The dispersion was examined by ultraviolet visible spectroscopy （UV-vis）, and the concentration measurement shows that the optimum concentration of GA is 0.45 g · L^-1. The dispersibility of the surface-modified MWCNTs in aqueous solution and cement matrix were investigated by transmission electron microscopy （TEM） and energy dispersive spectroscopy （EDS）, and the mechanical properties of the composites were investigated. The results show that the addition of the treated nanotubes can improve both the flexural strength and the compressive strength of the Portland cement composite significantly. The flexural strength of the composite increases up to 43.38% with the MWCNT concentration of 0.08% （by weight of cement）. The porosity and pore size distribution of the composites were measured by mercury intrusion porosimetry （MIP）, and the results indicate that the cement paste doped with MWCNTs obtained lower porosity and concentrated pore size distribution. The morphological structure was analyzed by field emission scanning electron microscopy （FESEM） and EDS. It is shown that MWCNTs act as bridges and networks across cracks and voids, which transfer the load in case of tension, and the interface bond strength between the nanotubes and matrix is very strong.展开更多

The effects of this procedure in cooking of three varieties of Iranian rice （Sang Tarom, Domsiyah and Fair） on textural and morphological properties of cooked rice grains were investigated. The results showed that this step in rice cooking reduced the hardness and increased the adhesiveness of rice grains significantly. By the use of the scanning electron microscopy, it was shown that the outer surface of cooked rice stewed by steam had less porosity and closer pores due to the modification during cooking, and better gelatinization and more expansion of starch granules compared to non-stewed samples. The use of this procedure in rice cooking to provide a fully cooked and gelatinized, softer and stickier final product is recommended.展开更多
Rubber compounds based on styrene-butadiene rubber/ethylene propylene diene monomer blends of different compositions （60/40, 70/30, 80/20, 90/10, 100/0） reinforced with 1 wt%, 3 wt%, 5 wt% and 7 wt% organoclay （Clo...Rubber compounds based on styrene-butadiene rubber/ethylene propylene diene monomer blends of different compositions （60/40, 70/30, 80/20, 90/10, 100/0） reinforced with 1 wt%, 3 wt%, 5 wt% and 7 wt% organoclay （Cloisite 20A） were prepared on a two roll mill via a vulcanization process and characterized by several techniques. Results of X-ray diffraction showed expansion of the inter-gallery distance, and transmission electron microscopy （TEM） micrographs confirmed that the prepared nanocomposite samples have intercalated and partially exfoliated structures. Cure characteristics showed that, organoclay not only accelerates the vulcanization reaction, but also gives rise to a marked increase of the torque, indicating crosslink density of the prepared compounds increases at the presence of organoclay. Mechanical properties of samples received markedly increase by clay loading due to the good interaction established between nanoclay particles and polymer matrix as it was evidenced by SEM photomicrographs. At the same time, rheological properties showed that addition of nanoclay could improve storage modulus as well as complex viscosity of SBR/EPDM samples. The results of ozone test revealed that the ozone resistance of samples significantly increases as nanoclay or EPDM content increases.展开更多
