ABSTRACTThe fractal structure of SiO2 - ZrO2 mixed aerogel prepared for catalytic purpose is investigated using morphological statistical methods, small angle X-ray scattering and N2 adsorption-desorption measurements. These three methods provide a description of the aerogel structure over several decades.

The evolution of microstructure of cerium oxide nanoparticles prepared in a sol-gel process was investigated by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements, in which the range of annealing temperature was from 298 K to 973 K in air. It was found that their scattering intensities increased dramatically and was proportional to h-a as the temperature went up to 873 K. Meanwhile, the average radius of gyration Rg, increased. This suggested that these cerium oxide nanoparticles have self-similar structure behavior or mass fractal structure. When the temperature was higher than 873 K, the feature of the SAXS spectra became identical to that of the sactterers with surface fractal structure rather than the mass fractal structure.

We have directly observed the <i>in situ</i> self-assembly kinetics of polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) micelles by synchrotron time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering, equipped with a stopped-flow device that provides millisecond temporal resolution. This work has elucidated one general kinetic pathway for the process of PEC micelle formation, which provides useful physical insights for increasing our fundamental understanding of complexation and self-assembly dynamics driven by electrostatic interactions that occur on ultrafast timescales.
