The super-tough bio-based nylon was prepared by melt extrusion. In order to improve the compatibility between bio-based nylon and elastomer, the elastomer POE was grafted with maleic anhydride. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) were used to study the compatibility and micro-distribution between super-tough bio-based nylon and toughened elastomers. The results of mechanical strength experiments show that the 20% content of POE-g-MAH has the best toughening effect. After toughening, the toughness of the super-tough nylon was significantly improved. The notched impact strength was 88 kJ/m2 increasing by 1700%, which was in line with the industrial super-tough nylon. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were used to study the crystallization behavior of bio-based PA56, and the effect of bio-based PA56 with high crystallinity on mechanical properties was analyzed from the microstructure.

<p>An energetic co-crystal consisting of the most promising military explosive 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) and the most well-known oxidant applied in propellants ammonium perchlorate has been prepared with a simple solvent evaporation method. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the morphology of co-crystal differs greatly from each component. The X-ray diffraction spectrum, FTIR, Raman spectra, and differential scanning calorimetry characterisation further prove the formation of the co-crystal. The result of determination of hygroscopic rate indicated the hygroscopicity was effectively reduced. At last, the crystallisation mechanism has been discussed.</p>

ABSTRACTMagnesium carbon nanocomposites for hydrogen storage have been synthesized by ball milling with different amount of benzene, acting as a lubricant. Their microstructure has been studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, while the hydrogen desorption temperature has been tested by differential scanning calorimetry. Experimental results show that the microstructure after milling, the hydrogenation capabilities of the material and the reactivity with the air are related to the amount of additives. In particular the carbon to benzene ratio seems to play a major role. In fact, with an optimum value of carbon to benzene weight ratio of 1/6, the amount of carbon being 15 wt% of the milled mixture, a decomposition heat equal to 57% of pure MgH2 was measured, even after air manipulation of the sample.

A completely biodegradable composite was fabricated from an herbal polymer, soy protein concentrate (SPC) resin. Soy protein was modified by adding 30 wt% of glycerol and 5 wt% of poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) to enhance its mechanical as well as thermal property. 3%, 5%, 10%, and 20% nanoclay (NC) were infused into the system. To evaluate its mechanical properties, crystallinity, thermal properties, bonding interaction, and morphological evaluation, tensile, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) tests, and optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) evaluation were performed. Tensile tests showed that the addition of nanoclay improved the mechanical properties of the modified resin. Soy protein is hydrophilic due to the presence of amino acids that contain various polar groups such as amine, carboxyl, and hydroxyl. As a result, polar nanoclay particles that are exfoliated can be evenly dispersed in the SPC resin. From experimental results, it is clear that adding of nanoclay with SPC resin significantly increased the stiffness of the SPC resin. A combination of 5% clay, 30% glycerol, and 5% PVA with the modified SPC resulted in the maximum stress of 18 MPa and Young modulus of 958 MPa. The modified SPC showed a reduced failure strain as well. X-ray diffraction curves showed an improvement of crystallinity of the prepared resin with increasing amount of nanoclay. Interaction among soy, glycerol, PVA, and nanoclay was clearly demonstrated from the FTIR analysis. Optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs revealed rougher surface in the nanoclay infused SPC samples compared to that of the neat one. SEM evaluation revealed rougher fracture surface in the NC infused samples.

We have synthesized large scale, thin, transparent graphene oxide (GO) flakes by Hummer’s method and investigated their suitability for fabrication of transparent nanocomposites. The GO flakes were comprehensively characterized by X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), Raman spectroscopy and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). X-ray diffraction displayed the peak of graphene oxide at 9°degree, which is characteristic peak of GO in agreement with the literature results. Scanning Electron Microscopy images revealed that thin, transparent, flake form GO with 14,8 µm lateral size and 0,31µm thickness were synthesized. The comparison with literature results show that for the first time, our group could synthesize large scale, thin and more transparent GO flakes by simple Hummer’s method using simple dispersed graphite. EDX measurements indicate the formation of layered structure with oxygen containing functional groups. The intensity ratio between D and G peaks in the Raman spectra proves that less defective GO flakes have been synthesized. The solution ability of the synthesized material indicate that high quality GO flakes were synthesized, which make them effective soluble material due to oxygen containing groups formed on the graphene plane during synthesis process.DSC results shows that these flakes are thermally stable till 200°C.  Due to high solubility properties, large scale and transparency they can be very useful in fabrication of high optical transparent nanocompoties for replacement indium tin oxide transparent conductors in solar panels, biomedical applications and microwave absorbers for electromagnetic interference (EMI) environmental protection.

Laser cladding experiment was carried out with a 5 kW continuous wave CO2 laser by preplacing Ni75Si25 and Ni78Si13Ti9 powders onto Ni-based superalloy substrate. The microstructure of the specimens was monitored by using optical and scanning electron microscopy. The chemical compositions of the alloys and their phases were obtained using X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. The phase transformation temperatures were determined by non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry tests. The microhardness of the laser cladded sample was measured.

The crystallizing phases from a BaZn YbTh fluoride glass were a BaYbTh fluoride, ZnF2, and YbF3, as identified with x-ray diffraction and composition-enhanced scanning electron microscopy. Blocky BaYbTh fluoride crystallizes first, at about 450 °C, and ZnF2 excluded from this phase crystallizes at its surfaces. At higher temperatures the BaYbTh fluoride phase decomposes partially to BaThF6 and YbF3 phases. The kinetics and temperatures of crystallization were also followed with differential scanning calorimetry.

A series of soy protein/kaolin nanocomposites have been successfully prepared via solution mixing and then extrusion. The structure and the properties of the nanocomposite plastics were characterized by wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), water uptake as well as mechanical testing. WAXD revealed that the nano-sized kaolin filler in soy protein matrix retained the original structure as the pristine kaolin. In view of the results of SEM, kaolin distributed in the protein matrix homogeneously and exhibited fine adhesion with soy protein. The incorporation of kaolin into glycerol-plasticized soy protein led to great improvements of mechanical and water resistant properties. The thermal stability was also enhanced by the incorporation of kaolin as revealed by TGA characterization.
