With the development of science and technology and the ever-increasing focus of the environmental protection, waterborne acrylic resin based coating has been commonly used in a wide range of applications due to its high flexibility and good UV resistance. Continuous attempts have been extensively carried out to improve its corrosion resistance and mechanical properties through doping of different nanomaterials. In this study, Functionalized Graphene Oxide (FGO) nanosheets covalently bonded to hydroxylated acrylic resin was introduced into the Hydroxyacrylic Acid Dispersion (HAD) matrix to enhance the performance. To study the effect of grafted hydroxylated acrylic resin on morphology and properties of GO nanosheets, the GO and FGO nanosheets have been systematically characterized with various testing methods, such as FTIR, field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, UV–vis analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The morphology, physical–mechanical, and anti-corrosion properties of the HAD coatings doped with GO and FGO nanosheets have been compared. The results confirmed that FGO’s dispersion behavior in the HAD matrix has been improved after modifification with the hydroxylated acrylic resin, and the interfacial bonds between the HAD-FGO nanosheets have been significantly enhanced.

Corrosion to metal is a great challenge to major industries. Anticorrosive coatings can effectively prevent metal corrosion. In this study, we propose a novel method to prepare silica nanoparticles-covered graphene oxide (SiO2-GO) nanohybrids and anticorrosion SiO2-GO/waterborne polyurethane acrylic (WPUA) coatings. Firstly, we obtained silane-functionalized graphene oxide (A-GO) via a simple covalent functionalization of graphene oxide (GO) with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. Secondly, SiO2-GO was synthesized by a simple sol–gel method with tetraethoxysilane in water–alcohol solution. Finally, the obtained SiO2-GO nanofillers were added into WPUA to prepare SiO2-GO/WPUA coatings. GO, A-GO, and SiO2-GO nanohybrids could be confirmed by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectra, and transmission electron microscope. SiO2-GO nanohybrids showed small size compared with the unfunctionalized GO. Meanwhile, GO, A-GO, and SiO2-GO nanofillers were added into WPUA. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscope indicate that SiO2-GO nanohybrids can be homogeneously dispersed in the WPUA coatings at 0.4% loading level and the SiO2-GO/WPUA film exhibits excellent anticorrosion performance. SiO2-GO nanoparticles can effectively utilize in the area of anticorrosive nanofiller industry. This study provides a convenient method of anticorrosive coating production.

AbstractThe present study reports the novel synthesis of Zinc nanoparticles (Zn NPs) by thermal decomposition method and its characterisation by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), and X-ray Diffraction Measurements (XRD). Synthesis of Zn NPs was achieved by using thermosetting polymer and zinc salts as precursor. Zn NPs were obtained on calcination at 850 °C for 30 min. SEM study reveals that synthesized nanoparticles are spherical in shape. XRD analysis shows that the Zn NPs formed are low crystalline in nature.

Ca1-xZrO3:xEu3+ (x = 0.05) phosphors have been prepared by using the low temperature solution combustion synthesis. The prepared nano phospors are well characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron spectroscopy. PXRD results showed orthorhombic phase and SEM images showed porous agglomerated morphology. Influence of nitridation on structural and photoluminescence properties of the phosphor were investigated for wide range of nitridation time. The photoluminescence (PL) intensity was found to vary with nitridation with small shift in the photoluminescence emission peaks. The probable reasons for the variation of photoluminescence with nitridation are discussed.

Reduced graphene oxide–epoxy grafted poly(styrene-co-acrylate) composites (GESA) were prepared by anchoring different amount of epoxy modified poly(styrene-co-acrylate) (EPSA) onto reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets through π–π electrostatic attraction. The GESA composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The anti-corrosion properties of rGO/EPSA composites were evaluated by electro-chemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in hydroxyl-polyacrylate coating, and the results revealed that the corrosion rate was decreased from 3.509 × 10−1 to 1.394 × 10−6 mm/a.

Cadmium selenide(CdSe) nanoparticles were prepared in the aqueous solution containing isopropyl alcohol by the ultrasonic irradiation at room temperature. The cadmium chloride (CdCl2) and sodium selenosulfate (Na2SeSO3) were used as the cadmium and selenium source, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis absorption spectra and PL spectra were used to characterize the CdSe nanoparticles. XRD analysis revealed the formation of cubic structure CdSe. TEM images showed aggregated CdSe nanoparticles with the size of nanometer scale. Average size of CdSe nanoparticles were about 3.9, 5.0 and 5.1nm with sonication time of 6, 30 and 40 minutes, respectively. The surface emission became less intensive and shifted to red with increasing irradiation time. This paper presents the effects of ultrasonic on the formation of CdSe nanoparticles and its characteristics.

AbstractThe presented work reports on the peculiarities of the anodic behavior, corrosion resistance and protective ability of electrodeposited Zn-Ni-P alloys with a different composition in a model corrosion medium of 5% NaCl. Three characteristic coating types have been investigated using experimental methods such as potentiodynamic polarization (PD) technique and polarization resistance (Rp) measurements. In addition, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with an Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDAX) device were applied to determine the differences in the chemical composition and surface morphology which appeared as a result of the corrosion treatment. The data obtained are compared to those of electrodeposited pure Zn coatings with identical experimental conditions demonstrating the enhanced protective characteristics of the ternary alloys during the test period in the model medium. The influence of the chemical and phase composition of the alloys on its corrosion resistance and protective ability is also commented and discussed.

The citrate gel method, similar to the polymerized complex method, was used to synthesize homogenous tetragonal zirconia at 800oC and 1000oC. Nanocrystalline tetragonal single phase has been fully stabilized with 3, 7, 10 mol% CaO and 10, 15 mol% MgO at 800oC, respectively. In addition, the XRD analysis showed the absence of monoclinic phase after addition of 7 and 10 mol% CaO into zirconia-based solid solutions, which have been fully stabilized both 800oC and 1000oC. The crystallite sizes of the t-ZrO2 with 3, 7 and 10 mol% CaO at 1000oC were 32, 28 and 29nm, respectively. For ZrO2- x mol% MgO (x=3, 10, 15) solid solution, the crystallite sizes of samples at 800oC were less than 29nm, however it was increased up to 69nm at 1000oC. The prepared gel and subsequent heat-treated powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to get detail information regarding to differentiation of polymorphs of zirconia as well as formation of powders.

The effective remove to tetracycline still remains a big challenge for scientists. In this work, we used a new method for preparing functional magnetic CNTS with ferrite nanoparticles. A wide range of techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and magnetic measurements were applied to characterize the obtained Fe2O3/CNTs. Moreover, we have also studied the properties of adsorbent to tetracycline. In addition, we have found that the Fe2O3/CNTs are better reusable adsorbent than other traditional adsorbents by magnetic separation recycling method.

In this work, calcium carbonate nanoparticles-polyethylene oxide nanofibers as organic–inorganic hybrid were prepared via in-situ electrospinning. Thus, electrospinning of polyethylene oxide solution saturated with calcium hydroxide was carried out in gaseous carbon dioxide atmosphere. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that calcium carbonate (CaCO3) nanoparticles were formed on the produced nanofibers of 200–300 nm in diameter. The existence of the formed CaCO3 was also proved by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) via loss of gaseous CO2 related to the decomposition of CaCO3 at about 500–840 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the nanofibers showed that the formed CaCO3 nanoparticles have vaterite morphology. DSC analysis was used to determine melting point and to calculate the crystallinity of the produced hybrid nanofibers. The TEM, TGA, XRD and DSC analyses results of the obtained nanofibers were compared with those of the nanofibers produced in electrospinning of pure polyethylene oxide solution and polyethylene oxide solution having calcium hydroxide, both in air.

Anatase TiO2 particles of about 20 nm in the diameter were successfully synthesized with Ti (SO4)2 as titanium source and stronger ammonia water as precipitant at 240°C for 48 h with pH=5 using the hydrothermal method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-VIS). XRD analysis showed that the phase of the samples was anatase TiO2. TEM analysis confirmed that TiO2 particles of about 50 nm in the diameter were obtained when the pH value was 0.12. With the increasement of the pH value, the size of as-prepared TiO2 particles became remarkably fine. However, with the further increase of the pH value, the size of TiO2 particles was not obvious. TiO2 particles of about 20 nm in the diameter were obtained when the pH value was 5. And UV-VIS results showed that the size of anatase TiO2 nanoparticles, which became small, was propitious to the blue shift of their absorption peak.
