Synthesis of high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is demonstrated by a laser heating catalytic CVD method. This method makes it possible to produce SWNTs without the use of an electric furnace or hot filament. SWNTs were synthesized from alcohol using Fe/Co catalyst particles supported on zeolite and Mo/Co particles deposited directly on a substrate Synthesis of high purity SWNTs ...

The objective of this study is to evaluate the emulsifier role in the synthesis of Iron Polyaniline nanocomposite by in-situ oxidative polymerization of aniline and reduction of Iron ions into Fe nanoparticles. The polymerization of aniline was carried out in the presence of FeCl as oxidizing agent. During the reaction 3 aniline monomers undergo oxidation and form polyaniline (PANI) whereas the...

These data and analyses support the research article "Experimental study on phase relations in the Ce-Fe-Sb ternary system" Zhu et al. (2017) [1]. The data and analyses presented here include the experimental results of XRD, SEM and EPMA for the determination of the whole liquidus projection and the isothermal section at 823 K in the Ce-Fe-Sb system. All the results enable the understanding of ...

Nanocomposite materials of the Fe-Cu system with/without small addition of carbon nanotubes have been synthesized by mechanochemical activation of elemental Fe and Cu powders in a high-energy planetary ball mill and have been examined by the X-ray diffraction method, SEM and the thermopower methods; the tensile strength of the materials obtained has been estimated. The metastable (Fe, Cu) super...

Polymeric phosphate aluminum-ferric chloride (PPAFC) in this study was prepared. In order to obtain the optimum conditions for preparation of PPAFC, resulting in a better turbidity removal efficiency, parameters such as the molar ratio of Al/Fe, P/(Al+Fe), OH/(Al+Fe) as well as the reaction temperature were examined. Results showed that the optimal synthetic conditions were Al/Fe of 6:4, P/(Al+...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the morphological and atomic changes on the root surface by stereoscopy, field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) after erbium, chromium:yttrium, scandium, gallium, garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser irradiation in vitro. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA There have been few reports on morpholo...

Although extremely useful for a wide range of investigations, the field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) has not allowed researchers to observe living organisms. However, we have recently reported that a simple surface modification consisting of a thin extra layer, termed 'NanoSuit', can keep organisms alive in the high vacuum (10(-5) to 10(-7) Pa) of the SEM. This paper further e...

SnO2 nanowires were prepared on bare oxidized silicon, Au and SnO2 coated substrates by thermal evaporation of tin grains in argon atmosphere at 900°C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) were used to characterize the SnO2 nanowires. FE-SEM images indicated that the size of SnO2 nanowires depend on the type of substrate. Gas sensor was fabricated by ...

Microstructural properties of six samples, prepared by rapid hydrolysis of aluminum secbutoxide, were investigated at RT using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry. The results of structural analysis show that, regardless of a significant difference in the processing parameters (pH, temperature, ...
