ABSTRACTIn order to better understand the micrometer-scale structure of rock and its transport properties which arise from it, seven monomineral samples from two sites (Olkiluoto and Sievi, Finland) were studied with micro- and nanotomography and scanning electron microscopy. From the veined gneiss of Olkiluoto we studied biotite, potassium feldspar, plagioclase (composition of oligoclase) and cordierite, and from Sievi tonalite biotite and two grains of plagioclase (albite). These minerals were the main minerals of these samples. Samples were carefully separated and selected using heavy liquid separation and stereomicroscopy, their three dimensional structure was imaged using X-ray tomography, and their precise mineral composition was determined using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). The micrometer-scale mineral structure of these samples was observed together with their pores and fissures, and alteration effects were identified whenever applicable. Nanotomography combined with SEM analysis was concluded to be a good tool for analyzing effects of alteration in monomineral samples.

AbstractWe studied wear resistance in sliding by multiple scratching along the same groove for a variety of thermoplastics: polystyrene, styrene-acrylonitrile, polyamide 6 and polysulfone. Constant-load experiments were carried out with a micro scratch tester for several loads between 2.5 and 15 N; each time 15 scratches were performed. Except for polystyrene, all materials show an asymptotic residual depth as a function of the number of scratch tests performed. In contrast to other materials, polystyrene exhibits brittleness and debris formation. Scanning electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopy were used to characterize the deformation and wear mechanisms and were connected to the wear data obtained by multiple scratching. At 15 N we found a viscoelastic recovery for polystyrene of 27.8% while for polyamide 6 the corresponding value is 80.2%.

The three-dimensional structure of the nucleus ta meristematic and differentiated phloem ray parenchyma cells of shortleaf pine (<i>Pinus echinata</i> Mili.) is viewed by scanning electron microscopy. The fixed and dehydrated plant tissues were freeze-fractured in absolute ethanol and dried by the critical point method. Some of the features observed in the fractured nuclei are aggregates of chromatin some of which possess a spiral orientation, the attachment of chromatin to the nuclear envelope, and small canals in the fractured envelope probably representing nuclear pores.
