ABSTRACTProcessing of foams from bulk metallic glass (BMG) alloys, using melt infiltration techniques, is reported for the first time. Foaming methods based on infiltration of two types of pattern materials are described: investment of a continuous refractory yielding very low relative density structures (5% dense relative to the BMG), and investment of a discontinuous refractory pellet bed yielding higher relative density (50–60% dense relative to the BMG). Both methods are capable of producing foam structures; however high surface area and diminished thermal conductivity, especially in lower density structures, make vitrification of the alloy difficult.

Taking the wide band gap one-dimensional (1-D) tungsten oxide nanowires as an example, we here demonstrate systematically the physical characteristics of thermally processed nanowires at temperatures ranging from 400°C to 1000°C, for the first time. Accompanied by a significant drop of specific surface area from 151 m2/g for the as-prepared nanowires to 109 m2/g and 66 m2/g subject to annealing at 400°C and 450°C, dramatically morphology evolution and phase transformation have also been observed. The nanostructured bundles became straighter, larger in diameters and shorter in length, and eventually became irregular particles with size up to 5 µm. The Brunauer-Emmett-Tettler (BET) result suggests that 400°C can be considered as a top temperature limit in nanodevice design where high surface area is important, e.g. in gas sensors. A protocol for thermally processing of these bundled tungsten nanowires has been established.

Aqueous slurry with various solid loadings (up to 40 wt%) of alumina powder (D50 = 300 nm) with suitable rheological properties were spray dried into granules. Solid loading and feed rate of the slurry are found to have a prominent effect on the shape and size distribution of granules. Powder flow measurements exhibited a cohesive index of 28.45 signifying an extremely cohesive flow due to high surface area and irregular morphology. Finer sizes though it offers high geometrical surface area it leads to more surface contacts and hence, high interparticle friction. Spherical morphology achieved through optimum spray drying parameters significantly reduced the cohesive index to 6.45 indicating free flow behavior. Compaction studies of the spray-dried granules and corresponding plot of relative density versus compaction pressure revealed an agglomerate strength of 500 MPa followed by a plateau-like behavior reaching a maximum in the relative density of 59%-60% of the theoretical values.

Rare-earth (RE) analogues of UiO-66 with non-functionalised 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate linkers are synthesised for the first time, and a series of synthetic approaches is provided to troubleshoot the synthesis. RE-UiO-66 analogues are fully characterised, and demonstrate a high degree of crystallinity, high surface area and thermal stability, consistent with the UiO-66 archetype.

Novel extra-small Zn-MCM-41 mesoporous materials were successfully prepared following a straightforward synthesis route. The insertion of zinc as single site species was investigated for the first time using XPS via the Auger parameter in a Wagner plot representation. The XPS findings resulted in excellent agreement with IR analysis.
