Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to study the porous and non-porous alpha-tricalcium phosphate (alpha-Ca-3(PO4)(2), alpha-TCP) prepared through a sintering procedure at 1200-1400 degrees C of beta-tricalcium phos ...
Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) have been used to study the microstructural changes and phase development that take place during the hydration of cubic (pure) and orthorhombic (Na-doped) tricalcium aluminate ...
Nanostructure ZnO hollow microspheres with average crystallite size of about 15 nm, and average diameters of about 1 mu m, were successfully fabricated through a novel hydrothermal method. Hollow microspheres were formed due to self-assembly of ZnO oblong ...
Surface processing of a Ti–6Al–4V alloy led to a complex multilayered microstructure containing several phases of the Ni–Ti–P–Al–O system, which improves the mechanical and tribological surface properties. The microstructure, chemical and phase composition ...
W-(0.3-2)Y2O3 and W-(0.3-2)Y materials (in wt.%) have been manufactured by conventional powder metallurgy methods including dry mechanical alloying of elemental powders in Ar atmosphere, cold pressing in air using a pressure in the range of 150-250 MPa and ...
The formation of LiBD4 by the reaction of LiD in a diborane/hydrogen atmosphere was analysed by in situ neutron diffraction and subsequent microstructural and chemical analysis of the final product. The neutron diffraction shows that nucleation of LiBD4 al ...
W-(0.3-2)Y2O3 and W-(0.3-2)Y materials (in wt.%) have been manufactured by conventional powder metallurgy methods including dry mechanical alloying of elemental powders in Ar atmosphere, cold pressing in air using a pressure in the range of 150-250 MPa and ...
In this study, the inclusion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes as the second phase in the hydroxyapatite matrix, in order to improve the mechanical strength, has been performed via the sol-gel process. The stability of carbon nanotube sol with the changes o ...
We show that the rod-shaped Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) can be coated with the wide band gap semiconductor zinc oxide by electroless deposition under mild reaction conditions. The process involves pretreatment with aqueous Pd(II), followed by nucleation of ...
Formation of nacre (mother-of-pearl) is a biomineralization process of fundamental scientific as well as industrial importance. However, the dynamics of the formation process is still not understood. Here, we use scanning electron microscopy and high spati ...
