In this study, the influence of type and amount of organoclay in the morphology of the polymer blend PP/EPDM is evaluated. Pure and filled mixtures were prepared by melt intercalation in an internal mixer. The morphology of the hybrids was evaluated by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the incorporation of the organophyllic clay to the PP/EPDM blend resulted in new interfacial interactions between components, which contributed to a decrease in the size of the dispersed phase and the compatibility of the blends. Therefore, organoclays may be employed to compatibilize polymeric blends, replacing conventional compatibilizers.

Fibri-form silica was extracted from short chrysotile fibers by mix-roasting with ammonium bisulfate. The fibri-form silica were characterized by X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and N2 adsorption isotherms. The results show that the fibri-form silica with disordered crystalline structure, but also in fibrous morphology. The surface area and pore volume of fibri-form silica are 181.66 m2/ g and 0.44 cc/ g, respectively. The structure of fibri-form silica is stable, no phase transformed from 50 to 1200 oC.

В работе рассматриваются факторы, влиющие на максимальное выделение концентрата лантана и церия из отработанного катализатора крекинга по фторидной технологии. Их содержание в отработанном катализаторе крекинга сопоставимо в содержанием в промышленно перерабатываемых рудах. Используются в качестве вскрывающих агентов серной кислоты и фторида аммония. Использованы такие методы, как ИК-спектроскопия, рентгенофлуоресцентный анализ, сканирующая электронная микроскопия. В результате получен концентрат лантаноидов, которые содержатся в виде фторидов. Концентрация лантаноидов возрастает в несколько раз. The article discusses the factors influencing the maximum release of lanthanum and cerium concentrate from a spent cracking catalyst using fluoride technology. Their content in the spent cracking catalyst is comparable to the content in industrially processed ores. They are used as the opening agents of sulfuric acid and ammonium fluoride. Methods such as IR spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence analysis, scanning electron microscopy were used. As a result, a concentrate of lanthanides was obtained, which are contained in the form of fluorides. The concentration of lanthanides increases several times.

Calcium is an important element in the growth and development of plants and one form of calcium is calcium oxalate. Calcium oxalate has been found in leaf seed, stem material plant tissue culture, fungi and lichen using one or more of the following methods—polarized light microscopy (PLM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffraction.Two methods are presented here for qualitatively estimating calcium oxalate in dried or fixed tobacco (Nicotiana) leaf from different stalk positions using PLM. SEM, coupled with energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS), and powder x-ray diffraction were used to verify that the crystals observed in the dried leaf with PLM were calcium oxalate.

During hibernation the ground squirrel is immobile, body temperature reduced and metabolism depressed. Hibernation has been shown to affect dental tissues varying degrees, although not much work has been done in this area. In limited studies, it has been shown that hibernation results in (1) mobilization of bone minerals; (2) deficient dentinogenesis and degeneration of alveolar bone; (3) presence of calculus and tears in the cementum; and (4) aggrevation of caries and pulpal and apical tooth abscesses. The purpose of this investigation was to study the effects of hibernation on dental tissues employing scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and related x-ray analyses.

High resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDXA) were performed to investigate microparticles in blended cements and their hydration products containing sodium-rich chemical wastes. The physical appearance of powder particles and the morphological development at different hydration stages were characterized by using high resolution SEM Hitachi S-900 and by SEM S-800 with a EDX spectrometer. Microparticles were dispersed on the sample holder and glued by 1% palomino solution. Hydrated bulk samples were dehydrated by acetone and mounted on the holder by silver paste. Both fracture surfaces and flat cutting sections of hydrating samples were prepared and examined. Some specimens were coated with an 3 nm thick Au-Pd or Cr layer to provide good conducting surfaces. For high resolution SEM S-900 observations the accelerating voltage of electrons was 1-2 KeV to protect the electron charging. Microchemical analyses were carried out by S800/EDS equipped with a LINK detector of take-off angle =40°.
