In this study were to explore the properties of interaction between cellulose and calcium carbonate particle (CaCO3) which derive from Papia Undulates Shell in procedure of biocomposite synthesis. The structural properties of cellulose powder Papia Undulates Shell and cellulose-calcium carbonate composite film were investigated by using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and the compositions of cellulose/CaCO3 biocomposite film were studied by Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF). The experimental results demonstrated the morphology of Papia Undulates Shell were crystalline aragonite phase and the cellulose have structural as amorphous-crystalline but after film forming the composite film between cellulose and Papia Undulates Shell also have amorphous structural. The result of FTIR used to confirmed the formation of bonding between molecular, it indicated that the cellulose/CacO3 biocomposite film had good biocompatibility due to the biocomposite film have both characteristic feature of CO3-2 group (~874 cm-1 and ~713 cm-1) and the glucose of cellulose at ~1635, ~1064 and ~946 cm-1. Another that, the result from EDXRF shown the chemical composition of organic compound of cellulose/CaCO3 biocomposite film was highest with 99.437 while the Papia Undulates Shell have 0.341 Wt% with corresponding with the ratio of filler material which mixture as 1%. So that, the cellulose/calcium carbonate bicomposite film could be candidate for biocomposite film application.
Titanium aluminium (TiAl) alloy thin films were deposited on silicon wafer and stainless steel substrate by sputtering method. The effects of the Al/Ti target current ratio (R) on chemical composition, structure, surface morphology, wettability, and corrosion resistance of the deposited films were investigated using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), contact angle measurement, and potentiostat, respectively. In the experiment, when the Al/Ti target current ratio increased from 0.375 to 1.5, the Al/Ti concentration ratio of the deposited films increased. When the Al/Ti target current ratios were 1.0 and 1.5, the deposited film structure exhibited γ-TiAl phase with tetragonal crystal structure. Moreover, the Al/Ti target current ratio of 1.5 provided the deposited film with the highest crystallinity, surface roughness, hydrophobicity, and corrosion resistance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
