Polyaniline is a representative conducting polymer because of its high electrical conductivity in doped state and it’s used in various fields of science and engineering because of its unique characteristics. Polymers are playing a dominant role in many areas such as material sciences, textile industries and chemical industries. Monomers of aniline are combined together to form a polymer of polyaniline by chemical oxidative polymerization method. The process of synthesis includes 1.5 M of aniline (C6H5N) as main reagent which causes chemical reaction, Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) as a dopant which alters its original electric and optical properties and Ammonium Peroxydisulfate (APS) as an oxidant which has the ability to oxidize and accept electrons. The synthesized nanoparticles are subjected to heating process at two different temperatures (200˚C and 400˚C). The prepared polymer material is characterized by UV-Visible Spectroscopy,Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy, Particle Size Analyzer and antibacterial activity. The electron transition from ground state to excited state was revealed by UVVis Spectroscopy. Polymeric materials are identified using FTIR spectroscopy and it also exhibits the chemical bonds and structure of the sample. Particle Size Analyzer represents the mean size of the polyaniline sample. The overwhelming potential application of polyaniline includes manufacturing of circuit board, corrosion resistance, and fabrication of smart textiles.

Formation of polymer nanomaterials are achieved by the process of polymerization and there was an availability of different methods such as chemical oxidative polymerization,electro chemical polymerization, In-situ oxidative polymerization and emulsion polymerization etc., Many monomers combine to form polymers under certain conditions by chemical reactions between the monomers. The chemical oxidative polymerization was most commonly used method to synthesize PANI and the synthesis process involved various molar ratio of aniline (0.1M, 0.2M, 0.3M) in which APS was used as an oxidant with dopant of HCl. This study revealed that the properties changed based on their initial conditions. The prepared aromatic polyaniline was characterized by FT-IR, UV-VIS,Particle size analyzer techniques and anti-bacterial activity of the sample was analyzed.FT-IR spectroscopy gives deep view of many  functional groups that were present in a system by measuring vibrational frequencies of chemical bonds involved. UV-VIS was a good tool to identify, characterize and to study the optical properties of nanomaterials.In particle size analyzer, the size of a particle was measured using the instrument laser diffraction particle size analyzer (SALD-2300). The synthesized polyaniline had the tendency to resist the growth of both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. These organic conducting polymers were sometimes called “smart polymers” and have varies application in medical, OLED, solar cell, batteries and sensor etc.,

In this work we present a facile way to produce hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanoparticles by wet chemical synthesis in the presence of polyelectrolytes under controlled temperature, pH, and atmospheric conditions. The resulting calcium rich carbonated HAP is sintered in an air atmosphere to investigate the thermal stability of the synthesized powders. The morphology and microstructure of the HAP nanoparticles were investigated by XRD, SEM, FTIR spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and particle size analyzer. Polyelectrolytes affect the coherent length of the crystalline domain, the dimension and particle size distribution of the crystals. The reduction in size is greater in the direction of the c-axis. The SEM micrograph shows the formation of well-crystallized, agglomerated small particles of HAP. The mean size of the subunit is smaller than that of the surface of the grain observed in SEM. X-ray analysis have shown that the resulting particles have high thermal stability.

Magnetic oxides are promising materials for alternative health diagnoses and treatments. The aim of this work is to understand the dependence of the heating power with the nanoparticle (NP) mean size, for the manganite composition La0.75Sr0.25MnO3 (LSMO)—the one with maximum critical temperature for the whole La/Sr ratio of the series. We have prepared four different samples, each one annealed at different temperatures, in order to produce different mean NP sizes, ranging from 26 nm up to 106 nm. Magnetization measurements revealed a FC-ZFC irreversibility and from the coercive field as function of temperature we determined the blocking temperature. A phase diagram was delivered as a function of the NP mean size and, based on this, the heating mechanism understood. Small NPs (26 nm) is heated up within the paramagnetic range of temperature (T>Tc), and therefore provide low heating efficiency; while bigger NPs are heated up, from room temperature, within the magnetically blocked range of temperature (T<TB), and also provide a small heating efficiency. The main finding of this article is related with the heating process for NPs within the magnetically unblocked range of temperature (Tc>T>TB), for intermediate mean diameter size of 37 nm, with maximum efficiency of heat transfer.

Abstract The recovery of agro-food waste is at the heart of the challenges of the 21st century, in this context that this research work comes. A biomaterial is prepared from a significant resource such as dromedary bone and bovine bone by heat treatment at different temperatures and characterized by physico-chemical techniques in order to have the effect of bone type on the physico-chemical properties of hydroxyapatite. The results of FTIR and DRX show the removal of all organic matter and the production of pure hydroxyapatite without any additional phase for both bone types. Analyzes by SEM and laser particle size analyzer show that the particle size of hydroxyapatite is increased with increasing temperature. From the results of XRF, bone type is a direct effect on the concentration of hydroxyapatite compounds in hydroxyapatite prepared from dromedary bone compared to hydroxyapatite prepared from bovine bone.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the different types of fly ash on the compressive strength properties of sintered briquettes. Thermal gravimetric (TG) analysis was carried out. The chemical composition and physical properties of the materials used were determined. Particle size distribution and microstructure elemental analyses of the materials used were carried out by a particle size analyzer (Mastersizer) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM-EDS). Following the characterization of the materials, briquettes were prepared by sintering at different temperatures. Compressive strength test results of the briquette samples indicated that briquettes with a compressive strength value of 47.45 N/mm2can be produced. The results obtained exceed the Turkish standard (TS EN 771-1) requirements (9.8–23.54 N/mm2). SEM-EDS results showed that briquette samples made with Tunçbilek (T) fly ash had a higher percentage of the glassy phase than the other briquette samples. Due to this microstructure, it results in higher compressive strength value.

AbstractCapacitors, resistors and inductors are surface mounted components on circuit boards, which occupy up to 70% of the circuit board area. For selected applications, these passives are packaged inside green ceramic tape substrates and sintered at temperatures over 700°C in a co-fired process. These high temperature processes are incompatible with organic substrates, and low temperature processes are needed if passives are to be embedded into organic substrates. A new high permeability dual-phase Nickel Zinc Ferrite (DP NZF) core fabricated using a low temperature sol-gel route was developed for use in embedded inductors in organic substrates. Crystalline NZF powder was added to the sol-gel precursor of NZF. The solution was deposited onto the substrates as thin films and heat-treated at different temperatures. The changes in the microstructures were characterized using XRD and SEM. Results showed that addition of NZF powder induced low temperature transformation of the sol-gel NZF phase to high permeability phase at 250°C, which is approximately 350°C lower than transformation temperature for pure NZF sol gel films. Electrical measurements of DP NZF cored two-layered spiral inductors indicated that the inductance increased by three times compared to inductors without the DP NZF cores. From microstructural observations, the increase is correlated with the changes in microstructural connectivity of the powder phase.
