parkia biglobosa starch was subjected to different heat-moisture treatment (hmt) at different moisture contents (15, 20, 25, and 30%) at 110oc for 16 hours. the content of resistant starch (rs) was the lowest (33.38%) in the untreated native parkia and increased in the samples with hmt-15 (37.79%), hmt-30 (39.64%), hmt-25 (46.63%), and hmt-20 (50.14%), showing significant increase (p < 0.05) in...

In this research zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanoparticles and nanocomposites powders were prepared by chemical precipitation method using zinc acetate and various sulfur sources. The ZnS nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible and fourier transform infra-red. The structure of nanoparticles was studied using X-ray diffraction pattern. The ...

low density polyethylene films incorporating different types of organically modified nanoclays were prepared. physical, surface morphology and mechanical properties of the films were analyzed by x-ray diffraction pattern, scanning electron microscopy and tensile strength (ts) and length increase until fracture point (e) parameters, respectively. colony counting method was used to investigate an...

Electron microscopy techniques yield information for crystal structure analysis that is remarkably complementary to that obtained from X-ray powder diffraction data. Structures of polycrystalline materials that resist solution by either method alone can sometimes be solved by combining the two. For example, the intensities extracted from an X-ray powder diffraction pattern are kinematical and c...
