The oxidation process was carried out in various duration times from 1 to 10 h. A three-electrode electrochemical cell was employed for all the EIS measurements. Also, to focus on the characteristics of the oxide films, a nonaggressive electrolyte 0.1 M Na2SO4 was used. The EIS data were interpreted with a two-layered model, and the obtained capacitance and resistance are related to the thickness and defectiveness of YSZ coating and oxide film which was formed during the oxidation process. The results showed that after 6 h of oxidation time, the defects are produced in YSZ coating and it helps to increase the thickness of the oxide film. Also, XRD results revealed that the oxide films were mainly composed of Al2O3 and MgAl2O4 phases. The oxide film remained protective during extra oxidation period. In addition, the electrochemical model was supported by SEM observations.https://pccc.icrc.ac.ir/article_75709_15cc35d4419855dbb3e88bdcedfe0637.pdfInstitute for Color Science and Technology (ICST)Progress in Color, Colorants and Coatings2008-213410120170201Synthesis of ZnS decorated carbon fibers nanocomposite and its application in photocatalytic removal of Rhodamine 6G from aqueous solutions13217571010.30509/pccc.2017.75710ENA.MehrizadDepartment of Chemistry, Tabriz Branch, Islamic Azad UniversityP.GharbaniDepartment of Chemistry, Ahar Branch, Islamic Azad UniversityJournal Article19700101.Zinc sulfide/carbon nanofibers ZnS/CNFs composite was successfully synthesized through a facile and simple method. The X-ray diffraction XRD patterns revealed the formation of ZnS decorated CNFs composite. The photocatalytic activity of ZnS/CNFs composite was investigated by the photodegradation of Rhodamine 6G Rh-6G dye in aqueous solutions. The effect of operational parameters such as initial Rh-6G concentration, ZnS/CNFs composite amount, pH and irradiation time were analyzed and optimized by response surface methodology RSM in photocatalysis process. The results revealed that the removal percentage of Rh-6G increased with increasing of ZnS/CNFs composite amount, pH and irradiation time, whereas higher initial dye concentration was unfavorable. The findings also showed that under optimum conditions initial Rh-6G concentration 6 mg L-1, ZnS/CNFs composite amount 1.25 g L-1, pH 8 and irradiation time 48 min and exposure of UV-C light irradiation 20 W m-2, the ZnS/CNFs composite exhibited a remarkable photodegradation of Rh-6G dye in aqueous media 99.17.https://pccc.icrc.ac.ir/article_75710_21c215366836f12d17f93ceef49715ef.pdfInstitute for Color Science and Technology (ICST)Progress in Color, Colorants and Coatings2008-213410120170201Preparation of polyacrylonitrile – titania electrospun nanofiber and its photocatalytic dye degradation ability23307571110.30509/pccc.2017.75711ENN.M.MahmoodiDepartment of Environmental Research, Institute for Color Science and TechnologyZ.Mokhtari-ShourijehDepartment of Environmental Research, Institute for Color Science and TechnologyJournal Article19700101In this paper, polyacrylonitrile PAN - titania TiO2 electrospun nanofiber PAN/TiO2 nanofiber was prepared via a facile electrospinning method. The characteristics of the PAN/TiO2 nanofiber were investigated using SEM and FTIR. The nanofiber showed retained nanofiber structures and high photocatalytic efficiency under UV light for the degradation of Direct Red 80 DR80 and Direct Red 23 DR23 in water. The photocatalytic dye degradation kinetics followed first-order model. The reaction rate constant k at 20 mg/L dye concentration was 0.0184 min-1 for DR 80 and 0.0328 min-1 for DR23. The dye degradation rate constant decreased by increasing initial dye concentration. The results indicated that polyacrylonitrile - titania electrospun nanofiber could be used as a photocatalyst to decolorize colored wastewater.https://pccc.icrc.ac.ir/article_75711_ba476b9d88c69639ada52264ea11392d.pdfInstitute for Color Science and Technology (ICST)Progress in Color, Colorants and Coatings2008-213410120170201Effect of Micro Glass Flake on Morphological and Rheological Behaviour of Epoxy Vinyl Ester Composite Coatings31417571210.30509/pccc.2017.75712ENA.GhadamiDepartment of Chemical Engineering,Faculty of Engineering, Central Tehran Branch,Islamic Azad UniversityM.EhsaniDepartment of Polymer processing, Iran Polymer and Petrochemical InstituteH.HaddadiSchool of Engineering,Department of Polymer, College of Chemical Engineering, University of TehranB.KaffashiSchool of Engineering,Department of Polymer, College of Chemical Engineering, University of TehranJournal Article19700101In the present work, attempts were made to investigate the reinforcement and treatment effect of GF on morphological and rheological behaviour of GF/epoxy vinyl ester composites. GF was incorporated into epoxy vinyl ester resin by sonication, and mechanical agitation. Rheological and morphological properties were studied as a function of particle treatment and size distributions. The dispersion morphology, agglomeration degree and homogeneity of additives were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy SEM, and optical microscopy. Effect of mixing method, surface treatment, and particle size distribution on rheological properties of composites were investigated with a modular compact rheometer. The results showed that the mechanical agitation decreases GF aspect ratio more than sonication. SEM fractography shows finer particles improve toughness properties of the composites in comparison with larger ones. GF with larger circular diameter and length is more sensitive to shear than the smaller one. Rheological investigations showed that surface treatment improves the interaction between the polymer matrix and GF. These results indicated that the finer the GF, the better the rheological properties will be displayed.https://pccc.icrc.ac.ir/article_75712_d03b33e812e264db7cf8025303d79e0a.pdfInstitute for Color Science and Technology (ICST)Progress in Color, Colorants and Coatings2008-213410120170201Synthesis and Characterization of Indoline-based organic sensitizers for photoelectrochemical cells43507571310.30509/pccc.2017.75713ENM.HosseinnezhadCenter of Excellence for Color Science and Technology,Department of Organic Colorants, Institute for Color Science and Technology0000-0003-3351-0157S.MoradianFaculty of Polymer and Color Engineering,Amirkabir University of Technology, Center of Excellence for Color Science and Technology,Institute for Color Science and TechnologyK.GharanjigCenter of Excellence for Color Science and Technology,Department of Organic Colorants, Institute for Color Science and Technology0000-0002-0115-3557Journal Article19700101In this paper we designed and prepared three free-metal organic days Dye 1, Dye 2 and Dye 3 based on indoline with n-phenly substituents iminodibenzyl as the electron donor group.
