These findings urged us to investigate whether different formation conditions of the molecule-ion system between Li2CO3 and β-CD in solid state were involved in different spectral performances. To answer the question, we prepared three adducts of Li2CO3 to β-CD, i.e., samples 1, 2, and 3, by magnetic stirring, solvothermal and grinding conditions, respectively. Powder X-ray diffraction and Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy provided the information of formation of the three molecule-ion adducts. Besides, scanning electron microscope images provided different surface information of the three adducts. Further, significant spectral differences in thermal behavior of these adducts were found by thermogravimetry and derivative thermogravimetry.展开更多

The results show that with the increase of Al2O3 content the bands assigned to [SiO4] nearly disappear. Aluminum replaces silicon in the glass network, which is helpful for the formation of boron-oxygen rings. The increase of the transition temperature Tg and softening temperature Tf of PbO-B2O3-SiO2 glass ceramics leads to the increase of liquid phase precipitation temperature and promotes the structure stability in the glasses, and consequently contributes to the decreasing trend of crystallization. Densification and dielectric constants increase with the increase of Al2O3 content, but the dielectric loss is worsened. By contrast, the 3% (mass fraction) Al2O3-doped glass ceramics sintered at 725℃ have better properties of density p=2.72 g/cm3, dielectric constant Er=6.78, dielectric loss tan8=2.6×10^-3 (measured at 9.8 GHz), which suggest that the glass ceramics can be applied in multilayer microwave devices requiring low sintering temperatures.展开更多

The results show that the soaked fiber is surrounded by an outer calcium-magnesium silicate hydrated layer, and there exists a balancing fimction between the formation and abscission of the hydrated layer during the dissolution process. The concentrations of leached ions increase constantly, and the mass loss of the fibers and pH changes of the solution are found to rise rapidly during the initial dissolution process, then their increasing rates are controlled by the balancing function of the hydrated layer at the subsequent dissolution stages. The dissolution rate constant and time for complete dissolution are estimated to be 274 ng/(cm2.h) and 15.2 d, respectively, presenting preferable biosolubilities.展开更多

The results show that the increasing amount of alkali oxides in the glass causes the decrease of [SiO4], which results in the decrease of the continuity of glass network, and leads to the decrease of the softening temperature Tf of the samples and the increasing trend of crystallization. And that deduces corresponding rise of densification, dielectric constant, dielectric loss of the low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) materials and the decrease of its thermal conductivity. By contrast, the borosilicate glass/A1203 composites with 1.5% (mass fraction) alkali oxides sintered at 875 ℃ for 30 rain exhibit better properties of a bulk density of 2.79 g/cm3, a porosity of 0.48%, a 2 value of 2.28 W/(m.K), a er value of 7.82 and a tand value of 9.1 × 10-4 (measured at 10 MHz).展开更多

The results show that the precursor was transformed gradually from amorphous to crystalline phase with temperature. When heat treated at 300 °C for 2h, RuO2·n H2O electrode surface gains mass of2.5 mg/cm2 with specific capacitance of 782 F/g. Besides, it is found that the specific capacitance of the film decreased by roughly20% with voltage scan rate increasing from 5 to 250 m V/s.展开更多

Polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)/ [La(NO3)3+Ni(CH3COO)2] composite nanofibers were fabricated by electrospinning, and polycrystalline LaNiO3 nanofibers were prepared by calcination of the PVA/[La(NO3)3+Ni(CH3COO)2] composite nanofibers at 6000C for 10 h. The samples were characterized by using thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), X-ray diffraction spectrometry(XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR). The results showed that PVA/[La(NO3)3+ Ni(CH3COO)2] composite nanofibers were amorphous in structure, and pure phase LaNiO3 nanofibers were trigonal with space group R3m. The surface of as-prepared composite nanofibers was smooth, and the diameter was about 200 nm. The diameter of LaNiO3 nanofibers was smaller than that of the relevant composite fibers. The surface of the LaNiO3 nanofibers becomes coarse with the increase of calcination temperatures. The diameter of LaNiO3 nanofibers was ca. 80 nm, and the length was greater than 100μm. The mass of the sample remained constant when the temperature was above 463℃, and the total mass loss percentage was 90.9%. Possible formation mechanism of LaNiO3 nanofibers was preliminarily proposed.展开更多

The results showed that the functional groups transition of Diazald was temperature dependent, and thermal decomposition of Diazald was accelerated above 47.7℃. The HPLC-ESI-MS method was used for Diazald analysis, which indicated the strong hydrogen bonding between Diazald and water and instability of the NO group.展开更多

The new formulation was characterized by DSC (differential scanning calorimetry), PXRD (powder X-ray diffraction), FT-1R (fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) and STEM (scanning transmission electron microscopy) methods. Solid dispersions of MB with polyvinylpyrrolidone K-30 (PVP K30) were prepared by solvent evaporation method. The solubility of MB (original powder) and that of the solid dispersions was measured at 25℃ in ethanol-water. The aqueous solubility of MB was favoured by the presence of the polymer in solvent mixtures. Combination of solid dispersions with co-solvents increased the water solubility of MB in a larger extent that each method separately. Solubility parameter (o) was used to relate to solubility profiles. MB and the solid dispersions show a solubility curve with a single peak at 51 = 30.78 MPav2. Solid state characterizations indicated that the solid dispersion exist an amorphous material entrapped in polymer matrix getting highest improvement in wettability and solubility.展开更多

The mic...The microstructure, wettability and chemical composition of the butterfly wing surfaces were investigated by a scanning electron microscope, a contact angle meter and a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. The micro/nano structural models for hydrophobicity of the butterfly wing surfaces were established on the basis of the Cassie equation. The hydrophobicity mechanisms were discussed from the perspective of biological coupling. The butterfly wing surfaces are composed of naturally hydrophobic material and possess micro/nano hierarchical structures, including primary structure (micrometric scales), secondary structure (nano longitudinal ridges and lateral bridges) and tertiary structure (nano stripes). The wing surfaces exhibit high hydrophobicity (contact angle 138°-157°) and low adhesion (sliding angle 1°-3°). The micromorphology and self-cleaning performance of the wing surfaces demonstrate remarkable anisotropism. The special complex wettability ascribes to a coupling effect of the material element and the structure element. In microdimension, the smaller the width and the bigger the spacing of the scale, the stronger the hydrophobicity of the wing surfaces. In nano-dimension, the smaller the height and the smaller the width and the bigger the spacing of the longitudinal ridge, the stronger the hydrophobicity of the wing surfaces. This work promotes our understanding of the hydrophobicity mechanism of bio-surfaces and may bring inspiration for biomimetic design and preparation of smart interfacial materials.展开更多
