Optical and Morphological Analysis of Fibers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The optical and morphological properties of fibers are analyzed by polarizing optical microscopy (POM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). POM is done in transmission mode using an Olympus BX51 equipped with a Linkam (T95 series LTS120E, Surrey, UK) heating/cooling stage, an Olympus DP73 camera (Tokyo, Japan) and a Canon EOS760D camera (Tokyo, Japan). SEM imaging of the fibers are done using JEOL JSM-6010LA (Akishima, Japan) being operated in 12–15 kV range using an In-lens secondary electron detector. For SEM imaging fiber samples are gold coated (≈25 nm thickness) using a sputter coater (Balzers SCD 050 Sputter Coater) for 100 s. SEM image analysis is done using ImageJ® software to calculate the fiber diameter [42 (link)]. The average fiber diameter is calculated by analyzing 50 fibers from different sample locations. Infrared spectroscopy (IR) is done using a Thermo ScientificTM NicoletTM iS5 spectrometer with id5 ATR accessory.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The changes in chemical structure, which have arisen under the influence of the performed mercerization and silanization of wood waste were recorded using a Nicolet iS5 spectrometer equipped with a diamond crystal in an attenuated total reflectance unit manufactured by Thermo Electron Corporation (Madison, USA with Labsoft, Warsaw as representation in Poland). All analyses were carried out at room temperature. First, the small amount of pre-dried filler in a form of fine-grained waste flour was transferred onto the crystal attenuated total reflectance unit (iD7 ATR, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, USA with Labsoft, Warsaw as representation in Poland). Followed by pressing the filler with a spatula to cover the crystal with an even layer of the analyzed sample. Then, the waste flour was additionally pressed down with a screw equipped with an attachment for loose samples to tightly compress the sample of filler. Spectra were recorded for wavenumbers in the range of 4000–600 cm−1 in 4 cm−1 intervals. Sixteen scans were averaged. Within the paper, registered spectra are presented using the dependence of transmittance T (%) and wavenumber v (cm−1). The obtained results were processed using the Omnic 9.6 computer program.

using an RF-5301PC fluorescence spectrophotometer (Shimadzu, Japan).
FT-IR spectra were recorded on a Nicolet iS5 spectrometer (Thermo
Electron Corporation). Powder XRD patterns of the prepared QDs were
obtained on a BDX330 X-ray diffractometer using Cu K radiation. XPS
measurements were performed by using an AMICUS surface analysis spectrometer.
TEM images of the nanoparticles were carried out with a Hitachi H-600

by a Hitachi U-3010 spectrophotometer. CD spectra were performed using
a Jasco J-810 spectropolarimeter using samples in aqueous solution;
all the samples and free cysteine were measured at neutral solution
(pH ∼7). All the QD solutions were diluted to make sure the
absorption peaks are kept below an optical density of 1.2. All the
curves were averaged from the results of five repeats of the measurements.

X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns are obtained with DX-2700 X-ray diffractometer (Cu-Ka radiation, λ = 1.54 Å). The morphology of the as-prepared samples was measured using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra were measured with a Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS5 spectrometer, with a resolution of 4.000 cm−1 in the range of 400–4000 cm−1, using the attenuated total reflection mode. The room magnetic temperature hysteresis loops were obtained on a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM, manufactured by Lakeshore, Inc.). The chemical states and surface components of the samples were measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) on an Thermo Scientific K-Alpha spectrometer. Based on coaxial-line theory, the related EMW parameters of samples in the frequency of 2–18 GHz range were measured on a vector network analyzer (VNA, 3672B-S, Ceyear). Samples were wrapped into paraffin at a filling ratio of 15 wt% and then shaped into a toroid with 7 mm outer diameter and 3.04 mm inner diameter. The infrared thermal images (FLIR ONE PRO) were taken to visualize the heat insulation process of the samples on a heating platform. Micromagnetic simulation and cross-section (RCS) simulation were described in detail in the supporting information.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
