In this article, we have investigated the role of dimethylamine (DMA), tributylamine (TBA), Triethanoleamine (TEA), Trishydroxymethylamine (TRIZMA), and Hexamethyleneterraamine (HMTA), in the formation of zeolitic compounds. The experiments were carried out in acidic and basic media using Si/Al< 10 and Si/A1>10. The structure of the resulting synthetic zeolites were similar to Natro Davyne,...

in present study we studied using green routes for microwave assisted synthesis of alumina nanoparticles from aluminum nitrate. it was revealed that when plant extracts are used, no specific stabilizer is needed. structural characterization of nanoparticles was studied using x-ray diffraction that showed semi-crystalline structure for two of plant extracts, other xrd patterns had no significant...

the thin gelatin films, prepared by casting of gelatin solutions at different drying temperatures, had different molecular morphologies as monitored, using wide angle x-ray diffraction (waxd) and differential scanning calorimetry (dsc) techniques. it was revealed that gelatin films dried at lower temperatures showed markedly higher crystalline or helical structure with slightly higher tg and lo...

Crossover of mesophase to crystalline structure in the nanoconfinement crystallization process of frustrated side groups elucidates the critical crystal thickness d(c) or the length scale of side groups, which defines the transition process from mesophase (hexagonal and monoclinic phase) to crystalline phase (orthorhombic phase) of confined CH(2) sequences in a given crystal size restriction.

magnesium hydroxide mg(oh)2 nanorods with diameters of 90±10nm and lengths of more than 2μms were prepared by a simple route at ~75oc in ambient air. the approach is based on reaction of magnesium powder and de-ionized water without the use of any harmful, toxic or corrosive reagents. characterization using x-ray diffraction (xrd) shows single crystalline structure of mg(oh)2 (brucite) whereas ...

this study reports the simple process to synthesis of cuo/cui nanocomposite in a non-aqueous solution. in the conducted experiments cui and dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso) were used as the precursors. moreover, dmso had role of solvent and ligand simultaneously. in experiments the effects of oleic acid as the particles size modifier, temperature and concentration were investigated. crystalline struct...

We report a detailed study of the effects that crystalline disorder has on the magnetic relaxation and quantum tunneling of Mn12 benzoate clusters. Thanks to the absence of interstitial molecules in the crystal structure of this molecular compound, we have been able to isolate the influence of long-range crystalline disorder. For this, we compare results obtained under two extreme situations: a...

Transformation of Al(NO3)3∙9H2O (upon heating in the range of 20-1200 °C) into blends of amorphous and crystalline boehmite (210-525 °C), amorphous alumina and crystalline γ-Al2O3 (850 °C), and crystalline α-Al2O3 (1100 °C) was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), infrared (IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and low-temperature nitro...
