Studies on the interactions of metal oxides and Na2 SO4 at 1100 and 1200 K in oxygen

The interaction of different metal oxides such as Co₃O₄, NiO, Al₂O₃, Cr₂O₃, Fe₂O₃ and SiO₂ with Na₂SO₄ at a temperature of 1100 and 1200 K in flowing oxygen has been studied. The thermogravimetric studies for each system were carried out as a function of Na₂SO₄ in the mixture. The presence of different constituents in the reaction products were identified by X-ray diffraction analysis and the morphologies of the reaction products were characterized using metallography and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The formation of products was also investigated by thermodynamic computation of free energies of the reactions and the study of relevant equilibrium phase diagrams. The soluble species in the aqueous solutions of the reaction products were determined quantitatively using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The high temperature interaction products usually contain a 3-phase structure namely, Na₂O·M₂O _x , M₂O _x and metal sulphide and/or metal sulphate. The formation of Na₂O·M₂O _x depends upon the solid state solubility of metal oxide in the molten salt at high temperatures. Under limited solubility conditions Na₂O·M₂O _x is invariably formed, but as soon as this condition is relaxed the oxide. M₂O _x , precipitates and forms a separate phase.     

Multiple morphologies of self-assembled star aggregates of amphiphilic PEO-b-PNPMA diblock copolymers in solution, synthesis and micellization

Novel amphiphilic block copolymers, poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(p-nitrophenyl methacrylate) (PEO-b-PNPMA) with controlled molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distribution were successively synthesized by ATRP of NPMA using PEO-Br as initiator. Self-assembling of the diblock copolymer PEO₁₁₃-b-PNPMA₂₈ in the different solvent mixtures yielded various morphologies of star micelle-like aggregates, such as spheres, vesicles, cauliflower-like aggregates and rod-like aggregates, which are determined by the nature of the common solvents and the selective solvents. Thus the critical selective solvent contents and the solvent contents in PNPMA-rich phase were measured, and they have the following order: ethanol > methanol > water, and THF > CH₃NO₂ > DMSO. The probable self-assembling mechanism is discussed. This method is convenient for preparation of multiple morphological star micelle-like aggregates in solution, especially from the amphiphilic block copolymers with relatively longer block shell.

Tailoring the morphology of hydroxyapatite particles using a simple solvothermal route

Nanometric and sub-micrometric monodispersed hydroxyapatite (HAp) particles with different morphologies (spheres and rods) were synthesized via a simple solvothermal method using Ca(NO₃)₂·4H₂O and P₂O₅ as starting materials without any requirement to use organic templates. The growth, evolution and purity of the nanoparticles were investigated by controlling the synthesis conditions, including the alkalinity and the temperature of the solvothermal treatment. The increasing of the alkaline ratio results in a great change of the elaborated particles’ morphology that evolved from anisotropic forms (nanorods, sub-micrometric rod) at pH 9, short rod particles at pH 9.5 to spherical ones at higher pH (pH≥10).Powder X-Ray diffractometry (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Nitrogen adsorption and desorption studies (BET) were used to characterize the structure and composition of the as-prepared samples.The thermal analysis of the synthesized particles conducted by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) shows a good stability for all morphologies with a degradation temperature reaching 1300 °C.     

Hierarchical,template-free self-assembly morphologies in CeO2 synthesized via urea-hydrothermal method

Nano-crystalline CeO₂ was synthesized via the urea-hydrothermal method without templates or structure-directing agents. The synthesis parameters Ce³⁺ to Ce⁴⁺ and urea to cation molar ratios, reaction temperature and reaction time were varied to analyze their effect on morphology, texture and reducibility. The analysis of the obtained morphologies provides strong evidence of a hierarchical and sequential template-free self-assembly process that evolves from shuttles to dumbbells to spheres. In all cases, the morphology of samples remains unchanged even after calcination at 500 °C. The presence of Ce⁴⁺ in the initial solution clearly provides the full self-assembly sequence and is decisive for obtaining non-hollow spheres of CeO₂ with high specific surface area and high pore volume. Besides, if only Ce³⁺ is present, typical CeOHCO₃ shuttle-like particles with orthorhombic structure are obtained. The use of Ce³⁺ in combination with Ce⁴⁺ produces partial sequences of the self-assembly process that provide a strong indication of the hierarchical sequence.The urea to cation molar ratio controls the nucleation process and proves to be crucial to obtain the self-assembly sequence. On the other hand, temperature and reaction time show a moderate effect on morphology.
