AB  - In the present paper, polymerization of alkali activated metakaolin (MK) and its structural changing, using 2M NaOH, 8M NaOH, and 16M NaOH solutions were followed by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFT), Raman spectroscopy and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XPS analysis revealed that changing of NaOH concentration did not affect the types of formed bonds in the material. At the same time, the amount of sodium and aluminum increased with the NaOH molarity. The latter steps could be especially interesting because it may indicate the possibility of 'dosing' the amount of Al incorporated by changing the NaOH concentration in the solution. DRIFT analysis revealed that the absorption band for AlIV located at 800 cm-1 is shifted towards the smaller values. Changing the concentration of NaOH, the chemical content did not change, but the structural changes are observed. Raman spectroscopy detected that the most dominant peaks at ∼400 cm-1 and 519 cm-1 originate from Si-O-Al and Si-O-Si bending modes. With increasing the NaOH concentration, peaks at 1019-1060 cm-1 become more prominent as a result of polymerization. Both analyzes (DRIFT and Raman) confirmed the presence of quartz. SEM analysis showed that different structures are created by changing the concentration of NaOH.
AB  - У овом раду, праћена је полимеризација алкално активираног метакаолина (МК) и његове структурне промене, коришћењем 2М NaOH, 8М NaOH и 16М раствора NaOH. Промене су праћене рендгенском фотоелектронском спектроскопијом (XPS), дифузном рефлексијом инфрацрвене Фуријеове трансформације (DRIFT), Рамановом спектроскопијом и скенирајућом електронском микроскопијом (SEM). XPS анализа је показала да промена концентрације NaOH није утицала на типове формираних веза у материјалу. Истовремено, количина натријума и алуминијума се повећавала са моларношћу NaOH. Последњи кораци могу бити посебно интересантни јер могу указивати на могућност 'дозирања' количине Al инкорпорираног променом концентрације NaOH у раствору. DRIFT анализа је открила да је опсег апсорпције за AlIV који се налази на 800 cm-1 померен ка мањим вредностима. Променом концентрације NaOH, хемијски садржај се није мењао, али су уочене структурне промене. Раманова спектроскопија је открила да најдоминантнији пикови на 400 cm-1 и 519 cm-1 потичу из Si-О-Al и Si-О-Si начина савијања хемијских веза. Са повећањем концентрације NaOH, пикови на 1019-1060 cm-1 постају све израженији као резултат полимеризације. Обе анализе (DRIFT и Раман) потврдиле су присуство кварца. SEM анализа је показала да се променом концентрације NaOH стварају различите структуре.

AB  - We have investigated the effect of thickness and deposition conditions on the structural and optical properties of nanostructured copper (Cu) thin films, deposited using e-beam glancing angle deposition. In the first series of experiments, samples were deposited in the form of helical nanostructures, to the thicknesses of 160 nm, 280 nm, 450 nm and 780 nm. The second set of the samples was fabricated in the form of zigzag and square-spiral nanostructures to a thickness of approximately 300 nm, by using different azimuthal rotations (φ = 180o, 90o, 45o, 22.5o and 11o). Field-emission scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy were utilized to explore morphological and structural properties, while optical studies were done using spectroscopic ellipsometry. The results showed that for both series of the samples the deposited structures are porous with nanometer-sized particles. Detailed analyses of optical properties revealed that the thickness of the films had a significant impact on the dielectric function of Cu structures. With increasing the thickness from 160 nm to 780 nm the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak was shifted from 1.31 eV to 1.05 eV. Changes in SPR peak position were associated with the growth mechanism and the size of deposited nanostructures. For the second series of the samples, it was found that as the azimuthal rotation decreases, deposited nanostructures become more porous with larger number of grown arms. Optical analysis showed that the properties of the grown Cu films are greatly influenced by the deposition conditions. By decreasing the φ parameter, SPR peak was shifted from 1.19 eV to 0.75 eV, which can be correlated with the size distribution and agglomeration of Cu nanoparticles.

AB  - It is well known that geopolymers are a new group of binder materials of alumosilicate origin. Geopolymers are made by the reaction of precursor aluminosilicate materials with alkaline activator solutions. The current research relates to a low-cost and eco-friendly procedure, suitable of being implemented in two easy steps. The first step is the production of a solid phase based on fly ash (Obrenovac, Serbia) and eggshell ash as waste materials rich in calcium. The second step is alkali activating the solid phase using an alkaline activator (a mixture of NaOH and Na2SiO3) and procedures in proper laboratory conditions. Four samples with different eggshell ash content were synthesized. The concentration of used NaOH was 12 mol dm−3. The structural properties of all investigated samples were analyzed by XRD (X-ray diffraction), DRIFT (diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform), SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and UV/Vis spectroscopy analysis. XRD determined the amorphous halo with the presence of quartz as the crystal phase in all of the investigated samples. These results were confirmed by DRIFT analysis. The morphology of the samples was determined by SEM analysis. UV/Vis showed that the material could be a potential adsorbent.

AB  - Geopolymers have excellent physical and mechanical properties, so they can be used as a substitute for ordinary polymers. Geopolymers are ceramic materials, which exhibit the property of brittleness, which can be a limitation in some structural applications. To overcome this shortcoming, a new group of materials (organic geopolymers) was developed. The aim of this work is the synthesis of organic (hybrid) geopolymers. A geopolymer based on metakaolin was synthesized as a reference sample, while polyvinyl alcohol was added as an organic phase for synthesizing a hybrid geopolymer. It was concluded that the systems follow the rule of behavior in liquid systems. The chemical composition of the samples was determined by X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF). Structural and phase characterization of hybrid and reference materials were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD)and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), which revealed new phases in the PVA-added samples. The results show that the content of added PVA in the reaction mixture affects the phase composition of the synthesized materials. To examine the possibility of adsorption of the samples, Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV/VIS) was used. The morphology was analyzed using a scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), where efflorescence was observed and identified. After characterizing the geopolymer with the addition of PVA, we obtained a material that was far more porous than the basic sample, and we can conclude that we have synthesized a material that shows good mechanical properties.

AB  - Due to the low CO2 emission of geopolymers compared to Portland cement, interest in their use as binding cement has increased in recent years. The main goal of this research is to relate the green and sustainable characteristics to the good mechanical and chemical properties of fly ashbased geopolymers. For those purposes, samples of different ratios of fly ash (FA) and metakaolin (MK) were prepared. Mineralogical characterization of the geopolymer samples conducted using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) showed that in the geopolymer synthesis reaction new amorphous phase was formed. Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFT) confirmed characteristic bands of Si-O and O-Si-O groups at 1045 cm–1 . Compressive strength analysis revealed that the optimal ratio of FA and MK is 50:50 and exhibits the highest value, while X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis revealed the total reduction of carbon content in the alkali activated geopolymer with optimal stoichiometry 50:50. The results of this research indicates the possibility to obtain a geopolymer material with almost complete absence of carbon, which implies further application as a material with very high environmental potential and zero carbon emission.

AB  - Recently, there has been a growing interest in mixing two different systems, organic and inorganic, which would contribute to some improved properties, such as adjustment time, reduced shrinkage, improved mechanical properties and durability. A new class of geopolymer composites with an organic matrix has been developed with the main goal of improving the fire resistance of organic polymers and reducing the production of smoke resulting from their combustion, as well as improving mechanical properties. For the synthesis of hybrid geopolymer materials, metakaolin with the addition of organic phase poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was used as the starting material. For the synthesis of alkaline activator, a solution of NaOH with a molarity of 12 mol / dm3 was used. The chemical composition of the samples was determined by XRF analysis. Structural and phase characterization of hybrid and reference materials were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), which revealed new phases in the PVA-added samples. The results show that the content of added PVA in the reaction mixture affects the phase composition of the synthesized materials. The morphology was analyzed using a scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), where efflorescence was observed and identified. After characterizing the geopolymer with the addition of PVA, we obtained a material that is far more porous than the basic sample, and we can conclude that we have synthesized a material that shows good mechanical properties.

AB  - This study focused on analyzing samples of aluminosilicate materials in which different percentages of samarium (III)-oxide were incorporated. Basic samples and thermally treated samples at 600 °C were analyzed. Introducing samarium (III)-oxide into the polymer matrix of aluminosilicates has been demonstrated to alter the fundamental structure of aluminosilicate materials. Interestingly, at elevated temperatures, these materials exhibit even more distinctive properties. The gamma ray spectrometric analysis results were used to conduct radiological analysis. Different methods monitor physico-chemical changes within the aluminosilicate materials. By introducing Sm3+ into the aluminosilicate matrix, the basic structure of the aluminosilicate is disturbed. The DRIFT method was used to analyze the structural properties. The analysis of the microstructural properties of the selected samples was carried out using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and enabled the examination of the fine details of the structure of the materials thermally treated at 600 °C which resulted in the appearance of significant pores and cracks in the material.

AB  - In this study, fly ash (FA) from the active and passive cassette TENT A (Nikola Tesla power plant, Obrenovac) is characterized from physicochemical and radiological aspects.Samples of FA consisted of amorphous phase followed by quartz, mullite, plagioclase, K-feldspar, hematite and calcite. As indicated by laser granulometry, the fraction D50 of investigated samples are about 80μm, so based on the above, they belong to coarse ashes.Very important parameter which defines chemical composition of the fly ash as precursor material of clinker or alkali activated materialsis presence of organic matter which is expressed by total organic content (TOC).Assessment of radiation exposure during coal combustion depends on the concentration of radioactive elements in the coal and in the resulting fly ash. Fly ash as industrial waste contains certain concentrations of natural radionuclides that are considered naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM). The results showed that fly ash has satisfactory radiological properties and can be used as an addition to clinkers, but also as a potential precursor of a new class of alkaline activated materials that can be used in the construction sector.

AB  - The following investigation presents the thermal treatment of geopolymer at 300 °C, 600 °C and 900 °C. We investigated what happens to the geopolymer base when incorporated with 1% and 5% of neodymium in the form Nd2O3. A total of six samples were synthesized. Geopolymer 1 contained 1% and geopolymer 2 contained 5% Nd2O3, and these samples were treated at 300 °C; then, samples geopolymer 3 and geopolymer 4 also had the same percentage composition of Nd2O3 and were treated at 600 °C, while samples geopolymer 5 and geopolymer 6were treated at 900 °C. Physical and chemical changes in the aluminosilicate geopolymer matrix were monitored. The incorporation of rare earths into the polymer network of aluminosilicates has been proven to disrupt the basic structure of geopolymers; however, with increased temperatures, these materials show even more unusual properties. Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) analysis showed that the intensity of the vibrational band decreases with the increase in temperature during thermal treatment, suggesting alterations in the chemical structure of the geopolymers. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis showed that the diameter of the nanoparticles containing Al2O3 is in the range 5–10 nm, while larger crystallites range from 30 to 80 nm. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that the temperature of the thermal treatment increases to 300 °C and 600 °C; the porosity of geopolymer increases in the form of the appearance of large pores and cracks in material. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis was used to investigate the surface chemistry of geopolymers, including the chemical composition of the surface, the oxidation state of the elements, and the presence of functional groups. The UV/Vis spectra of the synthesized geopolymers doped with Nd3+ show interesting optical properties at 900 °C; the geopolymer matrix completely disintegrates and an amorphous phase with a rare-earth precipitate appears.

AB  - The main goal of this study was the evaluation of physical–chemical, as well as radiological properties of residual materials used for synthesis of alkali activated materials (AAMs) for the possible application as new materials in a civil engineering industry. Also, the purpose of this research was to investigate the hydrophobicity of new alumino-silicate materials and the influence of Si/Al ratio on their surface properties. Contact angle measurement (CAM) as reliable indicator of hydrophobicity was determined for synthesized AAMs using water and ethylene glycol as reference liquids. Alkali-activated materials were synthesized from various precursors: kaolin, bentonite and diatomite. Characterization of phase structure and microstructure was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy and Energy-dispersive X-ray (SEM/EDX) spectroscopy. Contact angle measurements confirmed that the alkali-activated materials synthesized from metakaolin are the most porous, which can be explained by the smallest Si/Al ratio. The maximum value of contact angle and free surface energy (110.2 mJ/m2 ) has been achieved for alkali-activated materials synthesized by diatomite (GPMD). Concentration of 40K and radionuclides from the 238U and 232Th decay series in waste precursors, their metaphases and AAM samples synthetized by alkali activation were determined together with corresponding absorbed dose rate (D˙) and the annual effective dose rate. Natural activity concentrations in the alkali-activated materials were found to be lower than that of both residual materials and calcined ones.

AB  - The following investigation presents the thermal treatment of geopolymer based on metakaolin, with the addition of 1% and 5% of neodymium in the form Nd2O3, at 300˚C, 600˚C and 900˚C. Six samples were synthesized in total. Samples GT1 and GT2 containing 1% and 5% of Nd2O3, and they were treated at 300˚C, while the samples GT3 and GT4 also had the same percentage composition of Nd2O3 and were treated at 600˚C, and the samples GT5 and GT6 were treated at 900˚C with the same percentage of Nd2O3. Physical and chemical changes in the aluminosilicate geopolymer matrix were monitored. The incorporation of rare earths into the polymer network of aluminosilicates has been proven to disrupt the basic structure of geopolymers, however, with increased temperature, these materials show even more unusual properties. DRIFT was employed to investigate the structural properties of thermally treated geopolymers. Additionally, TEM provided further insight into the structural changes induced by thermal treatment and Nd2O3 doping. SEM was used to observe the effect of thermal treatment temperature (300˚C and 600˚C) on geopolymer porosity, which resulted in the appearance of large pores and cracks in the material. The UV/Vis spectra of the synthesized Nd3+ doped geopolymers exhibited attractive optical properties. The photoexcitation of electrons from the valence band to the conduction band in the geopolymer structure is responsible for the absorbance observed at 260 nm, while the minor peaks at slightly longer wavelengths can be linked to Nd3+

AB  - The aim of this study was determination of physical-chemical, radiological and structural characteristics of kaolin, fly ash and the products of alkali-activated as well as thermally treated kaolin (alkali activated materials). Kaolin (raw material) and fly ash (industrial waste) used in the investigation showed the great potential for obtaining alkali activated materials as relatively new products to be used in construction and civil engineering as green cements. Physical-chemical and structural characterization was conducted using X ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) and X ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). Activity concentration of naturally occurring radionuclides in kaolin, metakaolin, fly ash and alkali activated materials were determined. The absorbed dose rate (D) and the annual effective dose rate (EDR), were calculated in accordance to the UNSCEAR 2000 report. Kaolin was thermally treated on 750°C, and specific activity of natural radionuclides in metakaolin increased up to 1.6, while specific activities in alkali activated materials were significantly reduced.

AB  - In this study, we have investigated the effect of thickness on the structural and optical properties of copper (Cu) helical nanostructures. Thin films with thicknesses of 160 nm, 280 nm, 450 nm, and 780 nm were obtained by e-beam glancing angle deposition. The morphology and the microstructure were studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, while for the optical analysis measurements spectroscopic ellipsometry was used. The results show that the deposited structures are porous with nanometer-sized crystallites preferentially oriented along (111) planes, as well as that the diameter of the helices increases with thickness. Detailed analyses of optical properties have demonstrated that the dielectric function of Cu structures is greatly influenced by the films thicknesses. With increasing thickness from 160 nm to 780 nm, the surface plasmon resonance peak was shifted from 1.31 eV to 1.05 eV, which was correlated with the growth mechanism and the size of deposited nanostructures.

AB  - Copper (Cu) thin films were deposited by using glancing angle deposition in the form of zigzag and square spiral nanostructures. Thin films were fabricated under different azimuthal rotations (φ = 180°, 90°, 45°, 22.5° and 11°), to the thickness of approximately 300 nm. Morphological, chemical and structural properties were investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. For the optical characterization of the samples spectroscopic ellipsometry was used, while the electrical properties were analyzed by four-point probe method. It was found that as the azimuthal rotation decreases, deposited nanostructures become more porous with larger number of grown arms. Both, optical and electrical analyses revealed that the properties of the obtained thin films are significantly influenced by growth mechanism. By decreasing the φ parameter, the surface plasmon resonance peak was shifted from 1038.9 nm to 1676.6 nm, which can be correlated with the porosity of Cu structures. Besides, it was found that the optical and electrical properties of the thin films are also strongly dependent on the concentration of defects.

AB  - In recent years geopolymers have shown increased interest as binders with low CO2 emission compared to Portland cement. The main goal of this research is focused on connecting green and sustainable characteristics with the mechanical and chemical properties of fly ash-based geopolymer. The samples of different ratios of fly ash (FA) and metakaolin (MK) were prepared. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) showed that in the geopolymer synthesis reaction a new amorphous phase was formed. Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFT) confirmed characteristic bands of the Si-O and O-Si-O groups at 1045 cm−1. Compressive strength analysis revealed that the optimal ratio of FA and MK is 50:50 and exhibits the highest value. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis revealed the total reduction of carbon content in the alkali-activated geopolymer with the optimal stoichiometry of 50:50. This indicates the possibility of obtaining a geopolymer material with an almost complete absence of carbon, which implies further application as a material with a very high environmental potential and of zero carbon emissions.

AB  - In this paper, raw natural metakaolin (MK, Serbia) clay was used as a starting material for the synthesis of geopolymers for thermal treatment. Metakaolin was obtained by calcination of kaolin at 750 °C for 1 h while geopolymer samples were calcined at 900 °C, which is the key transition temperature. Metakaolin was activated by a solution of NaOH of various concentrations and sodium silicate. During the controlled heat treatment, the geopolymer samples began to melt slightly and coagulate locally. The high-temperature exposure of geopolymer samples (900 °C) caused a significant reduction in oxygen, and even more sodium, which led to the formation of a complex porous structure. As the concentration of NaOH (6 mol dm−3 and 8 mol dm−3) increased, new semi-crystalline phases of nepheline and sanidine were formed. Thermal properties were increasingly used to better understand and improve the properties of geopolymers at high temperatures. Temperature changes were monitored by simultaneous use of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The loss of mass of the investigated samples at 900 °C was in the range of 8–16%. Thermal treatment of geopolymers at 900 °C did not have much effect on the change in compressive strength of investigated samples. The results of thermal treatment of geopolymers at 900 °C showed that this is approximately the temperature at which the structure of the geopolymer turns into a ceramic-like structure. All investigated properties of the geopolymers are closely connected to the precursors and the constituents of the geopolymers.

AB  - Rare earth oxides have been broadly utilised in different research areas due to their unique properties. This research aims to examine the effect of Nd and Sm in the form of oxide addition in the metakaolin-based geopolymer matrix. Metakaolin-based geopolymers with the addition of different percentages of Sm2O3 and Nd2O3 (S1-S6) were synthesised. Samples contained 0.1% Sm; 1% Sm; 5% Sm, and 0.1% Nd, 1% Nd, and 5% Nd. The focus was on monitoring the polymerisation process using the DRIFT method for 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. The phase composition of the samples was confirmed by the XRD method, while the morphology of the samples was analysed by SEM analysis. After 28 days, due to the polymerisation process, the binding of Neodymium and Samarium ions were incorporated into the structure.

AB  - The effect of zircon (ZrSiO4) on the physico-chemical and mechanical properties of geopolymer/zircon composites was examined in this study. Four geopolymer/zircon composites containing 10, 20, 30 and 40 wt.% zircon were prepared from metakaolin with alkali activators. Characterization of the obtained geopolymers was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM-EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF). XRD results did not confirmed the formation of interconnected phases between added zircon, starting aluminum silicates and alkali activators. Compressive strength of prepared geopolymer was examined. The maximum obtained compressive strength of 70.15 MPa was measured in sample containing the smallest fraction of zircon, i.e., 10 wt.%. Addition of larger amount of zircon (20 wt.%) hinders the progress of geopolymerization reaction and consequently decreases compressive strength.

AB  - Presented study deals with the final structure and radiological properties of different fly-ash based geopolymers. Lignite fly-ash (lignite Kolubara – Serbia) and wood fly ash were obtained in combustion process together with commercial fly-ash. Synthesis of the geopolymers was conducted by mixing fly-ash, sodium silicate solution, NaOH and water. The samples were strengthened 60 °C for 48 hours after staying at room temperature in covering mold for 24 hours. The X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared and SAM measurements were conducted on the samples after 28 days of geopolymerization process. The X-ray diffraction measurements of lignite fly-ash samples show anhydrite as the main constituent, while wood fly-ash samples consist of calcite, albite and gypsum minerals. Besides determination of physicochemical properties, the aim of this study was radiological characterization of lignite fly-ash, wood fly-ash and the obtained geopolymer products. Activity concentration of 40K and radionuclides from the 238U and 232Th decay series, in ash samples and fly-ash based geopolymers, were determined by means of gamma-ray spectrometry, and the absorbed dose rate, D, and the annual effective dose rate, E, were calculated in accordance with the UNSCEAR 2000 report.

AB  - Metal acetate complexes are highly interesting in designing and synthesizing metal–organic frameworks, which have potential applications in gas storage, molecular sieves, ion exchange, and catalysis. Cadmium is well recognized as an industrial pollutant and a food contaminant that severely affects human health. For these reasons, the detection and analysis of Cd are of great interest. A major challenge in studying cadmium compounds' structure is that Cd2+ can have a wide range of coordination numbers and diverse geometries. (MA)LDI is extremely useful for detecting Cd(OAc)2·2H2O and investigating Cd's complex and flexible nature. We applied LDI to detect and characterize the Cd-related clusters and MALDI approach to investigate the Cd(OAc)2x2H2O reactivity and detectability with the five different organic matrices. The results revealed that in the solid-state Cd(OAc)2x2H2O tend to form coordination polymers, and in the presence of coordinating ligands (matrix molecules) form smaller complexes. In addition, the correlation between Cd-related LOD and matrix features was observed and discussed, indicating that the LODs of this analyte strongly depend on the optical absorption of the matrix-analyte adduct.

AB  - The implantation of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) has been conducted using Ag+ ions with energy of 60 keV, achieved fluences 1.5 and 10•1015 ions/cm2. Transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and field emission gun - scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM) showed the existence of nanoparticle clusters. X ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed the presence of silver in the sample surface region. The surface topography was studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM), while the surface composition uniformity was analyzed using phase imaging AFM. Optical characterization obtained by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) showed changes in refractive index, extinction coefficient and the optical band gap with the fluence of implanted ions.

AB  - In this study, iron-polyethylene nanocomposites were synthesized, by ion implantation with different fluences, in the range from 5 × 1016 ions/cm2 to 5×1017 ions/cm2 , and at the energy of 95 keV. Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy confirmed the presence of iron in the implanted samples, and the calculated fluences matched with those predicted, except for the highest implantation fluence, where a significant difference was due to the sputtering effect. It was also found that the depth of damage was slightly lower than predicted by the SRIM simulation [1]. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy has revealed that implanted iron is in the form of pure metallic iron - Fe (0), and multiple iron oxides. On the other hand, carbon was mostly transformed from a sp3 hybridized, to a sp2 hybridized, indicating that the carbonization of polyethylene and the degassing of hydrogen took place. Infrared spectroscopy has indicated that aldehydes and ketones are formed after implantation, and that many organic compounds are likely to form upon implantation with the highest fluence. Atomic force microscopy confirmed that implantation led to considerable destruction of the surface, resulting in changes of surface morphology, and a considerable increase of surface roughness [2]. Transmission electron microscopy microphotographs show that after implantation, iron nanoparticles are formed, and the particle sizes have a characteristic depth distribution, according to which they can be classified into three zones. However, a continuous layer is formed in the case of the highest implantation fluence. Energy dispersive spectrophotometric analysis of a single particle indicated that the nanoparticle interior was mainly composed of pure metallic iron, and that the iron oxides probably dominated near the very surface of the nanoparticles [1]. From the measurements of the sheet resistivity by the 4-point contact probe method, it was observed that between the 1×1017 ions/cm2 and 2×1017 ions/cm2 fluences, a transition occurs in which the metal phase takes a dominant role in the mechanism of electric conduction and that percolation most likely is achieved for fluences in the range between 2×1017 ions/cm2 and 5 × 1017 ions/cm2 [2]. Measurements by Kerr magneto-optical magnetometry have indicated that the magnetic properties change in accordance with the applied implantation fluence and the morphology of the iron nanoparticles formed in the surface layer. The occurrence of the ferromagnetic phase can be observed for the two higher fluences, with a coercivity of only 20 Oe for the fluence of 2×1017 ions/cm2 , whereas for the highest fluence of 5×1017 ions/cm2 , the coercivity is 57 Oe. The shape of hysteresis loop is typical of a mixture of single and multi-domain particles. UV-VIS spectroscopy showed that, as a consequence of implantation, the peaks in the Kubelka - Munk spectra of remission function appear [1], most likely originating from localized surface plasmon resonance of the iron nanoparticles [3,4]. Surface energy changes with the implantation fluence, in a way that it increases up to a fluence of 1 × 1017 ions/cm2 , and then decreases with increasing fluence. It was also found that the hydrophobic, i.e. dispersive character of the surface does not change significantly as a consequence of implantation [2].

AB  - The present work was focused on doping of 1% and 5% both of Nd2O3 and Sm2O3 in geopolymer gels. One of the main goals was to determine the influence of the behavior of Nd and Sm as dopants and structural nanoparticles changes of the final geopolymer formed. It is shown that the disorder formed by alkali activation of metakaolin can accommodate the rare earth cations Nd3+ and Sm3+ into their aluminosilicate framework structure. The main geopolymerization product identified in gels is Al-rich (Na)-AS-H gel comprising Al and Si in tetrahedral coordination. Na+ ions were balancing the negative charge resulting from Al3+ in tetrahedral coordination. The changes in the structures of the final product (geopolymer/Nd2O3; Sm2O3), has been characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis with energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). Nucleation at the seed surfaces leads to the formation of phase-separated gels from rare earth phase early in the reaction process. It is confirmed that Nd and Sm have been shown to form unstable hydroxides Nd(OH)3 and Sm(OH)3 that are in equilibrium with the corresponding oxides.

AB  - The potential re-use of red mud in the building and construction industry has been the subject of research of many scientists. The presented research is a contribution to the potential solution of this environmental issue through the synthesis of potential construction materials based on red mud. A promising way of recycling these secondary raw materials is the synthesis of alkali-activated binders or alkali activated materials. Alkali-activated materials or inorganic binders based on red mud are a new class of materials obtained by activation of inorganic precursors mainly constituted by silica, alumina and low content of calcium oxide. Since red mud contains radioactive elements like 226Ra and 232Th, this may be a problem for its further utilization. The content of naturally occurring radionuclides in manufactured material products with potential application in the building and construction industry is important from the standpoint of radiation protection. Gamma radiation of the primordial radionuclides, 40K and members of the uranium and thorium series, increases the external gamma dose rate. However, more and more precedence is being given to limiting the radiological dose originating from building materials on the population these days. The aim of this research was to investigate the possible influence of alkali activation-polymerization processes on the natural radioactivity of alkali activated materials synthesized by red mud (BOKSIT a. d. Milići, Zvornik, Bosnia and Herzegovina) and their structural properties. This research confirmed that during the polymerization process the natural radioactivity was reduced, and that the process of alkali activation of raw materials has an influence on natural radioactivity of synthesized materials.

AB  - Since recycled technologies usage is mandatory for environmental safety, and in this regard, it is important to examine new materials that can be used in construction and are primarily produced from fly ash. In addition to characteristics such as hardness and compressive strength, the given materials must also be radiologically and environmentally safe. The main concept of engineered geopolymer gel composites based on fly ash residues is focused on developing binder materials via gel formation processes that can replace ordinary cement materials. This study is unique in researching the potential use of fly ash from the Nikola Tesla thermal power plant in Serbia, where the hybrid geopolymeric materials synthesized from fly ash are experimentally examined with the addition 1 wt% and 2 wt% of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). This paper aims to investigate the structural, morphological, mechanical, and radiological properties of hybrid materials with the addition of PVA and without additive in the period of ageing for 28 days at room temperature. The phase composition was investigated using X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) analysis, while morphological characteristics of these materials were examined using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDS). Vibrational spectra of obtained samples are investigated using diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) techniques. The hardness and compressive strength are also examined, indicating that the 1 wt% addition in geopolymeric matrix results in the best mechanical properties. Radiological measurements of investigated all geopolymer samples show decreasing activity concentrations of radionuclides for 50% compared to fly ash.
