Properties of the obtained samples were characterized and analyzed with X-ray diffraction （XRD）, energy dispersive analysis of X-rays （EDAX）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, infrared （IR） absorbance, and the BET method. For the prepared samples with 20% （molar ratio） Y-doped content, a BET specific surface area of 106. 6 m^2 · g^- 1, with an average pore size of3~27 nm were obtained. XRD patterns showed that the doped samples were with a cubic fluorite structure. TEM micrographs revealed that the doped samples showed a spherical morphology with a diameter ranging from 20 to 30 nm and a round pore shape. IR results indicated that the Ce-O-Ce vibration intensity decreased as the Y-doped content increased. N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms showed that the samples possessed typical mesopore characteristics. The average pore size of the samples decreased alter mesoporous CeO2 was doped with yttrium, and the average pore size decreased largely as the Y-doped content increased.展开更多

The optimized conditions for graft copolymerization in this case were determined by a response surface experiment designed with Design-Expert 10 software. Characterization by scanning electron microscopy showed a significant morphology change of the dust suppressant and the generation of a rigid and dense layer on its surface after interacting with coal dust.The layer exhibited good bonding and dust suppression performance. The analysis with Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy revealed the appearance of new absorption peaks near 1300, 1072, and 1631 cm, demonstrating effective graft copolymerization. The proposed dust suppressant exhibited excellent wind erosion resistance, with a resistance that exceeded 90% at a wind speed of 6.5 m/sec. The successful graft copolymerization and effective bonding and curing of the dust suppressant on coal dust were experimentally verified.This is of great significance to the control of coal dust pollution.展开更多

The precursors were sintered at different temperatures between 600 and 1 000 ℃ for 10 h. The impacts of different sintering temperatures on the structure and electrochemical performances of Li(Ni_(1/3)Mn_(1/3)Co_(1/3))O_2 were compared by means of X-ray diffractometry(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and charge/discharge test as cathode materials for lithium ion batteries.

Based on this, on the basis of target processing of seismic data and cross-well correlation of logging sequences, and combining with seismic structural attributes, the location of stratigraphic superstripping lines is preliminarily determined, and then the accurate location of stratigraphic superstripping lines is finely determined by using the included angle extrapolation technique and seismic stratigraphic method for interactive verification.展开更多

The precipitated precursons and the calcinated products were characterized by the thermogravimetric analysis/thermoanalysis (TGA/DTA), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that using NH_4HCO_3 as a precipitating reagent, the precipitate decomposed full as it was heated to 360 ℃. The CeO_2 superfine powder formed by calcinating the precipitate belongs to a cubic CaF_2-type structure and has the first mean particle diameter 140 nm and second mean particle diameter 630 nm. The CeO_2 powder particles aggregate and grow with raising the calcination temperature.展开更多

The methodologies were based on thermal(differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), melting point, and thermogravimetry(TG)),spectroscopic(ultraviolet(UV), Raman, near infrared(NIR), infrared spectroscopy coupled to attenuated total reflectance(FTIR-ATR), and nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)), microscopic and X-ray diffraction(XRD). The TCZ bulk powder showed a high crystallinity, as observed by XRD, with a particles size distribution(3–95 mm) resolved by microscopic measurements. TCZ melting point(82.8 °C) and a degradation peak centered at 297.8 °C were obtained by DSC and DTG, respectively. An unambiguous structure elucidation of TCZ was obtained by mono-and two-dimensional1 H and13 C NMR spectral data analysis. The FTIR-ATR, Raman and NIR spectra of both the raw material and the commercial products were analyzed and their characteristic bands were tabulated. The best methods for TCZ identification in ovules were DSC, TG, XRD, NIR and Raman, while NIR and FTIR-ATR were the most appropriate techniques to analyze it in the nail lacquer. DSC, TG, DRX, Raman, FTIR-ATR and NIR spectroscopy are effective techniques to be used in online process analysis, because they do not require sample preparation, and they are considerably sensitive to analyze complex samples.展开更多

The ferroelectricity and piezoelectricity of the BI-PT films are also measured, and the measured results illustrate that both performances are effectively improved by the La-doping with suitable concentrations. These results will open up wide potential applications of the films in electronic devices.

文摘In-situ characterization of non-aqueous nano-dispersion systems（NANDS） by freeze-etching transmission electron microscope（FETEM） was reported.To improve just-for-once successive rate of specimen preparation and get good characterization results,an improving specimen preparation method of freezing etching was developed.Size,distribution and morphology of NANDS were directly visualized.Some information of particle dispersion feature and particle density can also be obtained.Reproductivity of the FETEM characterization is excellent.Comparing with laser scattering method,which is liable to give positive error especially for small size particle anchoring disperser,FETEM characterization can give more accurate measurement of particle size.Moreover,FETEM can give dispersion feature of nanoparticle in non-aqueous medium.
文摘Spherical Li(Ni_(1/3)Mn_(1/3)Co_(1/3))O_2 was prepared via the homogenous precursors produced by solution spray-drying method. The precursors were sintered at different temperatures between 600 and 1 000 ℃ for 10 h. The impacts of different sintering temperatures on the structure and electrochemical performances of Li(Ni_(1/3)Mn_(1/3)Co_(1/3))O_2 were compared by means of X-ray diffractometry(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and charge/discharge test as cathode materials for lithium ion batteries. The experimental results show that the spherical morphology of the spray-dried powers maintains during the subsequent heat treatment and the specific capacity increases with rising sintering temperature. When the sintering temperature rises up to 900 ℃ , Li(Ni_(1/3)Mn_(1/3)Co_(1/3))O_2 attains a reversible capacity of 153 mA·h/g between 3.00 and 4.35 V at 0.2C rate with excellent cyclability.
文摘Due to their high water content,stimulus responsiveness,and biocompatibility,hydrogels,which are functional materials with a three-dimensional network structure,are widely applied in fields such as biomedicine,environmental monitoring,and flexible electronics.This paper provides a systematic review of hydrogel charac-terization methods and their applications,focusing on primary evaluation techniques for physical properties(e.g.,mechanical strength,swelling behavior,and pore structure),chemical properties(e.g.,composition,crosslink density,and degradation behavior),biocompatibility,and functional properties(e.g.,drug release,environmental stimulus response,and conductivity).It analyzes the challenges currently faced by characterization methods,such as a lack of standardization,difficulties in dynamic monitoring,an insufficient micro-macro correlation,and poor adaptability to complex environments.It proposes solutions,such as a hierarchical standardization system,in situ imaging technology,cross-scale characterization,and biomimetic testing platforms.Looking ahead,hydrogel characterization techniques will evolve toward intelligent,real-time,multimodal coupling and standardized approaches.These techniques will provide superior technical support for precision medicine,environmental restoration,and flexible electronics.They will also offer systematic methodological guidance for the performance optimization and practical application of hydrogel materials.

文摘The fatigue resistance of casting polyurethane(CPU)is crucial in various sectors,such as construction,healthcare,and the automotive industry.Despite its importance,no studies have reported on the fatigue threshold of CPU.This study employed an advanced Intrinsic Strength Analyzer(ISA)to evaluate the fatigue threshold of CPUs,systematically exploring the effects of three types of isocyanates(PPDI,NDI,TDI)that contribute to hard segment structures based on the cutting method.Employing multiple advanced characterization techniques(XRD,TEM,DSC,AFM),the results indicate that PPDI-based polyurethane exhibits the highest fatigue threshold(182.89 J/m^(2))due to a highest phase separation and a densely packed spherulitic structure,although the hydrogen bonding degree is the lowest(48.3%).Conversely,NDI-based polyurethane,despite having the high hydrogen bonding degree(53.6%),exhibits moderate fatigue performance(122.52 J/m^(2)),likely due to a more scattered microstructure.TDI-based polyurethane,with the highest hydrogen bonding degree(59.1%)but absence of spherulitic structure,shows the lowest fatigue threshold(46.43 J/m^(2)).Compared to common rubbers(NR,NBR,EPDM,BR),the superior fatigue performance of CPU is attributed to its well-organized microstructure,polyurethane possesses a higher fatigue threshold due to its high phase separation degree and orderly and dense spherulitic structure which enhances energy dissipation and reduces crack propagation.
文摘Under the condition of conventional seismic data, because the thickness of the whole stratum of the second member of Shahejie Formation in the south is reduced, it is wedge-shaped in the south, and the shielding effect of the interface between the overlying sand and the bottom layer or the weak seismic reflection signal, it is difficult to identify the overbreak line, which seriously affects the exploration and development of the second member of Shahejie Formation. Based on this, on the basis of target processing of seismic data and cross-well correlation of logging sequences, and combining with seismic structural attributes, the location of stratigraphic superstripping lines is preliminarily determined, and then the accurate location of stratigraphic superstripping lines is finely determined by using the included angle extrapolation technique and seismic stratigraphic method for interactive verification.
文摘The CeO_2 superfine powder was prepared by the co-precipitation method, using the industrial grade Ce_2(CO_3)_3 and NH_4HCO_3 as starting material and precipitating reagent, respectively. The precipitated precursons and the calcinated products were characterized by the thermogravimetric analysis/thermoanalysis (TGA/DTA), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that using NH_4HCO_3 as a precipitating reagent, the precipitate decomposed full as it was heated to 360 ℃. The CeO_2 superfine powder formed by calcinating the precipitate belongs to a cubic CaF_2-type structure and has the first mean particle diameter 140 nm and second mean particle diameter 630 nm. The CeO_2 powder particles aggregate and grow with raising the calcination temperature.

文摘Tioconazole(TCZ), a broad-spectrum antifungal agent, has significant activity against Candida albicans and other Candida species, and therefore, it is indicated for the topical treatment of superficial mycoses.The main goal of this work is to report an exhaustive identification and characterization procedure to improve and facilitate the online quality control and continuous process monitoring of TCZ in bulk material and loaded in two different dosage forms: ovules and nail lacquer. The methodologies were based on thermal(differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), melting point, and thermogravimetry(TG)),spectroscopic(ultraviolet(UV), Raman, near infrared(NIR), infrared spectroscopy coupled to attenuated total reflectance(FTIR-ATR), and nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)), microscopic and X-ray diffraction(XRD). The TCZ bulk powder showed a high crystallinity, as observed by XRD, with a particles size distribution(3–95 mm) resolved by microscopic measurements. TCZ melting point(82.8 °C) and a degradation peak centered at 297.8 °C were obtained by DSC and DTG, respectively. An unambiguous structure elucidation of TCZ was obtained by mono-and two-dimensional1 H and13 C NMR spectral data analysis. The FTIR-ATR, Raman and NIR spectra of both the raw material and the commercial products were analyzed and their characteristic bands were tabulated. The best methods for TCZ identification in ovules were DSC, TG, XRD, NIR and Raman, while NIR and FTIR-ATR were the most appropriate techniques to analyze it in the nail lacquer. DSC, TG, DRX, Raman, FTIR-ATR and NIR spectroscopy are effective techniques to be used in online process analysis, because they do not require sample preparation, and they are considerably sensitive to analyze complex samples.
