SrBi2(Ta0.5Nb0.5)(2)O-9 : W thin films obtained by chemical solution deposition: Morphological and ferroelectric characteristics

The effect of tungsten (W6+) ion substituting on dielectric and ferroelectric behavior in SrBi2(Ta0.5Nb0.5)(2)O-9 (SBTN) thin films prepared by polymeric precursor method was investigated at room temperature. The addition of W6+ ion in the SBTN lattice was evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), microstructural and dielectrical properties. An increase in the grain size is evident when tungsten is introduced in the SBTN lattice. Substitution of tungsten until 10% on B site leads to introduce space charge polarization into the system, resulting in an appreciable decrease in both dielectric constant and tangent loss. The morphology of the thin films investigated by atomic force microscopy leads to an increase in the grain size after tungsten addition. Fatigue resistance was noted with increase in tungsten addition. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

External polyacrylate-coating as alternative material for preparation of photopolymerized sol-gel monolithic column

Photopolymerized sol-gel monolithic columns for use in capillary electrochromatography were prepared in 125 mu m i.d. polyacrylate-coated fused-silica capillaries. The polyacrylate-coating, unlike the polyimide one, is transparent to the radiation used (approximate to 370 nm), and thus, no coating removal is necessary. This is a very important particularity since intrinsic capillary column characteristics, such as flexibility and mechanical resistance, are unchanged. A mixture containing metacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) as the polymeric precursor, hydrochloric acid as the catalyst, toluene as the porogen and bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)-phenylphosphine oxide (Irgacure 819) as the photoinitiator was irradiated at 370 nm for 20 min inside the capillaries to prepare the columns through sol-gel approach. The versatility and viability of the use of polyacrilate as a new capillary external coating were shown through preparation of two columns under different conditions, which were tested in electrochromatography for separation of standard mixture containing thiourea (marker compound), propylbenzene, phenanthrene and pyrene.

Síntese do anodo cerâmico La1-xSr xCr0,5Mn0,5O3 pela técnica dos precursores poliméricos

Compostos da família La1-xSr xCr0,5Mn0,5O3 são apontados como potenciais anodos cerâmicos de células a combustível de óxidos sólidos. A utilização de anodos cerâmicos tem como objetivo eliminar os problemas de depósito de carbono na superfície do níquel e a baixa resistência a ciclos de redução/oxidação observados no compósito cerâmica-metal à base de zircônia estabilizada e níquel, que é o material anódico mais usado nestas células. Neste estudo são apresentados os resultados da síntese pela técnica dos precursores poliméricos e da caracterização de compostos com x = 0,5, estequiométrico e com 5% de deficiência catiônica no sítio A da estrutura perovskita La1-xSr xCr0,5Mn0,5O3 e (La1-xSr x)0,95Cr0,5Mn0,5O3, respectivamente. Os resultados evidenciam que o composto estudado possui altos valores de condutividade elétrica e baixa reatividade com eletrólitos à base de zircônia.
