For microcapsules to be effective in providing protection from harsh environments or delivering large payloads, it is essential to have a good understanding of their properties to enable quality control during formulation, storage, and applications. This review aims to outline the commonly used techniques for determining the physicochemical, struc- tural, and mechanical properties of microcapsules, and highlights the interlinked nature of these three areas with respect to the end-use industrial application. This review provides information on techniques that are well supported in the literature, and also examines microcapsule analytical techniques that will become more prevalent as a result of new technological developments or extensions from other areas of study.展开更多
Polycrystalline cobalt-substituted tungsten bronze ferroelectric ceramics with chemical composition Ba_(5)CaTi_(2-x)Co_(X)Nb_(8)O_(30)(x=0.00,0.02,0.04 and 0.08)were synthesized by solid state reaction technique.X-ray...Polycrystalline cobalt-substituted tungsten bronze ferroelectric ceramics with chemical composition Ba_(5)CaTi_(2-x)Co_(X)Nb_(8)O_(30)(x=0.00,0.02,0.04 and 0.08)were synthesized by solid state reaction technique.X-ray diffraction(XRD)technique was used to confirm the phase formation and it revealed the formation of single phase tetragonal structure with space group P4bm.The surface morphology of the samples was studied by using the scanning electron microscopy(SEM)technique.The dielectric properties such as dielectric constant and dielectric loss have been investigated as a function of temperature and frequency.The P-E and M-H studies confirmed the coexistent of ferroelectricity and magnetism at room temperature.The P-E loop study indicated an increase in the coercive field while the M-H study depicted a decrease in the magnetization with the incorporation of cobalt ions.展开更多
