The processing, microstructures and properties of La0.7Sr0.3Mn1−xZnxO3 perovskite manganite, with x=0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 have been investigated. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and other characterisation methods were used to study the relations of microstructure and properties. The X-ray powder diffraction results show a single phase for the 0<x<0.3 region that confirms the zinc incorporation into the Mn site. The SEM images with magnification 1500× indicate that the studied system is a single phase. The transport measurements show decreasing of insulator to metal transition temperature, Tt, with increasing the zinc concentration on the Mn site, while the resistivity increases with …

Organic polymers, such as poly(vinyl alcohol), poly(vinyl pyrrolidone), and poly(styrene), were intercalated into single-walled carbon nanotube sheets by soaking the sheets in polymer solutions. Even for short soak times, significant polymer intercalation into existing free volume was observed. Tensile tests on intercalated sheets showed that the Young's modulus, strength, and toughness increased by factors of 3, 9, and 28, respectively, indicating that the intercalated polymer enhances load transmission between nanotubes.
