Introduction Polymer composites reinforced by bioactive ceramics, like hydroxyapatite, have been proposed as an alternative of bioactive materials for bone repair or scaffold for tissue engineering.[1] It was demonstrated that deposition of inorganic films, like bone-like apatite, on polymer substrates is a crucial step in the development of bioactive implants.[2] Although many chemical and physical methods have been used to modify the structure of polymer surfaces by depositing thin inorganic composite, most of these techniques are based upon the use of high energy sources that ultimately can damage the polymer surfaces.

[6] studied the application of additive manufacturing for PLA structures.
They determined the optimal process parameters to achieve the desired mechanical properties of PLA structures.
Most of the existing works on the mechanical properties of PLA structures are limited to tensile strength [14, 15].

Physical characteristics, peculiarities of the structure and state of crystal defects in LiNbO3 can significantly change the change in composition - change in the relations Li/Nb or alloying [1-7].
At the same time, the strongest decrease in the effect of photorefraction is observed when the concentration of "non-photorefractive" cations exceeds "threshold" values ​​in the crystal, under which the structure of the melt and the mechanism of occurrence of alloying cations in the crystal structure change radically [2,3].
The absence of melt overheating before single crystal growth inevitably leads to the presence of undesirable microinclusions in the structure of the lithium niobate crystal.
In addition, the ring form of isochrom, especially of high orders, undergoes local breaks and discontinuities in the presence of structure defects and optical anomalies [21].

Olivine structure LiFePO4 attracted much attention as the positive material of Lithium-iron rechargeable batteries, which has the properties, such as good electrochemistry performance, stable charge-discharge, steady structure, non-poisonous, non-pollution, suitable hot environment, relative inexpensive, small volume, light scale, and so on.
To sum up, the main preparation methods can be divided into: ① solid-state chemistry (including solid-state reaction and carbothermal reduction); and ② solution chemistry [9].
All diffraction peak of the three samples were basic consistent with LiFePO4 standard spectrogram, so the three samples were the olivine structure of lithium iron phosphate.
Moreover, mixing carbon way have influence to the sample’s structure and electricity performance.

The FTIR spectra illustrates that the structure of PE is not destroyed during the extraction.
But the widespread use of non-degradable polyethylene film may bring a series of problems, such as damaging the ability to hold rain agro-ecosystems, changing the structure of soil and affecting the growth of the root [2].
Characterization of the PE structure.
Therefore, an obvious conclusion can be made that the structure of PE is not destroyed in the extraction.
The structure of PE is not destroyed during the extraction.

A new kind of latent curing agent (LCA) for epoxy resin was synthesized by the reaction of Ethylenediamine with Butylacrylate in equal molar ratios, and the chemical structure and thermal property of the LCA were studied with FTIR and TGA, respectively.
The LCA releases ethylenediamine and butyl acrylate, and ethylenediamine can react with functional groups of epoxy resin under the suitable temperature; meanwhile, linear butyl acrylate can cross-link into a network structure and cross with epoxy resin through IPN which can improve the mechanical properties of epoxy.
A Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurement was carried out on a Nicolet 8700 FTIR spectrometer to characterize the chemical structure of the synthesized LCA.
Results and discussion Chemistry structure.
All these characteristic peaks reveal synthesis of LCA is carried out as expect, resulting in sample with the desired chemical structure.

This anomaly is caused by relaxation processes in the polymer structure.
Materials with disordered structure, such as thin-film transistors, organic photocells and light-emitting diodes [2], are increasingly used for creating electronic devices.
