Al3Ni and Al3Ti alloys were prepared by arc melting and exposed to chemical leaching in 5M NaOH at room temperature. In case of Al3Ni alloy, Al reached phases react with the leaching solution to produce nanoporous nickel with a pore diameter in the range of ~10–20 nm. Only pure Al phase of Al3Ti alloy chemically reacts with the production of a dense wrinkled surface with a wrinkle size of ~50–100 nm.
The phase equilibrium diagram of the Y-Cu-Ge ternary system was constructed at 870 K by X-ray diffractometry, metallographic and electron probe microanalyses over the whole concentration range.
The edible films from potato starch, chemically modified food starch refined from high amylose corn, carbohydrate polymer from a waxy corn and a special high-temperature dextrin refined from tapioca starch were studied according to organoleptic characteristics. The greatest elongation (108 %) and strength (47.6 MPa) were found to be with a film based on potato starch. The modified starches such as dextrin and tapioca starch retain amorphous of film structure better than others.
The structure of CuCl2, CuCl catalyst active centres on the surface of γ-Al2O3 has been investigated on the basis of X-ray diffraction analysis. The influence of the catalyst structure on the mechanism of ethylene oxidative chlorination has been determined. Using mass spectroscopy the difference in the structure of active centers and the mechanism of the deposited and impregnated types of CuCl2, CuCl/γ-Al2O3 catalysts in the process of ethylene oxidative chlorination into 1,2-dichlorethane has been studied.
The morphology, composition, optical, thermal and mechanical properties of a commercial pearlescent and multilayer biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films were determined. The structure and orientation of BOPP films were confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and EDX analysis. The films surface roughness was determined by AFM method. The tensile strength of the films was determined in machine and transverse directions.
