Nickel sulphide (NiS) was characterised using X-ray diffraction, thermal gravimetric analysis (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The as received Millerite, stoichiometric NiS, observed to be slightly nickel ...

Polymer composites comprised of poly(vinyl alcohol) and montmorillonite with higher clay loadings have been prepared and characterised. The extent of intercalation in the composites was examined over a range of compositions ...

The crystallization kinetics of stoichiometric nickel sulphide (NiS) have been investigated using non-isothermal cooling. DSC was used to characterize the crystallization process which was observed to be complex thus ...

Cold pressed linseed oil and paints prepared using the inorganic pigments; lead white and red lead, were characterised using non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in an air atmosphere to determine the ...

The DSC characterisation of the morphology of the metastable a phase of stoichiometric nickel sulphide was carried out using two calorimeters; a TA Instruments 2920 MDSC and a Perkin Elmer DSC-7, and two quenching ...

The degradation of poly(vinyl alcohol) was investigated using TG analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to determine the effect of atmosphere on the process of degradation. In the spectra, four vibrational ...

Discolouring interactions between paint pigments have been observed since the mid 19th century. The source of some of these discolourations is the production of copper sulfides from an interaction between cadmium sulfide ...
