ESEM images

In related work, Dong and coworkers reported using the hydrophobic IL [C4CiIm][PFg] mixed with MWCNs to form two types of MEs [35,36]. In one report, MWCNs were mixed with [C4CiIm][PFJ and applied to a GC electrode [35]. Environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) images of the films showed homogeneously dispersed island-like particles that open up into a number of rope-like 3-D networks. They incorporated GOx into...

The hot stage has not only been applied to optical and atomic force microscopes, but also to scanning electron microscopes. Hot-stage accessories are available on environmental SEMs that can collect ESEM images at elevated temperatures. Applications to the electronics industry include fluxless soldering, intermetallic growth studies, and copper thick-film sintering studies (92-94). 

EDS analysis after each wetting and drying cycle does not show any changes in the chemical composition. Because no cations or anions were dissolved in the water, no cation change or dissolution was possible at the temperatures employed in this study. XRD results showed an expansion of the basal spacing as a function of the relative humidity, due to the intercalation of water in the interlayers of the smectite. This effect could not be directly observed in the ESEM images.

Cement - fly ash paste specimens (20x20xl50mm) were partially exposed to Na2S04 solution. After 5 months exposure imder the constant storage condition (20 C and 60%RH), some cracks were found near the up>p)er edge above solution level of the cement-fly ash p>aste specimen. Along the crack, small pieces were carefully broken off using a thin blade. The ESEM image of a small piece is shown in Fig. 11.
