the knoevenagel condensation of aromatic aldehydes with barbituric acid, dimedone and malononitrile occurred in the presence of bf3/nano-γ-al2o3 at room temperature in ethanol. this catalyst is characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), thermal gravimetric analysis (tga), field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem) and energy-disper...

SnCl4/nano-sawdust was prepared as a carbohydrate-based catalyst containing of tin bearing cellulose units. The catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The catalyst was applied successfully as a readily available, inexpensive, biodeg...

High quality x-ray mapping (XRM) has been used for over 30 years by experienced wavelength dispersive spectroscopy (WDS) operators. Manufacturers have been developing similar techniques using energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) over the last 20 years. This has been generally unsuccessful due to a number of problems such as poor computer specifications, cost, time to map and generally poor peak...

The Knoevenagel condensation of aromatic aldehydes with barbituric acid, dimedone and malononitrile occurred in the presence of BF3/nano-γ-Al2O3 at room temperature in ethanol. This catalyst is characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy-disper...

Current methods of gunshot residue (GSR) analysis concentrate on identification of the inorganic components of ammunition primer. Single particles with morphology indicative of formation in a high heat environment and containing the elements lead, barium, and antimony are considered characteristic of GSR. Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive xray spectrometry (SEM-EDS) is the wid...

Ultralow wear nature of gallium nitride (GaN) has been revealed recently. The wear rate for GaN has a significant dependence on humidity, ranging from 9 10 9 mm3/Nm to 9.5 10 7 mm3/Nm; the mechanisms responsible for this variation in wear remain unclear. Here, we performed reciprocal sliding test on GaN under different environments and characterized the chemical compositions of corresponding wo...

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) of copper and zinc synthesized with 1,4benzenedicarboxylic acid and N,N-dimethylformamide at room temperature and by solvothermal method is reported in this paper. The MOFs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and...

in the present work, bi2s3 nanostructures have been synthesized with the aid of thioglycollic acid (tga) a solvent, capping agent, and sulfide source in the presence of ultrasonic method. the as-synthesized products were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (eds), scanning electron microscope (sem), and photoluminescence (pl) spectroscopy. the band gap ...

A simple biotemplating method for the synthesis of silica (SiO2) and titania (TiO2) nanowires was designed on a fibrillar protein (alpha-synuclein) template. The diameter of SiO2 and TiO2 nanowires could be varied, between 20-100 nm, by varying the processing conditions. The nanowires were characterized by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). Due to...
