The crystal structure of 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaiso-wurtzitane (CL-20) p-xylene solvate, and the solvent effects on the crystal faces of CL-20 were studied through a combined experimental and theoretical method. The properties were analyzed by thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (...

aluminophosphate-5 (alpo4-5) nano-pore zeolite was synthesized. the effect of alteration in precursor gel preparation on the morphology of zeolite was studied. the effect of variety of synthesis conditions on the purity, crystal and pore size, and crystallinity of alpo4-5 zeolite been studied. a hydrothermal synthesis has been used to produce nano-pore aluminophosphate-5 crystals. the crystals ...

[ 1 ] in this study, the authors have explained that the pattern of substances of abuse is varied in different parts of the world , also in iran, and the main ingredient of stree...

Biomineralization is the process of forming hard exoor endoskeltons by biological organisms. The physical properties and the morphology of the composite material that is formed depends on the mode of crystal-growth, which depends on the diffusion of the constituents (metal cations, their anions, and additives). We chose a model system, strontium carbonate / silica, because the precipitation of ...

A new technique for the measurement of 3D crystal morphology and identification of its polymorph using tomographic images is proposed. Confocal microscopy is used for the first time to obtain tomographic images of crystals that are coated with a suitable fluorescent dye. A convex polyhedron is fitted through a stack of tomographic images of a crystal to obtain the normal vectors of each facet a...

Polymer crystallization in manufacturing is a process where quiescent crystallization and flow-induced crystallization coexists, and heat/mass transfer on a macroscopic level interacts with crystal morphology evolution on a microscopic level. Previous numerical studies on polymer crystallization are mostly concentrated at a single scale; they only calculate macroscale parameters, e.g., temperat...
