Physico-chemical characterization was performed before and after calcination by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, solid state (31)P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The formation of nanocomposites was observed by wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The spectral and crystallographic data indicated the formation of hydroxyapatite in the presence of CMC. They were observed as aggregates of HA nanoparticles and CMC, whose sizes were approximately similar to 260 +/- 40 nm. The crystallite size of the hydroxyapatite particles decreased (with 2 wt% 18 +/- 3 nm) with increasing CMC content. The morphological aspects of the calcined samples revealed the sintering ability of HA nanoparticles. Nanocomposites of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles that mimic the process of nucleation and growth in nature can be prepared using biomacromolecules such as CMC.</p>10abiopolymer10acellulose10ahydroxyapatite10aNanoparticles10aParticle size10aX-ray diffraction1 aKumar, Annamalai, Pratheep1 aMohaideen, Kamal, Khaja1 aAlariqi, Sameh, A.

In this route, a mixed solution containing Al-nitrate, Ca-nitrate, Ba-nitrate, zirconyl nitrate and titanyl nitrate in the molar proportion required for synroc-B is added to dilute ammonia solution to precipitate these cations in the form of their hydroxides at room temperature by maintaining pH approximate to 10.5 during precipitation. Formation of a major fluorite phase with minor amounts of anatase, rutile and hollandite phases is observed in the powder obtained after calcination in air at 750 degrees C. Multiphase crystalline synroc-B matrix containing hollandite, perovskite, zirconolite, and rutile phases is obtained after sintering the heat treated powder in the form of pellets at 1230 degrees C for 4h in air. Similarly, pure synroc-C phases with 14 and 20% simulated waste loadings were synthesized following the same synthesis protocol. These pre-treated powders with a high surface area of similar to 25 m(2) g(-1) gave sintered ceramics having density of similar to 90% for 14 and 20% waste loadings. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.

A novel concept of enhancing the magnetostrictive strain of sintered cobalt ferrite by making self-composites from nanosized and bulk powders with different particle sizes of the same material as components is reported. The self-composites give higher magnetostriction coefficient and strain derivative when compared to the sintered products obtained from the individual powders. The individual components give a maximum magnetostriction up to similar to 310 ppm, whereas up to similar to 370 ppm is obtained for a two-component system consisting of powders of two different sizes.

The maximum value of magnetostriction coefficient is not much affected and the slope of the magnetostriction is increased with increasing Mn content. Higher maximum value of magnetostriction coefficient (lambda) of 234 ppm comparable to that of the unsubstituted composition with larger strain derivative (d lambda/dH) is obtained for x = 0.2 in CoFe2-xMnxO4.

Nanoparticles of cobalt ferrite with different sizes in the range 3-80 nm are synthesized by an autocombustion method using metal nitrates and glycine.

Highest magnetostrictive strain and strain derivative are obtained for sintered ferrite derived from nanoparticles of size &lt; 5 nm.

Magnetostriction coefficient and strain derivative are further enhanced by magnetic field annealing and relatively larger enhancement in the magnetostriction parameters is obtained for the samples sintered at lower temperatures, after magnetic annealing, despite the fact that samples sintered at higher temperatures show larger magnetostriction coefficients before annealing. A high magnetostriction coefficient of similar to 380 ppm is obtained after field annealing for the sample sintered at 1100 degrees C, below a magnetic field of 400 kA/m, which is the highest value so far reported at low magnetic fields for sintered polycrystalline cobalt ferrite.

It is observed that the magnetostriction coefficient as well as the slope of the magnetostriction as a function of field depends on the microstructure of the sintered product. There is a direct correlation between the magnetostriction characteristics and density as well as porosity of the sintered products. Intragranular pores are found to be strongly influencing the magnetostriction characteristics. Similarly, correlation is found between the magnetostriction parameters and the Curie temperature, indicating the role of cation distribution which affects the magnetic anisotropy. Sintering the compacts made from nanocrystalline powders at 1450 degrees C for a very short duration is found to give high values of magnetostriction coefficient. However, higher values of magnetostriction at low magnetic fields are obtained for samples sintered at lower temperatures for longer duration and having relatively lower density.
