The particle shape changes from nanofibers to nanoparticles after grinding, and the phase structure does not change. The local environment around the central manganese ion has a slight change in nanoparticles related to nanofibers. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra showed that A2u mode frequency shifts from 514 cm-1 to 574 cm-1 to 617 cm-1 gradually while the particle shape and size change from long nanofibers to short fibers and to nanoparticles. The extra vibrational band that is unpredicted by factor group analysis originates from the contribution of A2u mode of the particles with different sizes and shapes in the studied sample. On the basis of Rietveld refinement analysis of XRD profiles and the FTIR spectra, we think that two kinds of MnO6 octahedral geometries, i.e., 4 long+2 short and 4 short+2 long, could exist in pyrolusites synthesized by different route. The maximum vibrational frequency in the FTIR spectra of pyrolusites is sensitive to these micro-structures. Assignment of four vibrational bands in the middle and far infrared region has been made.展开更多

The samples of PVA hydrogel were closely covered by plastic film. The changes of their chemical structures and physical properties during aging were measured through different measurable techniques including tensile testing, gel permeation chromatography ( GPC ), viscosity analysis, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spec- trum. The results showed that the molecular weight of PVA in hydrogel changed little with time and temperature. FTIR spectra of PVA in all the samples were similar to those of the original samples. The tensile strength of PVA hydrogel didn't change until the 330th days.展开更多

Aluminum sulfate with crystallized water and sodium bicarbonate were used as precursors for film growth, and the control of the system抯 pH value played an important role in this experiment. The growth rate is 12 nm/h with the deposition at [Al2(SO4)3]=0.0837 molL-1, [NaHCO3]=0.214 molL-1, 15 ℃. Post-growth annealing not only densifies and purifies the films, but results in film crystallization as well. Excellent quality of Al2O3 films in this work is supported by electron dispersion spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrum, X-ray diffraction spectrum and scanning electron microscopy photograph.展开更多
