Boron trifluoride (BF3) doped tetraaniline with novel structure were successfully synthesized via two step method. In the first step, emeraldine base form tetraaniline was synthesized via oxidative chemical polymerization of N-phenyl-1, 4-phenylenediamine using ammonium persulphate as oxidant. In the second step involves control BF3doping of tetraaniline using boron trifluoride etherate. As synthesized BF3doped tetraaniline have been well characterized by UV-Visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetry. Thermogravimetry studies revealed that the BF3doping improved the thermal stability of tetraaniline.

In this study, we propose a novel conducting and soluble polyaniline salt prepared by chemical polymerization in the presence of new doping agent (IAs). This last is prepared by sulphonation of itaconic acid (IA) with concentrated sulphuric acid in THF. The obtained doped polyaniline (PANI-IAs) is extremely soluble in dimethyl sulfoxyde (DMSO) at room temperature, in which the solubility reach 44 mg mL-1. The conductivity measurement of doped polyaniline powder precipitated in THF as dispersing medium gave a value of 0.13 S cm-1 when the emeraldine base form of polyaniline is fully protonated. The polyaniline salt sample is characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction, UV-Visible spectra and FTIR spectra.

An effort to improve the solubility of albendazole (ABZ), an anthelmintic drug has been successfully carried out through the formation of multicomponent crystal with dl-malic acid (MAL). Construction of phase solubility curve of ABZ in MAL solution and crystal morphological observations after recrystallization in the acetone-ethanol (9:1) mixture were performed for initial prediction of multicomponent crystal formation. ABZ-MAL multicomponent crystal was prepared by wet grinding or also known as solvent-drop grinding (SDG) with acetone-ethanol (9:1) mixture as a solvent followed by characterization of the multicomponent crystal formation by powder X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) methods. The solubility of ABZ-MAL multicomponent crystal was tested in water at ambient temperature and in pH 1.2, 4.5 and 6.8 of buffered solutions at 37°C. The phase solubility curve of the ABZ in the MAL solution showed type Bs. The ABZ-MAL mixture has a different crystalline morphology than pure ABZ and MAL after recrystallization in the acetone-ethanol mixture (9:1). The powder X-ray diffraction pattern and the FTIR spectrum of ABZ-MAL from SDG different from intact ABZ and MAL powder X-ray diffraction patterns and these results can indicate the ABZ-MAL multicomponent crystal formation. The ABZ-MAL multicomponent crystal has better solubility than pure ABZ in all media used. These results can be concluded that ABZ-MAL multicomponent crystal can be prepared by solvent-drop grinding method with acetone-ethanol (9:1) mixture as a solvent and can increase the solubility of albendazole.

Spinel oxides with the composition ZnCo2O4 and ZnCo2O4:Eu3+ have been synthesized by the Pechini method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy. IR spectroscopy revealed the presence of n1 and n2 bands, typical of spinel structures. The formation of monophase cubic spinel structure was confirmed by X-ray diffraction patterns. Extra lines corresponding to other phase has been observed in the powders calcined at 900 ºC. The results showed the extremely lower synthesis temperature than those presents in conventional methods.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the organogelation potential of tallow fat (TF) and partially hydrolyzed tallow fat (HTF) against saturated monoglyceride (MG) and a saturated monoglyceride + diglyceride mixture (MDG) as the organogelators. TF itself created oleogel at a 30% addition level, while HTF, MG and MDG oleogels were prepared at 10% addition levels. Fatty acid composition data showed that the oleogel of HTF (HTFO) was quite similar to those of MG and MDG oleogels. Solid fat content, free fatty acidity and peroxide values were found to be in acceptable ranges for HTFO. Thermal properties, crystal morphology and X-ray diffraction patterns were also evaluated. Rheological analyses indicated that all oleogels had higher storage modulus (G´) than loss modulus (G´´). The time-sweep test showed that after applying higher shear rates, the gels re-formed at rest. Further, all oleogels maintained their gelled consistency until around 54 °C. The results suggest that HTF could be a cheap, efficient, fast melting, safe and readily available organogelator.

ABSTRACTBulk GaN crystals of dimensions 8.5 mm × 8.5 mm were grown at growth rates greater than 200μm/hr using Gallium Vapor Transport technique. GaN powder and Ammonia were used as the precursors for growing bulk GaN. Nitrogen is used as the carrier gas to transport the Ga vapor that was obtained from the decomposition of GaN powder. During the process, the source GaN powder was kept at 1155°C and the seed at 1180°C. Using this process, it was possible to achieve growth rates of above 200 microns/hr. The GaN layers thus obtained were characterized using X-Ray diffraction [XRD], scanning electron microscopy [SEM], and atomic force microscopy [AFM]. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the grown GaN layers are single crystals oriented along c direction. AFM studies indicated that the dominant growth mode was dislocation mediated spiral growth. Electrical and Optical characterization were also performed on these samples. Hall mobility measurements indicated a mobility of 550 cm2/V.s and a carrier concentration of 6.67 × 1018/cm3

The impact of the incorporation of graphene nanoplatelets (GN) on the properties of hydroxyl-terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) matrices was investigated. The composites were prepared by solution mixing, using tetrahydrofuran (THF) as a solvent. Brookfield viscosimetry, implemented during the vulcanization process, revealed that GN increases the viscosity of the system, compared to pristine PDMS, proportionally to its concentration. X-ray diffraction patterns suggested an efficient dispersion of GN in the polysiloxane matrix. The D and G bands ratio (ID/IG) calculation, based on RAMAN spectra of GN/PDMS specimens, revealed more defects in graphene nanoplatelets when incorporated in the PDMS matrix. By differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), a marginal increase in crystallization, glass transition and melting temperatures of PDMS in GN/PDMS composites was observed. Improvement of the thermal stability of LMW PDMS composites, especially for higher GN concentrations (3 and 5 phr), was noticed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Additionally, GN enhanced the tensile strength of composites, up to 73% for the 3 phr GN/LMW PDMS composite. A significant increase in the elongation at break was recorded, whereas no effect on the modulus of elasticity was recorded. The decrease in toluene-swelling, for the LMW PDMS matrix composites, was attributed to the increase in the tortuosity path because of the efficient dispersion of GN. A decrease in oxygen permeability of 55–65% and 44–58% was measured in membranes made of PDMS composites containing 0.5 phr and 1 phr GN, respectively. Dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS) measurements recorded a significant increase in the conductivity of the higher graphene content composites.

Methyl ammonium lead iodide CH3NH3PbI3 Perovskite was synthesized by a new method mixing between one and two steps, in addition, the ethanol solvent was used to dissolve CH3NH3I and compared with isopropanol solvent. The characterizations of synthesized perovskite samples included the structural properties, morphological characteristics and optical properties. The intensity and orientation in X-ray diffraction patterns appear clearly in ethanol solvent while disappearing at a peak at 12o due to the speed reaction of perovskite in this solvent. Additionally, the ethanol solvent increasing the grain size of perovskite which homogeneity of the surface morphology. the ethanol solvent cause a decrease in the wavelength of absorbance edge in addition to an increase in the energy bandgap value. Keywords: Ethanol Solvent, Perovskite, Photovoltaic Technologies, X-ray diffraction.

Raman microprobe, ICP, and XRF techniques have been applied to characterize the solids precipitated from HNO3 solutions containing Zr and Mo under different solution conditions. The saturation yields of precipitation decrease linearly—in almost all cases—with increasing acid strength, and nearly complete precipitation of Mo occurs in 3-M HNO3 solutions; ionic strength does not seem to affect the yields. Raman spectra of the microparticles indicate that hydrated zirconium molybdate is the main product, except in solutions with large excess of Mo relative to Zr. Identification of the species formed in these solutions is made by comparison of the Raman spectra with the spectra of known compounds. X-ray diffraction patterns of hydrated and thermally treated zirconium molybdate are in accord with the reported crystallographic data.

Characterization of some crystalline species present in atmospheric particulate matter can be investigated by an X-ray diffractometric technique. According to the analytical strategy, filtering media suitable for collecting airborne particles must be selected. In order to recognize the X-ray diffraction patterns and consequently the inherent analytical interference of filtering media, a systematic X-ray diffraction evaluation of several substrates was performed. Although artifact formation during ambient sampling can occur on quartz and glass fiber filters, these filters were also included in the diffractometric characterization. In this work, commercial filters were thermally treated and submitted to X-ray diffraction scanning. Results have shown pronounced variations in the diffractometric profiles of each thermally treated substrate. The selection criteria for choosing the filtering media was established by considering their chemical and physical properties and also the crystalline species to be collected on them.
