Composites of polypropylene/Acylonitrile butadiene rubber/Rice husk powder/ (PP/NBRr/RHP) with and without trans-polyoctylene rubber (TOR) were prepared, and the effects of trans-polyoctylene rubber were investigated. By using rice husk powder of 150300μm, five different compositions of PP/NBRr/RHP composites (i.e.100/0, 80/20, 70/30, 60/40 and 40/60 phr) were prepared in an internal mixer at 180 °C and 50 rpm rotor speed. The results indicate that the incorporation of TOR improved the tensile properties of PP/NBRr/RHPcomposites. Scanning electron microscopy of the fractured surfaces proved that TOR promoted good adhesion between the PP-NBRr matrices and RHP.Keywords: Polypropylene; Trans-polyoctylene rubber; Rice husk powder; Acrylonitrile Butadiene rubber; composite

This paper describes the details on synthesizing nanocrystalline Gd2BaCuO5 (Gd211) using low-temperature combustion synthesis(LCS). The morphology and structure of the powders are characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and XRD. The size of obtained powders by this method calcined at 800 C is about 100nm, which is much smaller than the powders synthesizing by conventional solid state route. Besides, the Gd211 powders synthesizing by LCS have a low calcination temperature with a high-purity. The microstructure of melt-textured samples is also observed by FESEM, the result shows that the size of Gd211 particles trapped in GdBa2Cu3O7 (Gd123) matrix could be refined by using ultrafine Gd211 powder as a precursor. The refined Gd211 particles with a good distribution resulted in the improvement of Jc values in this system.

Nanocellulose (NCC) is incorporated into nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) latex with the composition 0 to 5 phr using dipping method. Mechanical properties of NBR/NCC composites using tensile test was used to characterize their mechanical performance and the fracture surfaces post tensile test were studied. The tensile strength of NBR/NCC composites increase significantly with the addition of nanocellulose. This could be anticipated due to the presence of Van der Waals interaction between hydrophilic natures of nanocellulose with hydrophobic of NBR consequently limits the tearing propagation. The result was supported with the fracture surfaces morphology viewed under Fourier Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM).

Polystyrene encapsulated phosphors SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+ were prepared by dispersing the phosphors into the matrix of polystyrene. The phase, morphology and optical properties of the polystyrene encapsulated phosphors were characterized with X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, respectively. It has been observed that both the PL spectrum and the luminescent color of the polystyrene encapsulated phosphors can be dramatically modified although the phosphorescence of the polystyrene encapsulated phosphors is not affected. Tunable photoluminescent colors from green to deep-blue are expected for the polystyrene encapsulated phosphors by the control of the weight percentage of the phosphors in the composites.

Scanning electron microscopy was used to examine the morphology, ultrastructure, and distribution of antennal sensilla of the stink bug Arma chinensis. Two types of sensilla trichodea (ST1–2), four types of sensilla basiconica (SB 1– 4), one type of sensilla chaetica (SCH), one type of sensilla cavity (SCA) and one type of sensilla coeloconica (SCO) were distinguished on the antennae in both sexes. ST1 and ST2 were absent from the scape and pedicel. SB1 were absent from the scape. SB2 were distributed throughout the antennae. SB3 were located on the second pedicel and the two flagellomeres. SB4 were absent from the second flagellomere. SCH was observed on the second pedicel and the two flagellomeres. SCA and SCO occurred only on the second flagellomere. SB1 clusters occurred on the distal part of the second flagellomere. We compared the morphology and structure of these sensilla to other Heteroptera and discuss their possible functions.

The nanocomposites of polypropylene (PP)/graphene were prepared by melt blending. The effects of the dosage of graphene on the flow and mechanical properties of the nanocomposites were investigated. The morphologies of fracture surfaces were characterized through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The graphene simultaneous enhanced tensile and impact properties of nanocomposites. A 3.22% increase in tensile strength, 39.8% increase in elongation at break, and 26.7% increase in impact strength are achieved by addition of only 1 wt.% of graphene loading. The morphological behavior indicates the fracture surface of PP/graphene is more rough than that of pure PP.

Gallium nitride ( GaN ): nanostructured materials are synthesized by ammoniating Ga2O3/Nb films which are deposited in turn on Si(111) substrates at 900°C. The morphology and structure of the nanostructured materials are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Optical property of GaN nanostructured materials are analyzed by photoluminescence (PL). The results demonstrated that as-synthesized nanostructured materials are hexagonal wurtzite-structured. Ammoniating time of the samples has an evident influence on the morphology of GaN nanostructured materials synthesized by this method. The PL spectra indicate good emission property for the nanostructured materials. Finally, the growth mechanism is also briefly discussed.
