The synthesis and properties of submicrocontainers with a shell of nanoparticles of silicon dioxide and a core of polymerized 3-(Trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate loaded with 5-Dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (DCOIT) are considered. The resulting containers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy SEM, laser correlation spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The obtained submicrocontainers show low polydispersity with a small increase in size in comparison with the initial droplet size of the Pickering emulsion. The Zeta potential of the final containers was sufficiently negative at pH7 to be stable. The maximum release of encapsulated biocide was observed over approximately 24–27 h with a lease of about 78% of the encapsulated biocide during 3.5 h. The effectiveness of the encapsulated biocide by the Pickering emulsion technique was studied by tests on the growth rate of a microfungi colony (Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus awamori) and the growth rate of the bacteria Bacillus cereus. The test shows that the submicrocontainers of DCOIT facilitate a growth inhibition of 70% against 52% for the free biocide after 5 days; this is due to the fact that free biocide loses its activity promptly, while the encapsulated biocide is released gradually, and thus retains its effectivity for a longer time.

Nanotechnology is extensively used in textile industries because it confers unique properties on fabrics.In this study, using nano silicon dioxide (SiO2)-coated nylon fabrics have created a lot of awareness appropriate to improve their functional properties. Using deferent con-struction of nano silicon dioxide (SiO2), the optimization construction are used to carry out treatments impart to improve the roughness, antistatic charge, sew ability, thickness; weight and UPF measurement are investigated. The study evaluates the possibility of using the scanning electron microscope (SEM) to show optimize the effect of treatment of nylon fabrics with nano silicon dioxide not only on the effect of treatment of nylon fabrics with nano silicon dioxide not only on their performance and appearance but also in garment man-ufacturing.

Hydrothermal synthesized lead titanate (PbTiO3¬) powder was prepared in a Teflon-lined stainless steel bomb at different bath temperatures. X-ray diffraction was performed to examine the phase assignment and crystallographic properties of hydrothermal synthesized lead titanate powder. Silicon dioxide (SiO2) was thermally deposited and adapted as intermediate layer on p-Si (100) substrates for MFIS (Metal/Ferroelectric/ Insulator/Semi-conductor) design. The microstructures of PbTiO3 film for both MFS and MFIS designs were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Charge conduction mechanism was also interpreted by C-2-V relationship. Polarization and electric field characteristics were measured by Sawyer-Tower circuit and good hysteresis nature was formed for both structures of the films. The loop of MFIS was wider than that of MFS cell. Also, the higher value of polarization (Ps=3.21E-03µC/cm2) for MFIS could be explained on the basis of higher dipole moment in this SiO2 buffer layer.

The anatomy of tawara-shibo stems of Chamaecyparis obtusa (Siebold & Zucc.) Endl. was observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a light microscope. Tawara-shibo is a strange stem form with a series of swellings that appear at regular intervals along the stem axis. Multiseriate rays, trabeculae and related structures, and modified tracheids were frequently observed at swollen portions. These features were less frequent at non-swollen portions.We conclude that abnormal cambial activities, occurring at regular longitudinal intervals, cause the formation and development of these three anatomical features and higher growth rates at swollen portions. As a result of differences in growth rate between swollen and non-swollen portions, the stem form of tawara-shibo develops. It is suggested that formation of the characteristics observed in tawara-shibo stems is genetically controlled by hormonal secretion into or within the cambium.

Poly(viny1 alcohol) (PVA)/regenerated silk fibroin (RSF)/silicon dioxide (SiO2) fiber mats were prepared by electrospinning of composite solutions. Fiber morphology was observed under a scanning electron microscope and effects addition of SiO2 was evaluated. Results showed that the obtained fibers exhibited a smooth outer surface, and the continuity was improved because of the different solution conductivity, solution viscosity and compatibility of PVA and RSF by the addition of 1.0 wt. % SiO2. It was found that both Si-O-C linkage and hydrogen bonding interactions were existed among SiO2, PVA, and RSF by FTIR spectroscopy. The addition of SiO2 also resulted in the decrease of crystallinity and increase of thermal properties of electrospun fibers, which were suggested as a result of enhanced compatibility and physical properties of PVA and RSF composite.

Hollow ceramic microspheres of Al2O3, SiO2, and mullite have been prepared by the combination of an emulsion technique with a water extraction sol-gel method. Concentration of sol, initial droplet size, and water extraction rate of the system are found to be the important process parameters controlling the size and wall thickness of the hollow microspheres, and their influences are shown. A model that correlates the morphology of microspheres to concentration and water extraction rate is proposed and is in good agreement with the experimental observations. The capability and limitation of this process for forming hollow microspheres are demonstrated. It was shown that hollow microspheres with sizes greater than 5 μm could be readily prepared, while a limitation was met for sizes less than 1 μm, in which case solid microspheres were normally formed.
