The ZnO powders containing Ag loadings between 1 and 9 mol%, clearly showed two different characteristic diffraction patterns of the ZnO crystals in a wurtzite structure (JCPDS card number 36-1451) and a cubic structure of metallic Ag (JCPDS card number 87-0718).
With an increase of the Ag+ ions in the starting solution, the branching rod’s dimension decreased and tended to form a pallet-like structure.

Introduction Sialon have many excellent properties, such as mechanical, thermal, chemical properties as well as better optical property. α-sialon (Mm/3Si12-(m+n)Alm+nOnN16-n, where M, the stabilizer of α-sialon structure, is the cations such as Ca, Mg, Y and rare-earth elements) and β-sialon (Si6-zAlzOzN8-z) are the two phase of sialon.
In addition, a stabilizer can be incorporate into α-sialon structure, together with the substitution of aluminum and oxygen for part of the silicon and nitrogen, resulting in ceramics with reduced amounts of residual glassy phase [4].

Catalytic Cracking of LLDPE over MCM-48 Jong-Ki Jeon1, Hyun Ju Park2, Jin-Heong Yim 3, Ji Man Kim 4, Jinho Jung5 and Young-Kwon Park2,a 1 Department of Chemical Engineering, Kongju National University, Gongju, 314-701, Korea 2Faculty of Environmental Engineering, University of Seoul, Seoul 130-743, Korea 3 Division of Advanced Materials Engineering, Kongju National University, Gongju, 314-701, Korea 4Department of Chemistry, Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon 440-746, Korea 5 Division of Environmental Science & Ecological Engineering, Korea University, Seoul, 136-713, Korea aCorresponding author: catalica@uos.ac.kr Keywords: LLDPE, catalytic degradation, Al-MCM-48, catalytic stability Abstract.
Recent reports on MCM-48 suggest that the cubic structure would be suitable for catalytic reactions, and three-dimensional interwoven structure would resist pore blockage [2].
This is mainly due to the fact that the three-dimensional pore structures of Al-MCM-48 may resist generating cokes.

Analysis on the Bonding Property of the Propellant and Liner Guohui Chen1,a, Jun Tian1,b,Chen Liu1,c, Dong Li1,d, Xianghui Lu1,e 1 Xi’an Modern chemistry Research Institute, xi’an710065, China aborder_chen@126.com,btianjun0431@163.com,ccrazy@mail.ustc.edu.cn, dbrave0214@126.com,e63702372@qq.com Keywords: processing agent, filler, liner, bonding strength Abstract: The properties of interface and bonding between the liner and propellant were systematically studied with regard to MAPO content, filler and plasticizer types, and vulcanized agent.
As a mater of fact, the molecular sieve was the best filler to improve bonding strength of propellant and liner system, because molecular sieve has condensed structure of sillico aluminate, SiO4 tetrahedron and AlO4 tetrahedron which consist of three-dimensional network structure by sharing oxygen and it has regular crystal structure, open the adjustable macroscopic system, large specific surface area, and the crystal with larger coulomb and polarity.

Theory of the Removal Function The process of bonnet tool polishing, which is not just the mechanical cutting and chemistry, molecules have been moving on the being polished surface as well.
Bonnet and component contact problem is complex and affected by multiple factors, such as the bonnet radius, structure, material properties, and the precession angle.
ANSYS can achieve nonlinear analysis of the structure, and calculate the high precision results.
Due to the symmetrical relationship of the structure, only 1/2 of the model is taking to be analyzed.

A Study of the Effect of Starch in Polymer Blends of Carboxymethyl Cellulose and Chitosan Noppawat Keungputponga, Nuanjan Matchariyakulb and Sunan Tiptipakornc Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Liberal Arts and Science, Kasetsart University, Kamphaengsaen, NakhonPathom 73140, Thailand anop_13010@hotmail.com, bfaasnjm@ku.ac.th, cfaassntk@ku.ac.th Keywords: Chitosan, Carboxymethyl cellulose, Glutaraldehyde, Starch, Crosslinking.
It is because the most stable structure or the most crosslinked bonds is the ratio of 3:2.
Summary The stability of structure and thermal properties were increasedby adding GL in polymer blends.
In part II, The stability of structure, thermal and swelling properties were increased and crosslinking was decreased with adding starch.

This is very important for the casting of massive structures.

Due to the excellent properties (such as high mechanical properties), the nano-structured ceramic composites have attracted widespread interests and research activities in recent years.
Usually, nano-sized powders are used to prepare nano-structured ceramic composites, but large scale synthesis of nano-sized TiB2 or TiN powders is difficult and expensive.

The crystallographic structure of composite powders was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) using a Philips X' Pert MPD diffractometer using a Cu Kα-radiation.
Unsoaked composites (shown in Fig.1a) shows a crystalline apatite structure with reflections (002), (211), (112), (202), respectively appeared at 25.9°, 31.9°, 32.4°and 34.1°, comparative with the XRD pattern of HA powder (JCPDS #09-0432).
The size and structure of pores become smaller and denser, which induces the rate of drug release is slower.
