In this paper we report a new type of cross-linked porous structure based on a chitosansoy protein blend system developed by means of combining a sol-gel process with the freeze-drying technique. The final structure was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR…
In recent years, superhydrophobic surfaces, with a water-contact angle greater than 150°, have attracted great interest for both fundamental research and practical applications. Due to the small area these surfaces show when in contact with water, interactions with aqueous environment are usually strongly reduced. An…
The processing of a PbNb 2 O 6 (PN) ceramic was investigated and optimized. Through thermal gravimetric and X‐ray diffraction analysis the optimal calcination condition and the starting firing temperature were estimated. The powders were submitted to thermal treatments to obtain PN ceramic powders with an orthorhombic…
Zero- and longitudinal-field muon-spin-rotation $(\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{SR})$ and $^{1}\mathrm{H}$ NMR measurements on the $S=\frac{1}{2}$ molecular nanomagnet ${\mathrm{K}}_{6}[{\mathrm{V}}_{15}^{IV}{\mathrm{As}}_{6}{\mathrm{O}}_{42}({\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{O})]∙8{\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{O}$ are presented. In LF exp…
Electroluminescence (EL) properties in the ultraviolet (UV) range were studied on Gd-implanted indium tin oxide/SiO2:Gd∕Si metal-oxide-semiconductor light emitting devices. The efficient UV line at 316nm from Gd3+ centers shows a maximum power density of 2mW∕cm2 and a quantum efficiency above 5%. The Gd3+ luminescent…
Unsaturated polyester resins are extensively used in the automotive industry as matrix for polymer based composite materials, but have poor impact resistance. Toughness can be improved dispersing a softer phase in brittle polymers. Scrap tyres constitute a significant waste problem and are a low-cost source for rubber…
PXRD (powder x-ray diffraction), FT-IR (Fourier Transform infrared), N2 adsorption at - 196 °C and TG/DTA (thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses) techniques have been used for characterisation of MgAl- and ZnAl-CrO4 LDHs, which had been prepared by the ion exchange method from the corresponding chloride…
Cadmium chalcogenide quantum dots (QD’s) were synthesised using a single source approach while zinc oxide QD’s were obtained by a colloidal technique. In both situations the dots were surface capped with tri-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) hence leading to nanodispersed systems in organic solvents such as toluene. The org…
Petrography and X-ray diffraction techniques are used in this work to determine the mineralogical composition of a granite, a gabbro and a quartzite. The experimental difficulties and the results obtained by both methods are described and discussed. The semi-quantitative procedure of XRD analysis used in this work all…
In the present work a monocrystalline Cu-13.5Al-4Ni (wt.%) alloy with shape memory effect (SME) submitted to thermal cycling inside the critical range was investigated in terms of number of cycles and resulting structural changes. Attention was paid to the structural changes associated with reversible β1↔γ’1 martensit…
This paper summarizes the processing, morphology and mechanical properties of PP/PCABS blend produced by a non-conventional injection moulding technique: shear controlled orientation in injection moulding, SCORIM. This technique consists on the in-mould shear manipulation of the melt during the solidification phase by…
We report on the magnetotransport properties of Co2Cr0.6Fe0.4Al mixed with insulating Al2O3. The powder compacts show a maximum magnetoresistance of 88% at a saturation moment of 0.125T at 295K. Different explanations for the reversible mechanism will be discussed, such as tunneling between contiguous ferromagnetic gr…
The crystal structures of divalent metal salts of trifluoromethyl sulfonic acid ("trifluoromethyl sulfonates") M(SO(3)CF(3))(2) (M = Mg, Ca, Ba, Zn, Cu) were determined from high-resolution X-ray powder diffraction data. Magnesium, calcium and zinc trifluoromethyl sulfonate crystallize in the rhombohedral space group…
In the present work, properties of Dy 3+ ‐doped chalcogenide glasses as a stoichiometric formula of (0.9− x )GeSe 2 – x AsSe 3/2 –0.1GaSe 3/2 ( x =0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6) were investigated as a comparison with the previously studied Ge–Ga–Se system. Property measurements include differential thermal analysis, de…
We have studied the synthesis and sintering of BaTiO3 (BTO) nanometric powders produced by Pechini technique. A laser sintering procedure was applied to the BTO and its major advantage was the quickness of the processing. We have used the radiation of a CO2 laser (CW – 100 W) as the heating source. A linear rate of ir…
A hard axis hysteresis loop shift from the origin has been observed in the exchange biased $\mathrm{Mn}\mathrm{Pt}∕\mathrm{Ni}\mathrm{Fe}$. A model that accounts for the hard axis hysteresis loop shift is proposed. For the correct description of the experimental results, a misalignment between the easy axis of ferroma…
Radioactivity concentrations of concrete building block samples made and used in Jos, Nigeria, were determined using a gamma ray spectrometry method. The mean values of the radioactivity concentrations were calculated as 66, 126 and 589 Bq kg(-1) for (226)Ra, (232)Th and (40)K, respectively. The radium equivalent acti…
An analysis is provided of the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) intensities measured in the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) XPS database for 46 solid elements. This present analysis does not change our previous conclusions concerning the excellent correlation between experimental intensities, following deconv…
Silver nanoparticles were simply prepared by spray pyrolysis of aqueous solutions of AgNO 3 , and dextran or Poly (vinylalcohol) (PVA) without any reducing agent. Monodisperse particles well-organized in polymer matrix were obtained above a certain critical ratio of polymer to silver nitrate, usually around 1, and bel…
The dielectric properties, including the DC breakdown strength, of 1 mol% Nb 5+ ‐doped BaTiO 3 ceramics with different quantities of excess TiO 2 have been investigated. The breakdown strength was found to decrease with increasing TiO 2 content, but could not be readily explained by relative density and grain size eff…
