ABSTRACTBoron carbide is a ceramic material with excellent high temperature physical properties. As compared to conventional techniques, the preparation of boron carbide from polymeric precursors is attractive as this technique offers a number of unique advantages. In this paper, the screening of polymeric precursors to boron carbide will be discussed. Two promising boron carbide, carborane containing polymeric precursors have resulted in 60-70 wt.% ceramic yields. The chemistry of polymer synthesis and the transformations from the polymer to amorphous and crystalline boron carbide were investigated with infrared spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and x ray diffraction.

Abstract This study focused on a detailed examination of the thermal behavior of Brushite-based calcium phosphate (CaHPO 4 .2H 2 O, DCPD) to identify and characterize the intermediate phases which have been the subject of previous several controversies. For that, in situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction supported by infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and scanning electron microscopy analysis were used and the results showed that the progressive thermal stress of DCPD in air resulted in a heterogeneous formulation consisting of dibasic calcium phosphate anhydrous (CaHPO 4 , DCPA) and an amorphous phase, which appears at low temperatures (~160 °C) and persists up to 375 °C. The deep examination of the amorphous phase by infrared spectroscopy revealed that its chemical composition is similar to that of disordered calcium pyrophosphate (Ca 2 P 2 O 7 , CPP) with the appearance of a characteristic band δ(P-O-P), located at 740 cm -1 . This IR band is shifted to low frequencies (725 cm -1 ) as the temperature is increased, indicating the crystallization of the amorphous phase into γ-CPP. The high temperature treatment (≥ 375 °C) leads to b-CPP polymorph. According to the present characterization results, obtaining pure DCPA from the thermal dehydration of DCPD is not effective and leads to biphasic materials including an amorphous phase.

Dilatometry, high-temperature x-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, and differential scanning calorirmetry have been performed on LaGaO3, NdGaO3, PrGaO3, SmAlO3, and LaAlO3 single crystals grown by the Czochralski technique. First order phase transitions have been located at 145°C for LaGaO3 and 785°C for SmAlO3, and ΔH has been measured for the LaGaO3 transition. Second order transitions have been identified for LaGaO3, PrGaO3, NdGaO3, and LaAlO3. The usefulness of these compounds as substrates for high temperature superconducting films is discussed in terms of thermal expansion matching.

Pure solutions of [ Rh (H2O)6]3+, dimer [Rh2(μ-OH)2(H2O)8]4+ and trimer [Rh3(μ-OH)4(H2O)10]5+ have been converted into their respective 'active' hydroxides by dropwise addition to an imidazole solution. These 'active' hydroxides have been analysed by a variety of techniques including rhodium determination, infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis and powder X-ray diffraction. Purity determinations using ion-exchange chromatography showed that the three hydroxides consist primarily of the neutral forms of the starting aqua ion (>96%) with small amounts of species with higher nuclearity. Rhodium analysis and thermogravimetric measurements confirmed the composition of these hydroxides to be Rh (OH)3(H2O)3.H2O, Rh2(μ-OH)2(OH)4(H2O)4 and Rh3(μ-OH)4(OH)5(H2O)5.5H2O. A scheme for the thermal decomposition of each of the hydroxides has been proposed on the basis of the t.g . and d.t.a . data and the knowledge that the final product in each case is α-Rh2O3. Heating of the hydroxides in air resulted in oxidation of RhIII to RhIV (temperature 250-300°C) forming RhO2 which on further heating decomposed to α-Rh2O3 and dioxygen.

ABSTRACTA carbothermal reaction process was employed to synthesize nano-sized boron carbide particles. The reactions were carried out by heating a mixture of boric oxide powder and amorphous carbon reactant under a flow of argon atmosphere in a conventional high temperature tube furnace at 1350–1700 °C for 1–4 h. In order to obtain stoichiometric powder product, additional pure boron powder was added to the reaction mixture to compensate for the boron loss in the form of B2O2/B2O3vapor during the reaction. The effect of the structure and morphology of the precursor materials on that of the products was also investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies indicated that the powdered product prepared under optimized reaction conditions was crystalline boron carbide. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations showed that the product nanoparticles ranged from 50 nm to 250 nm with the average size between 100 nm and 150 nm depending on the reaction conditions. Some boron carbide particles were as small as 50 nm. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) was also used to determine the stoichiometry of the boron carbide nanoparticle products.
