Scanning electron microscopy hybrids

Lindner et al. carried out detailed studies on the use of the sol-gel procedure to obtain new materials as suitable matrices [45]. A co-condensation of Si(OR)4, Si(OR)3-spacer-Si(OR)3 and Si(OR)3-spacer-ligand resulted in new hybrid materials, the properties of which strongly depended upon the spacer and the ratio of the different components used. Most of these materials were characterised with IR, EXAFS, and EDX spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and solid state NMR spectroscopy. Solid state 31P NMR was used to quantify the mobility of the interphases the changes in line-...

The morphology characterization of hybrid membranes is very important to identify the possible interfacial morphology and particle dispersion in the final membrane matrix. Electron microscopy is typically used to investigate the filler dispersion and the hybrid membrane morphology. Scanning electron microscopy is the most frequently used technique, and it allows the characterization of the sample surface. The sample s cross-sections can be examined to analyze the inner morphology. Transmission electron microscopy is also a very useful technique because it allows a direct evaluation of the inner morphology of the sample. 

Drubeski et al. [35] investigated the electrical properties of electrically conductive hybrid carbon fiber-carbon black fiber polypropylene composites. These properties were evaluated by resistance measurements and scanning electron microscopy, respectively.
