Paleointensity Measurement of Zircon-Bearing Quartz
Cited 7 times
Procedures follow those outlined in Tarduno et al. (1 (link)) and Cottrell et al. (21 ). Below, we briefly review salient points of these techniques and include new methods applied at AIST. For the preparation of oriented zircons, the geographic orientation line of the field-collected hand sample was transcribed onto the cut billet from which the 300- to 500- μ m thick sections were derived. All documentation photographs were taken relative to the projection of the down dip azimuth plane (vertical). Zircons in quartz were isolated from the same sections that were studied by Cottrell et al. (21 ) for paleomagnetic directions held by fuchsite. Excess material was etched away using a sodium silicate–alumina powder to leave a small pillar of zircon in quartz on the oriented microscope slide. The slide was then trimmed to an area ∼ 2 mm × 2 mm in size with the pillar of zircon in quartz centered on the subslide. To study the TRM imparted at 565 ° C on zircon in quartz versus quartz alone, a sample originally measured by Tarduno et al. (1 (link)) was removed from the microscope subslide with the use of acetone and distilled water in an oscillating water bath. The sample was then remounted in a 27-mm × 27-mm × 2-mm fused quartz slide that had been precision drilled with a diamond tip to produce a 600- μ m diameter well, ∼ 500 μ m deep. Both quartz and zircon in quartz from the same slide (slide1-z1) and quartz of approximately the same dimensions were then given a TRM with a 40-W Synrad CO2 laser at AIST and transferred, using Mu-metal shields, to the AIST SSM for measurement. SSM measurements (32 ) were conducted in a scanning area of 6 mm × 6 mm at 50 μ m grid spacing. The distance of the sensor to the surface of a slide is calculated as ∼ 240 μ m based on a precision line current scan. The simplified 565 ° C paleointensity approach (1 (link)) was applied to limit the effects of laboratory-induced alteration. After measurement of the NRM, the sample was gradually heated in field-free space; this was accomplished by holding the temperature for 1 min at 100 ° C temperature increments to 500 ° C. Thereafter, the temperature was increased to 565 ° C for an additional 1 min and then allowed to cool, for 3 to 5 min. A second heating to 565 ° C was performed next in the presence of a field. Finally, a multidomain check was performed by reheating the sample to 565 ° C in the absence of a field. Analyses in ref. 1 (link) indicate that paleointensity values obtained at 565 ° C are within a factor of 2 of full Thellier–Coe results.

Synthesis and Surface Modification of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles
Cited 6 times
The basic synthesis of MSNP was conducted by mixing the silicate source tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) with the templating surfactants cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in basic aqueous solution (pH 11). In a round bottom flask, 100 mg CTAB was dissolved in a solution of 48 ml distilled water and 0.35 ml sodium hydroxide (2 M). The solution was heated to 80°C and stirred vigorously. After the temperature had stabilized, 0.5 ml TEOS was added slowly into the heated CTAB solution. After 15 min, 0.23 mmol of the organosilane solution was added into the mixture. 3-trihydroxysilylpropyl methylphosphonate was used for phosphonate surface modification, and aminopropyltriethoxy silane (APTS) was used for amine surface modification. After 2 hr, the solution was cooled to room temperature and the materials were washed with methanol using centrifugation. In order to incorporate fluorescent dye molecules in the silicate framework, fluorescein-modified silane was first synthesized and then mixed with TEOS. To synthesize fluorescein-modified silane, 2.4 μL APTS was mixed with 1 mg fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) in 0.6 ml absolute ethanol, and stirred for 2 hr under inert atmosphere. In another formulation, rhodamine B isothiocyanate (RITC) was used instead of FITC to synthesize rhodamine B-modified APTS. The dye-modified silane was then mixed with TEOS before adding the mixture into the heated CTAB solution. The surfactants were removed from the pores by refluxing the particles in a mixture of 20 ml methanol and 1 ml hydrochloric acid (12.1 M) for 24 hr. The materials were then centrifuged and washed with methanol.
For the poly(ethylene glycol) modification, 1 g of poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether (MW 5 KD, mPEG) was dried under vacuum for 30 min and dissolved in 5 ml dioxane (with slight heating). mPEG has only one reactive end that can be attached to the particle surface and limits the coupling process only to that end, whereas normal PEG has two reactive ends and may cause particle cross-linking. 307.4 mg disuccinimidyl carbonate (DSC) was dissolved in 2 ml anhydrous DMF (with slight heating) and mixed with the mPEG solution. 146.6 mg 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine was dissolved in 2 ml acetone and added slowly into the mPEG solution The mixture was stirred for 6 hours under an inert atmosphere. The polymer was precipitated by the addition of 30 ml diethyl ether to the solution and separated by centrifugation. After washing the polymer twice with diethyl ether, the activated mPEG was dried under vacuum. 60 mg of amine-modified MSNP was washed and resuspended in 2 ml anhydrous DMF. 300 mg of the activated mPEG was dissolved in 9 ml DMF and mixed with the particles. The mixture was stirred for 12 hr and washed thoroughly with DMF and PBS.
To perform polyethyleneimine (PEI) modification, 5 mg of phosphonate-modified MSNP were dispersed in a solution of 2.5 mg PEI (MW 25 KD) and 1 ml absolute ethanol. The process to coat the particles with other PEI polymers (MW 0.6, 1.2, 1.8, 10 KD) was carried out similarly. After the mixture was sonicated and stirred for 30 min, the particles coated with PEI were washed with ethanol and PBS. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the amount of PEI on the particles was approximately 5 weight percent. To succinylate the PEI 25K-coated particles, 1 mg particles were resuspended in 0.25 ml anhydrous DMF and mixed with different amounts of succinic anhydride (0.15 mg, 0.075 mg, and 0.015 mg). The mixture was sonicated and stirred overnight. The succinylated particles were washed with DMF and resuspended in PBS. To fluorescently label PEI (MW 25 KD), 60 mg of PEI 25 KD was dissolved in 10 ml carbonate buffer (pH 9) and mixed with 1 mg rhodamine B isothiocyanate dissolved in 1 ml DMSO. The mixture was stirred for 24 hr at 4°C and dialyzed against distilled water. The rhodamine B-labeled PEI 25K was attached to the particles by using similar procedure for the unlabeled PEI.

The liquid-cell/micro-chamber was produced by sealing the sample between two Formvar plastic films. A NaCl sample (~99.5%) containing ~0.5% calcium silicate (MORTON table salt, Morton Salt Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) was used for the experiment, and a pure NaCl control (~99.999%, Sigma-Aldrich Co., St. Louis, MO, USA; ID: 450006, CAS: 7647-14-5) was used as a control to identify the role of the calcium silicate in the chamber. After dissolving 20 g of each sample in 40 mL of deionized water at room temperature, a ~1 mL aliquot of the saturation solution was collected from the surface into a 1 mL vial after centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 5 min to separate the undissolved salt crystals from the solution. The saturated solution was then used for experimentation (Fig. 1A).

An aliquot of the ~0.35 μL saturated NaCl solution was pipetted onto the center of a 200-mesh TEM copper pre-coated with a thin Formvar film (Cu-200F, Pacific Grid-Tech, San Francisco, CA, USA) (Fig. 1B). The second Formvar-coated 200-mesh TEM copper grid face-to-face was touched to the solution surface and expanded it to evaporate the solution quickly, generating micron-sized NaCl crystals (Fig. 1C), and then aligned under a light microscope (Fig. 1D). The aligned grids were submitted for compression under a pressure of 12 lb/in2 (~0.8 atm) for ~30 s (Fig. 1E,F). Prior to the removal of the compressive force, the excess solution surrounding the edges of the grids was blotted by filter paper, and then coated with a thin layer of vacuum grease to protect the aligned grids and its containing chamber.

Geopolymer Composites with Fiber Reinforcement
Cited 3 times
Samples were made with the use of two base materials: metakaolin and fly ash from the Skawina Combined Heat and Power Plant. A fine-grained aggregate was added to the base materials, river sand, in a 1:1 ratio. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution containing the addition of sodium water glass was added to the mixture thus prepared. The sodium base solution was obtained from technical sodium hydroxide flakes combined with an aqueous solution of sodium silicate (type R-145, density 1.45 g/cm3) (ratio of sodium base to water glass: 1:2.5). Tap water was used to prepare the solution. The chemical composition and physical parameters of the water used are presented in Table 1 [69 ].
The resulting solution was thoroughly mixed and allowed to equilibrate to a constant concentration and temperature before combining with the solids of the mixture (24 h). The dry ingredients were mixed for 15 min in a low-speed mixer, and then the obtained masses were transferred to a set of prismatic forms, combined with the fiber roving. The samples were made with three types of long fibers (aramid, glass, and carbon) with their different percentages (0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0% of the mass of loose components), and reference samples were made without the addition of fibers. The percentage selection of fibers was based on the literature review on the subject presented in the introduction [50 (link)]. The prepared masses in molds were compacted on a vibrating table. The samples were then cured for 24 h at a temperature of 75 °C in a laboratory dryer to receive a reasonable mechanical properties. After this time, the samples were cooled to ambient temperature, disassembled, and stored for the 90 days (the time used for full maturation of composites based on traditional cements). Seasoning was carried out under laboratory conditions, after which geopolymer composites were tested for bending strength.
Table 2 presents the compositions of the prepared samples, the number of series, and their mass ratios.
Mechanical strength tests and density determination were carried out for the produced sets of samples. The geometric method was used as a method for determining the density of composite geopolymer materials. Each sample was weighed with an electronic caliper (OVIBELL GmbH & Co. KG, Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany) with a dimensional accuracy of 0.01 mm and weighed on a RADWAG PS200/2000R2 analytical balance (RADWAG Wagi Elektroniczne, Radom, Poland) with an accuracy of 0.0001/0.01 g. The density was determined on the basis of the average measurements from two samples.
The three-point bending strength tests were carried out in accordance with the EN 12390-3 standard: “Concrete tests-part 5: Bending strength” on the MATEST 3000 kN device—hydraulic press (Matest, Treviolo, Italy) at a speed of 0.05 MPa, on prismatic samples with dimensions of 50 mm × 50 mm × 200 mm. The distance between the support points was l = 150 mm. The tests were carried out on the standards for testing concrete mixes due to the similar nature of the material and the planned applications in the construction industry. Currently, no standards have been developed dedicated to the testing of geopolymeric materials.
The last step of the research was the assessment of the morphology of the samples, analyzed on the material remaining after the strength tests, bending strength tests (samples from composites), and on materials as delivered (original fibers, which were used to compare the degree of degradation). A JEOL JSM 5510LV scanning electron microscope (IXR Inc., Austin, TX, USA) was used for the research. Samples were prepared in advance. Small amounts of the materials were dried to constant weight and then placed on a carbonaceous support to drain the sample charge. The materials were sprayed with a thin layer of gold with JEOL–JEE-4X (IXR Inc., Austin, TX, USA). Observations were made at different magnifications.

Sodium Silicate Hydrogel Formation
Sodium Silicate hydrogel was made by mixing 1300 μL of milliQ water with 411 μL of Na-silicate (10% w/v NaOH and 27% w/v SiO2). We tested gelation by adding 4N HCl from 150 μL up to 200 μL, with 10 μL increases, until gelation occurred. pH was measured with pH test strips; after HCl addition, pH lowered from 12 to 8 leading to hydrogel formation and a final pH biocompatible with diatoms [37 (link)]. The gel was formed in a few seconds after the addition of HCl, therefore it was prepared directly in 24-well plates.

Ternary Synergistic Flame-Retardant Coatings
In flame-retardant coatings, the mass ratio of flame-retardant to waterborne acrylic coating was set at 3:7. The waterborne acrylic coating without the addition of flame-retardant, referred to as the non-flame-retardant coating (A), was designated as the first control group. Within the waterborne acrylic coating, a certain amount of sodium silicate flame retardant was added without the use of urea or melamine modifiers to prepare the coating, referred to as the sodium silicate flame-retardant coating (AS). This was designated as the second control group. For the sodium silicate flame-retardant coating, coatings were prepared by adding urea and melamine modifiers. This was referred to as the sodium silicate/urea/melamine ternary synergistic flame-retardant coating, abbreviated as the ternary synergistic flame-retardant coating (ASMU). The ternary synergistic flame-retardant agent is prepared by mixing sodium silicate flame retardant, urea modifier, and melamine modifier in a certain ratio. The mass percentage of melamine was set at 7%, and when the mass percentages of urea were 3.5%, 7%, 10.5%, and 14%, the corresponding ternary synergistic flame-retardant coatings were labeled as ASM7U3.5, ASM7U7, ASM7U10.5, and ASM7U14, respectively. During the preparation of the ternary synergistic flame-retardant agent, waterborne acrylic coatings, sodium silicate, melamine, and urea were separately weighed according to the aforementioned ratios and placed into a beaker. The beaker containing the waterborne acrylic coatings was then placed into a constant temperature oil bath at 40 °C. Sodium silicate was added under stirring conditions and stirred for 10 min. Subsequently, melamine and urea were added separately and stirred for 30 min. After the coating was uniformly mixed, the sodium silicate/urea/melamine ternary synergistic flame-retardant coating was obtained.

Activator Composition for Mine Tailing-Based Geopolymers
The alkali activator used in this study was composed of sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate mixed in specific molar ratios. A previous study [31 ] showed that the highest compressive strength for this specific source of mine tailing AAMs was produced with a sodium hydroxide concentration of 10 M. Because the compressive strength of alkali-activated materials generally increases with increasing sodium hydroxide concentrations [32 (link)], activator concentrations of 14 M and 18 M were also explored. However, these mix designs yielded samples with large visible cracks after oven curing and excessive efflorescence (i.e., crystal growth on the surface) during water immersion, so they no longer were considered. Therefore, in this study, each activator contained 10 M sodium hydroxide and either 0, 1, or 2 M sodium silicate, termed 10 M, 10 + 1 M, and 10 + 2 M, respectively. The concentration of sodium hydroxide was the same in each activator and the only variable that differed was the concentration of sodium silicate. Not all of the alkali activators react with the mine tailings, as evidenced by the presence of sodium in the leachate after AAMs are immersed in water. However, this concentration of sodium hydroxide has previously been shown to produce the highest compressive strength for mine tailing-based AAMs, so this study continues to use 10 M NaOH as the main alkali activator.
The activators were prepared with ultrapure water (resistance > 18 MΩ), solid sodium hydroxide pellets (NaOH, Fisher Chemical, Hampton, NH, USA, CAS 1310-73-2, anhydrous, reagent grade), and sodium metasilicate powder (Na2SiO3, Fisher Chemical, CAS 6834-92-0, anhydrous, technical grade). Ultrapure water from a MilliPore MilliQ system was used in place of DI water to improve the purity of the reagents. First, the sodium silicate was mixed with ultrapure water using a magnetic mixer at 200 rpm and 90 °C to aid in dissolution. Once all the sodium silicate was dissolved, the specified quantity of sodium hydroxide was added to the solution. Then, the heating process was stopped, and the solution was mixed for 30 min to ensure complete homogeneity; finally, the activator solution was covered and left at room temperature until it was cool enough to touch. The pH value and 29Si NMR spectra of each of the activator solutions are shown in Figure 5.
The peak at −109 ppm is from Q04 four-coordinated silicate groups ( Q04 ), which are present as residual signals from the borosilicate NMR tube [33 (link)]. The 10 M activator has the largest peak in this region because there are no silicate groups in the activator. The pure sodium hydroxide does not give off a 29Si NMR spectrum, so the background signal is the strongest peak. The 10 + 1 M and 10 + 2 M activator spectra both exhibit two major peaks at −74 ppm and −68 ppm. The −74 ppm peak is from Q02 silicate groups, which are dimers of silica that originated from the sodium metasilicate in the mixture [33 (link)]. The peak at −68 ppm signifies Q0 silica, monomeric orthosilicate that is another speciation of the sodium metasilicate [33 (link)]. The 10 + 2 M activator has much stronger peaks in these two regions because the silicate is more concentrated in this activator. The measured pH is highest for the 10 M activator because it is pure sodium hydroxide with no other ions to interfere. The addition of sodium metasilicate reduces the pH of the activator through weak hydrogen bonding that reduces the activity of the hydroxide groups.
