The structure of MWCNTs and MgO/MWCNTs composite has been characterized by analyzing the X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectra and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images. Experimental results indicate that the surface of purified MWCNTs sample is covered homogenously by a layered of MgO nanoparticles.展开更多

The CPCM was added to fabric with coating techniques and the thermal activity of modified fabric was studied. In addition,the thermal property and the microstructure of CPCM were also discussed in detail by means of polarization microscope and differential scanning calorimeter,respectively. According to the analysis of main influencial factors of the property of CPCM,the optimal preparing technique was determined. It was proved that CPCM could exhibit a good thermal property while phase transformation process took place,and a better appearance of the fabric modified with CPCM could be obtained due to the fact that in a warm circumstance,the liquid-state phase change material could be firmly enwrapped and embedded in the three-dimensional network all the time during the phase transformation. Besides,the fabric treated with CPCM had a high phase-transition enthalpy and an appropriate phase-transition temperature. As a result,a desirable temperature-adjustable function appeared.展开更多

Analysis of the powder x-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns show tetragonal unit cell with lattice parameters a = 8.6545, 8.2520, 7.7645, 9.8952, 8.2863 A; b = 8.9800, 11.5788, 15.6305, 8.4766, 11.6465 A in B1-B5, respectively. The average crystallite sizes in the samples are found to be in the range 69.56-119.48 A. Energy dispersive analysis of x-rays (EDAX) result shows the presence of Fe, Nd, Cs and O, and Fe, Nd, Zn, Cs and O in B 1 (x=0) and B2(x=0.25)-B5(x= 1.0), respectively. The IR results at 300 K show the presence of octahedral [NdO6/2]^3- (asymmetric stretch: 410-416 cml) and [FeO6/2]^3-(symmetric stretch: 562-572 cm^-1) units in the samples. Observed magnetic moments versus magnetic field plots in the range -10 kG to +10 kG exhibit hysteresis loops with average magnetic susceptibility values in the range 3.46 × 10^-5 -7.05 × 10^-5 emu/gG in B1-B5 shows fairly strong ferromagnetic nature of the samples. The observed EPR lineshapes at 300 and 77 K with giso=2.01-2.03 and giso=2.01-2.03, respectively is ascribed to the octahedral [FeO6/2]^3- coordination of Fe^3+ (3d^5) ion. The optical absorption spectra show the transition of ^4I9/2→^4F7/2→^ 4S3/2 (750 nm) of optically active Nd^3+ ions in samples.展开更多
