Structural characterization, thermal, dielectric and spectroscopic properties of di(n-pentylammonium) pentabromoantimonate(III): [n-C5H11NH3]2[SbBr5]
2008
Abstract The di( n -pentylammonium) pentabromoantimonate(III) compound has been synthesized and studied by means of a single-crystal X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermal expansion, dielectric and IR techniques. Two solid–solid phase transitions of first order: at 416/388 K and 225/224 K (heating/cooling) have been revealed. The crystal structure of [ n -C 5 H 11 NH 3 ] 2 [SbBr 5 ] has been solved at 298 K, Pna 2 1 (phase II) and at 86 K P 2 1 2 1 2 1 (phase III). The crystal structure is composed of the SbBr 5 2 - anions which form an infinite chain and four independent n -pentylammonium cations. The dielectric studies have been made in the frequency range 500 Hz–1 …
Synthesis and structural study of sodium titanium phosphate-sodium tin phosphate solid solutions. II. Thermal expansion
1993
Abstract The structure of NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 shows the space group R3c, whereas that of NaSn 2 (PO 4 ) 3 presents the space group R3 at room temperature and it undergoes a second order phase transition at 575°C from this structure to another with the space group R3c. Evolution of the structure of NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 NaSn 2 (PO 4 ) 3 solid solutions with temperature has been studied and temperature phase transition established for the compositions studied. Lattice thermal expansion of NaTi 2−x Sn x (PO 4 ) 3 solid solutions with x = 1, 1.2, 1.5 has been determined from x-ray diffraction data at temperatures ranging from 26 to 1000°C. DSC and dilatometric measurements have been also carried out o…
Experimental and theoretical study to explain the morphology of CaMoO4 crystals
2018
Abstract CaMoO 4 crystals were prepared by a controlled co-precipitation method and processed in a domestic microwave-assisted hydrothermal system with two different surfactants (ethyl 4-dimethylaminobenzoate and 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic dianhydride). The corresponding structures were characterized by X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement techniques, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet–visible absorption spectroscopy, and photoluminescence measurements. Field emission scanning electron microscopy was used to investigate the morphology of the as-synthesized aggregates. The structure, the surface stability of the (001), (112), (100), (110), (101), and (111) surfaces…
High proton conduction in a chiral ferromagnetic metal-organic quartz-like framework.
2011
A complex-as-ligand strategy to get a multifunctional molecular material led to a metal-organic framework with the formula (NH(4))(4)[MnCr(2)(ox)(6)]·4H(2)O. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that the anionic bimetallic coordination network adopts a chiral three-dimensional quartz-like architecture. It hosts ammonium cations and water molecules in functionalized channels. In addition to ferromagnetic ordering below T(C) = 3.0 K related to the host network, the material exhibits a very high proton conductivity of 1.1 × 10(-3) S cm(-1) at room temperature due to the guest molecules.
Synthesis of single crystalline sub-micron rutile TiO2 rods using hydrothermal treatment in acidic media
2014
Size engineered rutile sub-micron rods were obtained from nanostructured titania under acidic conditions. The synthesis was performed by hydrothermal treatment starting from TiO2-P25 and HCl. The synthesis proceeds in less than two hours and can be up-scaled to several grams in a one-pot reaction by increasing the reaction time. The product is single-phase, and the particles are single crystalline as confirmed by electron diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction analysis. The length of the particles can be varied over a wide range from 100 nm to 1.3 μm by changing the acid concentration. Particle growth is proposed to proceed by a dissolution-recrystallization process via soluble [TiCl6]2− …
Isotactic polypropylene solidification under pressure and high cooling rates. A master curve approach
2000
Solidification in industrial processes very often involves flow fields, high thermal gradients and high pressures: the development of a model able to describe the polymer behavior becomes complex. Recently a new equipment has been developed and improved to study the crystallization of polymers when quenched under pressure. An experimental apparatus based on a modified, special injection moulding machine has been employed. Polymer samples can be cooled at a known cooling rate up to 100 °C/s and under a constant pressure up to 40 MPa. Density, Micro Hardness (MH), Wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), and annealing measurements were then used to characterize the obtained sample morphology. Res…

Differential scanning calorimetry investigation of phase transition in $BaZr_{x}Ti_{1-x}O_{3}$
2009
ABSTRACT Lead-free BaZrxTi1-xO3 (x = 0; 0.025; 0.125) ceramics have been obtained by a conventional method. A single-phase perovskite structure of the ceramics was identified by the X-ray diffraction method. EDS analysis, performed for the individual grains of the tested sample, showed a good homogeneous distribution of all elements throughout the grains. The thermal behaviour of BaZrxTi1-xO3 (x = 0; 0.025; 0.125) ceramics was studied using the Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Measurements showed the influence of Zr addition on the character of phase transition in the BaTiO3 structure. The results were compared with these ones obtained for pure BaTiO3.
Inorganic gels as precursors of TiO2 photocatalysts prepared by low temperature microwave or thermal treatment
2008
Abstract A simple procedure for preparing active TiO2 photocatalysts is presented. The starting materials were unusual TiO2 gels formed from TiCl4. The use of microwaves for a very short time enhanced the TiO2 crystallinity preventing an increase of particle size and minimizing the decrease of specific surface area. This result makes this preparation very attractive. The formation of the gels was monitored through measurements of viscosity. All the samples were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and BET specific surface area measurements. The photoactivity of the samples was evaluated using the photodegradation of 4-nitrophenol in liquid–solid regi…
Innovative user defined density profile approach to fsw of aluminium foam
2007
Metallic foams are one of the most exciting materials in the world of mechanical industry due to their reduced mass and the good mechanical, thermal and acoustic characteristics. Consequently, their application, is increasing day by day even with the important drawbacks that reduce their suitability and diffusion such as high manufacturing cost and difficulty in processing. An innovative approach is outlined in this paper that enables the production of complex shapes taking advantage of deformation processing and friction stir welding (FSW). The aim is to create customized tailored manufactured parts. The cellular construction of foams makes this approach rather challenging as the cell wall…
