to investigate (i) size-dependent properties of In₂O₃ nanoparticles and (ii) the role of metal additives in enhancing the gas sensing response. For this purpose, In₂O₃ : Ag composite nanoparticle layers having welldefined individual nanoparticle size and composition have been grown by a two step synthesis method. Thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy have been used to study the effect of post-synthesis heat treatment on the size and structure of the nanoparticles. A first-time unambiguous observation of sizedependent lowering of transformation temperature has been explained in terms of lower cohesive energy of surface atoms and increase in surface-to-volume ratio with decrease in nanoparticle size. The gas sensing studies of In₂O₃ as well as the In₂O₃ : Ag composite nanoparticle layers have been studied as a function of size and composition. In₂O₃: Ag composite nanoparticle layers with 15% silver show a sensitivity of 436 and response time of 6 s for 1000 ppm of ethanol in air. Ag additives form a p-type Ag₂O, which interact with n-type In₂O₃ to produce an electron-deficient space-charge layer. In the presence of ethanol, interfacial Ag₂O reduces to Ag, creating an accumulation layer in In₂O₃ resulting in increased sensitivity     

Thermoluminescence of Chromium Doped Cd2Nb2O7 Crystals

The exposure of the Cd₂Nb₂O₇:Cr crystal to monochromatic light with wavelength shorter than 600 nm at 12 K decreases the Cr^3? photoluminescence emission and allows us to observe thermoluminescence within 60–200 K during subsequent heating of the crystal at a rate of 0.077 K/s. The glow curve of thermoluminescence revealed a rather complex structure with two pronounced intensive glow peaks at 91 and 180 K and four rather weak peaks at 99, 117, 132, and 155K. An analysis of the glow peaks by “an initial rise” gave evidence of many various charge carrier traps with activation energies from 150 to 470 meV. Since a comparison of the thermoluminescence and photoluminescence emission spectra showed that these spectra are identical, it was concluded that the thermoluminescence glow peaks are associated with thermal release of charge carriers from shallow traps followed by Cr^4?→Cr^3?(²E) and/or Cr^2?→Cr^3?(²E) charge capture and ²E→⁴A₂ radiative decay of Cr^3?(²E) ions.     

Subsolidus phase relation in the Bi_2O_3–Fe_2O_3–La_2O_3 system

Synthesis of spherical LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 cathode materials for Li-ion batteries

Spherical LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ was successfully prepared by controlled crystallization. The preparation started with the spherical coprecipitate of Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3CO₃ from NiSO₄, CoSO₄, MnSO₄, NH₄HCO₃, and NH₃·H₂O, followed by pyrolysis of Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3CO₃ at 600°C for 3 h. The X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the homogeneous cubic (Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3)₃O₄ was obtained after the pyrolysis. Spherical LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ was obtained by sintering of the mixture of as-obtained (Ni_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3)₃O₄ and LiOH·H₂O at 900°C for 6 h in air. As-prepared spherical LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ presented initial discharge capacity of 162.9 mA h g⁻¹ and capacity retention of 98% at 50th cycle.     

Particle Sampling and Real Time Size Distribution Measurement in H2/O2/TEOS Diffusion Flame

Growth characteristics of silica particles have been studied experimentally using in situ particle sampling technique from H₂/O₂/Tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) diffusion flame with carefully devised sampling probe. The particle morphology and the size comparisons are made between the particles sampled by the local thermophoretic method from the inside of the flame and by the electrostatic collector sampling method after the dilution sampling probe. The Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) image processed data of these two sampling techniques are compared with Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS) measurement. TEM image analysis of two sampling methods showed a good agreement with SMPS measurement. The effects of flame conditions and TEOS flow rates on silica particle size distributions are also investigated using the new particle dilution sampling probe. It is found that the particle size distribution characteristics and morphology are mostly governed by the coagulation process and sintering process in the flame. As the flame temperature increases, the effect of coalescence or sintering becomes an important particle growth mechanism which reduces the coagulation process. However, if the flame temperature is not high enough to sinter the aggregated particles then the coagulation process is a dominant particle growth mechanism. In a certain flame condition a secondary particle formation is observed which results in a bimodal particle size distribution.
