INTRODUCTION

Ultrasonic velocity measurements are highly useful for the investigation of molecular interactions and the structural behavior of molecules in liquids, liquid mixtures and solids. Ultrasonic study provides a wealth of information about the state of the liquid. This technique is frequently used because of their ability in characterizing the thermodynamic and physic-chemical behavior of liquid mixtures. Investigation of the physical properties of liquid mixtures with varying compositions gives valuable insight into the microscopic structure and nature of molecular interaction in liquid molecules. The relatively simple and inexpensive equipment for the generation and detection of ultrasonic waves and the nondestructive character of the small amplitude vibrations make ultrasonic wave propagation used for nondestructive inspection (NDI). Typical applications include the detection of internal flaws, the measurement of layer thicknesses of laminated structures and the evaluation to assess the extent of corrosion. The technique has also been used to determine the volume fraction of the disperse phase volume in mixtures and, also, the size distribution of droplets in liquid dispersions or emulsions. Ultrasound is routinely used also in medical imaging and diagnostics, and it is finding increasing use in the food industry for both analysis and process monitoring. A thorough review of the use of ultrasonic‘s for nondestructive tests and diagnostics can be found, for example, in the work of Achenbach.9 More recently, the use of ultrasonic waves has shown a great potential also as a method for the characterization of materials, especially polymers. In polymers, the propagation of ultrasonic waves is determined by their viscoelastic properties and density and is affected by phase transitions occurring with changing temperature and other factors, such as plasticization and chemical reactions. The application of ultrasonic waves to a material, acting as a high frequency oscillatory excitation, provides information regarding the viscoelastic behavior of polymers and may be considered a high frequency extension of current dynamic mechanical analysis methods. Because of the high frequency and small amplitude of the periodic oscillations applied to the sample, ultrasonic dynamic mechanical analysis (UDMA) probes the small-scale mobility of short chain segments, which generally does not involve the entanglements. The application of ultrasound for polymer characterization has been limited by the inadequate one-term stability of transducers at high temperature and by the requirement of a fluid coupling medium between the ultrasonic transducer coupling and the sample. Ultrasonic velocity together with density and viscosity data furnish a wealth of information about the interactions between ions, dipoles, H-bonding, multipolar and dispersion forces. Through technique is found to be a suitable method in providing information regarding the molecular behavior of liquids and solids, owing to its ability to characterize the physic-chemical behavior of the medium from the sound velocity data. Moreover it does not impose deformation on the test material. Ultrasonic studies provide a wealth of information about the state of liquid mixtures and solids (Amino acids, organic mixtures). Ultrasonic investigations provide extensive application in characterizing the thermodynamic and physic-chemical behavior of liquid mixtures. The study of propagation of ultrasonic waves in pure liquids, liquid mixtures, amino acids is well established for determining the nature of intermolecular interactions. Molecular interactions determine the properties and the structure of matter. Molecular interactions are also of prime importance in deciding the structure and properties of biological systems as well as energy transfer in enzymes, phase transitions, etc. In the last few years one has been able to observe fascinating progress in the study of molecular interactions. The field of ultrasonic has grown enormously in the last few decades. It provides much insight into the problems of basic physics, and finds large number of industrial, biological and medical applications by characterizing thermodynamic and physicochemical behavior of liquid mixtures. The measurement of ultrasonic velocity enables the accurate determination of some useful acoustical parameters which are highly sensitive to the study of molecular interactions. These acoustical parameters give subjective information about the physical nature and quality of the sub-atomic interactions in the fluid blends. Acoustical and thermodynamic parameters have been utilized to comprehend various types of affiliation, the sub-atomic packing, sub-atomic movement and their particular quality influenced by the size in unadulterated segments and in the blends. Ultrasonic strategies of fluid blends consisting of polar and non-polar segments are critical in understanding the intermolecular interactions between the segment particles and they find applications in a few industrial, organic, natural chemistry, medicine, engineering, dentistry, polymers, and mechanical processing. Ultrasonic speed together with thickness and consistency information outfit adequate information about the total of all out interactions between particles, dipoles, H-bonding, multi-polar scattering powers and flexible powers Hence, this system is by all accounts corresponding to spectroscopic and dielectric strategies. The investigation of sub-atomic interaction assumes a significant job in the advancement of sub-atomic sciences. The intermolecular separation in fluids and fluid blends are so little and the impacts of the charge of atomic interaction is of extensive significance in the development of easy to complex fluids and fluid blends. In fluid blends, the interactions happen between like atoms and not at all like particles. The investigation of atomic interaction in ternary blends gives valuable information about the conduct of various fluids and their useful gatherings. This information is helpful in the plan of industrial procedures and in the improvement of hypotheses for the fluid state and prescient Organic Liquid blends are indispensable in practically all industries and every single natural science. There exists a basic need to comprehend these frameworks and to have the option to foresee their conduct from the atomic point of view. The customary portrayal and investigation of the properties of fluid blends by methods for the overabundance thermodynamic capacities has turned out to be convenient as it gives more extravagant and increasingly nitty gritty information on the quick condition of particles in the blend. Ketones are a class of synthetic mixes containing the carbonyl gathering wherein the carbon iota is covalently attached to an oxygen molecule. The carbonyl gathering can interact with essential gatherings like amino gathering to shape complex and influence the properties of such mixes. The interaction between solvents with polar gatherings and the carbonyl gathering of ketones assumes a job in the auxiliary impacts, atomic level, and down to earth applications. The compound industries have perceived the significance of the thermodynamic properties in structure figurings involving. Synthetic partitions, heat move, mass exchange, and liquid stream. Whenever at least two dissolvable atoms are related with each other to frame a fluid blend, it brings about a checked impact on the properties of the resulting framework and contrasts in the intermolecular interactions of the solvents. The carbonyl gathering is a piece of a few organically significant atoms, for example, proteins, lipids, and hormones. Application of full sensors has been displayed in the past work. In RF and microwave circuit plan, the dielectric permittivity of the substrate assumes a significant job and requires exact assessment over a wide scope of frequencies. Learning of these properties assumes an essential job in the exact structure of an assortment of circuit advancements. The following areas mean to give a general exchange of some settled dielectric estimation methods, principally pertinent to direct and high misfortune fluid examples and

planar sensor, the exploratory adjustment method is stayed away from. The ease and effortlessness of manufacturing permits the utilization of the resonator in a dispensable way and an exertion has been made to show an ongoing system on a few periods of materials, for example, strong, fluid and blend. To fulfill the ebb and flow requests of numerous applications particularly the organic and synthetic industries, a blend method can be actualized by using planar resounding sensors created by different specialists. In this paper, an exertion has been made to portray and demonstrate the interesting advances in microwave resonator sensor improvements. The structure to deliver very touchy sensors is appeared with certain examinations dependent on frequencies, strategies, systems, and advancements utilized. It is normal that the information from this paper will assist analysts with having a more extensive point of view of resonator structure, and ideally it very well may be considered as a choice to create a superior system plan. Intense in light of the fact that it was a multilayer structure and can be effectively delivered by more affordable printed circuit innovation. The general blunder of the framework was extremely little, which was under 3% dependent on the test brings about a few examples.

ULTRASONIC WAVE

In the last two-three decades, to think about the physicochemical conduct and nuclear correspondences in fluid blends, the ultrasonic speed framework has been broadly used. The mechanical longitudinal waves which are made through the precious stone are multiplied through the issue - strong, fluid or then again gas. These waves may be isolated by and large into the accompanying classes as indicated by their repeat: (i) Infrasonic waves (underneath 20 Hz.) (ii) Audible or sonic waves (between 20Hz to 20 kHz.) (iii) Ultrasonic waves (between 20 kHz. to 1GHz) (iv) Hypersonic waves (above 1GHz) The term is used to portray a vibrating wave of a recurrence over that the upper-recurrence point of confinement of the human ear; it all around handles all frequencies more than 20 kHz. In like manner, high abundancy ultrasonic waves are at times insinuated as. There are different habits by which ultrasonic waves can be created. The methodology who in 1883 balanced the edge-tone generator in request to create the sound surges of recurrence above than the detectable scope of the human ear. In Galton‘s gadget, a fly of air condemns from a restricted slice to fall upon the sharp edge of a thing which faces the cut. The fly is set in pendulation, the recurrence of which can be extended by raising the speed of efflux and diminishing the division of cut from edge. Some ultrasonic generators which use a blaze fitting or a round section of direct current to make vibrations rely upon warm gauges what more, are not commonly used in the present days. The least troublesome procedure for producing high-recurrence ultrasonic is piezoelectric precious stone transducers. The piezoelectric is a wonder coming about as a result of a coupling between the electric and mechanical properties of a material. It is a miracle, appeared by explicit gems which distort alive and well when electric weights are concerned them in explicit ways. The ordinarily used precious stones for ultrasonic wave age are quartz, Rochelle salt, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, lithium sulfate, dipotassium tartrate, potassium dehydrogenate phosphate. Magnetostrictive transducers 5 are also ordinarily used for the time of ultrasonic waves. This doles out the effect by which alluring materials persevere through a modification long inferable from a sub-nuclear revision, when the appealing field wherein they are set, changes the quality. Exactly when a ferromagnetic bar is presented to an exchanging alluring field parallel to its length it might be set in movements at one of its standard frequencies, in this manner ultrasonic waves are conveyed. The propelled method for delivering a ultrasonic wave is Laser Beam Ultrasonic (LBU). Laser-ultrasonic uses lasers to create and recognize ultrasonic waves. It is a non-contact methodology used to portray a material, to check its thickness and to perceive deserts. LBU is worked by first creating a ultrasound in a model utilizing a beat laser. Exactly when the laser heartbeat strikes the model, ultrasonic waves are made through a warm adaptable system or by evacuation. Its accuracy and adaptability have made it an alluring new alternative in the non-damaging testing market. Dove in livelihoods of laser ultrasonic's are composite investigations for the plane business and on-line hot cylinder thickness estimations for the metallurgical business. The imperative physical impacts of ultrasonic are cavitations, contiguous warming and the generation of murkiness. Cavitations are a nonexclusive term related to various ultrasonic impacts portrayed by the game-plan and breakdown of air pockets in a liquid. The results of cavitations may confuse and with an enduring degree. Warming impacts become increasingly significant with an increment of repeat in context on broadened assimilation. Mist age is occurred by the surge of liquid flung when unprecedented waves hit an interface between a liquid and air. Ultrasonic waves can comprehend a degassing activity, for instance, the dispatch of gases from liquids or solids. There are such endless typical impacts, blend impacts, electro compound effects which have been misused in various businesses of ultrasonic. Medicinal livelihoods of ultrasound ordinarily don't include estimation of sound speed in any case rather rely on the general invariance of sound speed in human tissue. Different medicinal gadgets measure the reflected sign and show the spatial assortment of its sufficiency, typically utilizing the time locale to offer noteworthiness to the picture. Reliably, the ultrasonic system has been seen to be one of the most profitable assets for considering the aide and other physical-mix properties of liquids and liquid mixes. Boyle started the investigation of the spread of ultrasonic waves in liquids.

THE GLASS TRANSITION

Glass arrangement involves bypassing the procedure of crystallization1,6-9 and practically all materials can, be set up as formless solids by brisk cooling. The pace of cooling differs hugely from material to material. At the point when glass is made, the material is immediately cooled from a super cooled fluid, an intermediate state among fluid and glass. To turn into an undefined strong, the material is cooled, beneath a basic temperature called the glass progress temperature. The recently framed nebulous structure isn't as sorted out as a gem, yet it is more composed than a fluid.

Fig. 1: V-T Diagram showing glass formation

temperature is plotted in the x-pivot and the volume/enthalpy involved by the material is plotted along the y-hub, where temperature Tm is the melting point, and Tg is the glass change temperature. The glass change happens when the super cooled fluid stops into a formless strong with no unexpected discontinuity in volume, close to the glass progress temperature. The glass progress temperature Tg isn't as strongly defined as Tm; Tg shifts towards lower temperature when the cooling rate is diminished. The explanation behind this wonder is the lofty temperature reliance of the atomic reaction with time. Tg likewise shifts with the creation of crude materials chose for planning of glass. At the point when the temperature is brought down underneath Tg, the reaction time for sub-atomic reworking turns out to be a lot bigger than tentatively available occasions, with the goal that fluid like versatility vanishes and the nuclear setup winds up solidified into a lot of fixed positions to which the molecules are tied. Conceivable scope of glass development is spoken to by temperatures Tga and Tgb. Tga is the glass progress temperature for a glass shaped when the cooling rate is decreased and Tgb is that of increased pace of cooling.

OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF GLASS

For each wavelength of light passing through the spectrometer, the intensity of the light passing through the reference cell is measured (Io). The intensity of the light passing through the sample cell is also measured for that wavelength (I). If I is less than Io, then obviously the sample has absorbed some of the light. For reasons to do with the form of the Beer- Lambert Law10, the relationship between A (the absorbance) and the two intensities are given by: The absorption coefficient, α = A/d, d = thickness of the sample. Generally, the absorption edge of these glasses is determined by the oxygen bond strength in the glass forming network. Any change of oxygen bonding in the glass network, for instance, changes the formation of non-bridging oxygen, thereby changing the characteristic absorption edge. For glasses and amorphous materials α is given by the Tauc11,12, s relation,

Basis of Ultrasonic Wave Propagation in Polymers -

Ultrasonic waves are mechanical vibrations (in the district of 20 kHz–100 MHz), which proliferate through extremely little relocations of iotas and

chain sections and between atomic chains make removals into neighboring zones; consequently creating pressure waves through the material.1,2 Several kinds of ultrasonic waves may engender through solids, in particular, longitudinal waves, shear waves, Rayleigh waves (or surface acoustic waves) and Lamb waves (or plate waves). For use in UDMA of polymers, longitudinal waves are liked to shear waves as they experience just a restricted, thus quantifiable, level of constriction even in fluid or delicate gel tests. Shear waves, then again, would hose out in all respects quickly. The acoustic attributes of a material are determined by two parameters, the ultrasonic speed c also, the ultrasonic constriction coefficient a. The first is the speed of proliferation of flexible waves, which is determined from the deliberate "time of flight," that is the time taken by the sound to go through the example. The speed of sound in a homogenous medium is legitimately identified with both flexible modulus and thickness; subsequently changes in either versatility or thickness will influence heartbeat travel time through an example of a given thickness. The constriction is a proportion of dissipative vitality, changed over to warm, as the wave goes through the material. Other than reflection misfortunes at plainly visible deformities or other material discontinuities, a large portion of the vitality misfortune results from the assimilation and the scattering of ultrasonic waves. The scattering commitment is impressive when the medium is basically heterogeneous and contains particles of size practically identical to the wavelength of the propagating waves, as for the situation of filled polymers and some crystalline polymers. The degree of vitality retention is identified with atomic modifications in the polymer structure, for example, glass change, melting, optional advances, and to synthetic responses, for example, those occurring during curing of thermosetting resins. The attenuation coefficient is determined from the change in the amplitude of the acoustic signal. To have an accurate assessment of the sound velocity and attenuation in a material, it is necessary the measurement of the specimen thickness and its variations eventually occurring during the test. The acoustic response of a polymer can provide information about viscoelastic behavior, because it can be directly used to calculate the two components of the complex modulus. As mentioned earlier, the use of longitudinal waves is preferred to shear waves to establish more controllable and measurable attenuation conditions. The propagation of longitudinal elastic waves can, in fact, be tracked even in liquid mixtures of monomers or oligomers. Depending on the nature of the ultrasonic wave, from measurements of velocity c and attenuation can be calculated from the following expressions: Where ρ is the material density and λ is the wavelength of propagating waves, obtained from the ratio of velocity to frequency f (λ = c/ f ). When aλ/2π 1, that is, when the extent of attenuation per wavelength is small, as in most practical applications, the following simplified formulas can be used to calculate the two components of the complex modulus: Where ω is the angular frequency (ω = 2π f ). In particular, when the sample dimension ormal to the direction of the acoustic wave propagation is large compared to the wavelength, the measurement of ultrasonic velocity and attenuation coefficient may be used to calculate the storage. Note that these relationships are valid for plane strain conditions, where Lcorresponds to the elastic modulus for specimens where the change in dimensions takes place in only one direction, that is when deformations in the other two directions are constrained so that the dimensions remain unchanged. These conditions occur in specimens or structures where two dimensions are much larger than the third.14, 1. Repulsion forces Repulsion is a short range interaction which occurs when two atoms or molecules approach one another.

2. Orientation forces

These forces are due to the mutual columbic attraction or repulsion of the net charges or electric moments carried by two interaction atoms or molecules. Higher-order columbic interactions are ion-dipole and dipole-dipole interaction. or molecule by an approaching atom or molecule.

4. Dispersion (London) forces

Dispersion forces have a purely quantum mechanical nature, are always attractive for molecules or atoms in their electronic state and arise even between neutral non-polar molecules or atoms.

5. Mulliken charge transfer forces

The approach of an electron donor molecule to an electron acceptor molecule can lead to the transfer of an electron from the former to the latter with the concomitant appearance of a characteristic, intense absorption band in the visible or UV region of the spectrum.

6. Hydrogen Bonding

Hydrogen bonding is one of the short range powers. At the point when the hydrogen is covalently attached to profoundly electronegative particle, for example, fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen, the hydrogen molecule frames a frail bond with another electronegative iota. This feeble bond is called hydrogen bond (Pimentel and Mc Clellan et al., 1960) A significant element of H-bonding and of other feeble appealing interactions in arrangement is that, at ordinary temperature, just a small amount of the particles are by and large related. At balance while a certain number of new buildings are continually framed, an equivalent number of edifices are continually broken, because of the kinetic vitality of movement of the interaction atoms. Amino acids are the crucial basic units of proteins, certain sorts of hormones, anti-infection agents and numerous different mixes of organic pertinence. Since most natural macromolecules are physiologically dynamic in watery arrangements, learning of water-protein interaction is important to comprehend the job of water solvated to solute natural in the living cells. Likewise learning of the acids-base properties of amino acids is critical in understanding numerous properties of proteins. Since the organic framework comprises of a lot of water, the investigation of interaction of these amino acids has turned out to be critical. For a superior understanding of the hydration of amino acids, essential physical-synthetic properties are required. Hydration of the atoms of amino acids can be contemplated as far as acoustical parameters, which help to comprehend the solute-solute and solute-dissolvable interactions. The nature and the course of action of the amino corrosive side chain along the protein spine are in

Ple until it achieves the interface between the example and the surrounding air. Again a piece of it (A1r) returns back to the ultrasonic transducer and is changed over into an electrical heartbeat, which is shown as a subsequent reverberation. Since each heartbeat is mostly transmitted and halfway reflected at the example interfaces, a few various echoes are watched. The ultrasonic speed and lessening coefficient are determined by measuring both the "season of flight," that is the time between progressive echoes, and their relative amplitudes. In the transmission technique, two tests are required, one as a transmitter and the different as a recipient. The A0, created by the transmitter transducer, goes through the example and achieves the interface between the example and the recipient transducer. The got sign (A2) is shown as a reverberation. In the echogram are obvious likewise various echoes, originated from continuous forward and backward impressions of the acoustic wave between the two interfaces (test/transmitter and test/recipient). The lessening coefficient is determined by comparing the identified reverberation with a reference sign put away preceding the test keep running with the two tests in contact with no example. The absence of business ultrasonic instrumentation explicitly intended to portray polymers has confined the across the board utilization of this procedure. Specialists ordinarily build their own arrangement from economically accessible parts (piezoelectric gems, electronic types of gear, and so on.), which required a genuinely decent understanding of the underlying principles. The three most interesting ultrasonic frameworks found in the writing for polymer portrayal are depicted in the following piece of this audit. The principal framework was created by Alig et al.,17 which is an elaboration of the arrangement planned by Mason et al.18 This depends on the shear wave reflection procedure, in which two quartz transducers (T1 and T2) go about as producer and recipient of shear waves propagating into a quartz bar and the example. By

shear modulus. In any case, the framework exhibits a few constraints arising from the utilization of shear waves that, as referenced previously, are profoundly weakened in fluid and delicate gel tests. In addition, a precise direction of the transducer is required to keep away from the change of the shear waves into longitudinal waves.

General Characteristics of Ultrasonic Waves -

Ultrasonic waves are mechanical waves (as opposed to, for instance, light or x-beams, which are electromagnetic waves) that comprise of motions or vibrations of the nuclear or atomic particles of a substance about the balance places of these particles. Ultrasonic waves can spread in a versatile medium, which can be strong, fluid, or carry on equivalent to capable of being heard sound waves. They additionally are on a very basic level like the seismic waves experienced in geophysics (Ref 1, 5). In certain regards, a light emission is like a light emission: both are waves and comply with a general wave condition. Every movement at a trademark speed in a given homogeneous medium a speed that relies upon the properties of the medium and the wave type (Ref 5). Like light emissions, ultrasonic waves are reflected from surfaces, refracted when they cross a limit between two substances that have diverse trademark acoustic speeds, and are diffracted at edges and around impediments. Scattering by unpleasant surfaces or particles diminishes the vitality of a ultrasonic pillar, which is comparable to the way in which scattering decreases the intensity of a light bar. Similarity with Waves in Water. The general attributes of sonic or ultrasonic waves are helpfully delineated by similarity with the conduct of waves delivered in a waterway when a stone is dropped into it. Easygoing perception may prompt the wrong end that the resulting outward outspread travel of interchange peaks and troughs speaks to the development of water away from the point of effect. The way that water isn't accordingly moved is promptly reasoned from the perception that a little item floating on the outside of the water does not move away from the point of effect but rather instead only bounces here and there. The waves travel outward just as in the peaks and troughs (which can be contrasted with the compressions and rarefactions of mechanical waves in a flexible medium) and the vitality related with the waves spread radically outward. The water particles remain set up and waver all over from their ordinary places of rest. Continuing the relationship, the separation between two progressive peaks or troughs is the practiced within this separation) is a cycle. The quantity of cycles in a particular unit of time is the recurrence, f, of the waves. The stature of a peak or the profundity of a trough in connection to the surface at harmony is the abundancy of the wave perceived that the majority of the information pertaining to the proteins is certain in the amino corrosive succession. From the substance point of view, proteins are linear, heterogeneous polymers hereditarily commanded from 20 distinctive building squares or amino corrosive deposits linked by covalent peptide bonds (– CO–NH–) into the polypeptide chain. In physiological conditions, the two terminals of amino acids are charged both positive charge (amino gathering, NH3+) and negative charge (carboxyl gathering, COO−), and hence the particle has the properties of a ''zwitterion''. The peptide bond is entirely steady and has strange conformational properties (Pannur Venkatesu et al., 2007). The zwitterionic heads of amino acids are hydrated by hydrophilic hydration though it's a polar part is hydrated by hydrophobic hydration. Cover of various hydrated circles of amino acids and co solutes occur. Subsequently a water particle mainly from the hydrophobic hydration circle gets out. The volume change during exchange is a decent indicator of these discharged water particles because of various kinds of cover among hydration circles (Das et al., 2004). Along these lines, the co-circle cover model can be utilized to support the Vφ°,tr esteems as far as solute-cosolute interactions. According to this model, when two solute particles come adequately near one another so their co-circles cover, some cosphere material is dislodged (Fig.3) and this is joined by the change in thermodynamic parameters (Banipal et al., 2007).

Fig. 3 Ion hydration co-sphere overlap, adapted from Krishnan et al. (2009).

In ternary systems (amino acids + salt + water), the overlap of cosolute ions and amino acids comes into play because of interactions between: 1. The (-NH3+, -COO−) charged ends of amino acids and ions of the cosolute, called ion-charged/hydrophilic group or ion-ion interactions; 2. The hydrophobic parts of the amino acids and cosolute ions or the charged ends/hydrophilic parts of amino acids and 3. The hydrophobic parts of the amino acids and hydrophobic parts of ions of cosolutes, called hydrophobic-hydrophobic group interactions (Siddique and Naqvi et al., 2010). A part from the study on liquids, the ultrasonic investigation on solids is gaining importance nowadays. In recent years, interest in glasses has rapidly increased because of their diverse applications in electronics nuclear and solar energy innovations and acousto-optic gadgets. The acoustic wave spread in mass glasses has been of extensive interest to comprehend their mechanical properties. By and large glass has no definite organization and can be arranged into two sort's to be specific physical glass and compound glass. The most significant attributes of glass are hardness, straightforwardness, refractive and dispersive limits, and low coefficient of cubical development, high electrical insulation, low warm conductivity and compound inertness under ordinary condition. Ultrasonic speed estimations assume a noteworthy job in understanding the basic attributes of glass organize. Oxide glasses containing progress metal oxides (TMOs) are of continuing interest in light of their materialness in memory switching, electrical edge, optical switching gadgets, and so forth. The auxiliary and electronic properties of these glasses just as their optical, attractive, and mechanical properties rely upon the general extents of the diverse valence conditions of the TM particles present. (Marzouk et al., 2014) X-beam diffraction is incredible asset for materials portrayal just as for definite basic explanation. As the physical properties of strong (e.g., electrical, optical, attractive and so on.) rely upon nuclear plans of materials, determination of the portrayal of materials. All the crystalline stages can be distinguished, if they are available in an adequate amount. Glass is considered as non-crystalline strong which needs periodicity in its internal structure plan. This makes the explanation of its structure exceptionally troublesome even by X-beam diffraction investigation. In TGA, the definite mass of an example is determined while it experiences a temperature treatment. It is conceivable to keep the example at a consistent temperature or a linear temperature angle can be connected. On the other hand, the example can be warmed until a steady mass is obtained. Differential Thermal Analysis is an expository strategy wherein the example and an inert reference material are warmed simultaneously, each having its very own temperature sensing and recording contraption. The temperature changes that happen sublimation, glass, advances, gem advances, and crystallization. Infrared spectroscopy is an amazing explanatory method which gives atomic level information on useful gatherings of both inorganic and natural materials. Test readiness is minimal, the estimation is non-ruinous and modest quantities of material (micrograms to monograms) can be broke down. An infrared locale comprises of three sections and they are close infrared (12,500-4000 cm-1), center infrared (4000-650 cm-1) and far infrared (667–10 cm-1) (willard et al., 1992). In any case, for a natural physicist the district 4000 - 650 cm-1 gives all information he required. This is as yet the most promptly examined locale which covers the assimilations because of the crucial vibrations of practically all the basic utilitarian gatherings of natural mixes (Kalsi et al., 1993). An infrared area can be partitioned into four sections. They are; 1) The photographic area: This reaches from obvious locale to 1.2. 2) The extremely close infrared area: This is otherwise called suggestion district it ranges from 1.2 to 2.5. 3) The close infrared district: This is otherwise called the vibration-pivot locale and it ranges from 2.5 to 25. 4) The far infrared locale: This is known as the pivot area and it ranges from 25 to 300-400. Hardness testing can be isolated into three main classifications, indentation hardness testing, dynamic hardness testing, and scratch hardness testing. Indentation is right now the handiest strategy for testing. A material with hardness close to that of precious stone is utilized to make a lasting twisting in the outside of that example, and afterward the hardness of the test is determined from the heap expected to make the distortion and the components of the changeless missh appending. This technique is connected to generally utilized hardness models norms, including Vickers hardness, Knoop hardness, Rockwell hardness, and Brinell hardness. In perspective on the growing interest to dissect the sub-atomic interaction, physical, basic properties of fluids and glasses by ultrasonic and

The basic and versatile properties of Li+ and W6+ metal particles doped with sodium borate glass using Pulser–recipient strategy, 3. The warm, physical and basic properties of blended soluble base and change emblems in sodium borate glass. The written works pertaining to the above investigations are looked into here and the equivalent is given in the following segments. Intensity use of ultrasonic wave has a place in non-dangerous and ruinous systems of portrayal separately. The amounts, ultrasonic speed and constriction are the significant parameters, which are required for the ultrasonic non-damaging strategy of material portrayal. The ultrasonic speed is identified with the flexible constants and thickness of material. Henceforth, it gives the information about the mechanical, anisotropic and versatile properties of medium through it passes. It is likewise significant in low temperature material science since it is involved in the assessment of Debye normal speed and Debye temperature. Ultrasonic speed in nanofluid relies upon the centralization of nano-particles of material scattered in polymer network, accordingly it isn't just significant at mass scale yet in addition at nanoscale. At the point when the ultrasonic wave spreads through the medium, its some piece of vitality is weakened through the distinctive system like warm misfortune, scattering, assimilation, electron-phonon interaction, phonon-phonon interaction, and magnon-phonon interaction and so forth., called as ultrasonic lessening. The coefficient of ultrasonic constriction associates a few physical properties like versatile constants, guruneisen parameter, warm conductivity, warm unwinding time, acoustic coupling consistent, warm vitality thickness, explicit warmth, molecule size, thickness, Debye normal speed, and focus and so forth. Accordingly, the material can be described with the information of ultrasonic parameters under various physical conditions. Typically, the ultrasonic NDT of material portrayal are utilized for the determination of (a) versatile constants (Shear modulus, Bulk modulus, Young modulus and weak modulus), (b) microstructure (grain size, surface, thickness and so forth.), (c) discontinuity (porosity, creep harm, weariness harm and so on.), and mechanical properties (rigidity, shear quality, hardness and so forth.). GMR etc. Now a day, the synthesis and characterization of nonmaterial‘s and nanofluids are also in touch of ultrasonic NDT&E. In this chapter, ultrasonic material property characterization has been considered. Initially, it covers information about the ultrasonic wave, its mode of propagation and characteristic properties. After this, a brief study of ultrasonic velocity and attenuation in solid has been discussed, which covers the theoretical evaluation and experimental measurements of these ultrasonic parameters. Later on, the characterization of different material (metals, alloys, platinum group metals, nanomaterials, nanofluid, semiconductor etc) has been discussed on the basis of these ultrasonic quantities and related parameters.

A SOURCE OF ULTRASONIC ATTENUATION

The lessening of ultrasonic wave in solids might be credited to various causes, every one of which is normal for the physical properties of the medium concerned. In spite of the fact that the precise idea of the reason for the lessening may not generally be appropriately comprehended. In any case, an endeavor is made here to characterize the different potential reasons for constriction that are as. a. Misfortune due to thermo flexible unwinding b. Constriction because of electron phonon connection c. Weakening due to phonon communication d. Constriction due to magnon-phonon association e. Misfortunes because of cross section flaws f. Grain limit misfortunes g. Misfortune due Bardoni unwinding and interior grating A brief of these misfortunes can be under remained by the accompanying ways. A polycrystalline strong might be isotropic due to the irregular direction of the constituent grains in spite of the fact that the individual grains may themselves be anisotropic. Subsequently, when a given pressure is connected to this sort of strong there will be variety of strain starting with one grain then onto the next. A pressure causes an ascent in temperature in every crystallite. But since of the in homogeneity of the resultant strain, the temperature appropriation isn't uniform one. In this temperature, to one that has endured a lesser strain, which therefore is at lower temperature. An inversion toward warmth stream happens during the development half of a cycle. The procedure is obviously an unwinding procedure. In this manner, when a ultrasonic wave spreads in a gem, there is a loosening up stream of warm vitality from packed (hot area) towards the extended (cool locale) areas related with the wave. This warm conduction between two districts of the wave causes thermo flexible lessening. The misfortune is conspicuous for which the warm development coefficient and the warm conductivity is high and it isn't so significant in the event of protecting or semi-directing precious stones because of less free electrons. The thermoplastic misfortune (α)Th for longitudinal wave can be assessed by the Mason articulation.

Properties characterized with ultrasonic attenuation-

The ultrasonic lessening coefficient is all around connected to a few physical parameters and properties of the material. The accompanying chart speaks to a perspective on their reliance. Being a wide connection with material properties, the few properties of the material can be characterized like grain size, yield quality, malleable to fragile progress temperature, Neel temperature, deviation number, conduct of mechanical and attractive properties with temperature and piece and so on. The marvel in charge of weakening can likewise be comprehended with the learning of ultrasonic constriction. However there are a few work have been made for the portrayal of material based on speed and weakening yet here we will talk about the speed lessening in some organized materials like fcc, bcc, hcp, heaxagonal, NaCl/CsCl type organized materials and so forth.

IMPORTANCE OF NON-DESTRUCTIVE CHARACTERIZATION OF MATERIAL PROPERTIES

There are four metallurgical attributes, which controls all the material properties. These are compound organization, microstructure, gem structure and separation thickness. Material properties can extensively be named miniaturized scale basic cleaning, crushing and carving, while mechanical properties are dictated by mechanical tests like strain tests, Charpy test, Drop weight test, and so on. These tests being damaging in nature are done on coupons with a presumption that the coupon is the genuine agent of the segment that will go into administration. During creation of any part, forms like hardening, mechanical working and warmth treatment oversees the over four qualities and in this manner material properties. The customary 'coupon based' approach of deciding material properties may not be sufficient as there might be variety in the thermo mechanical treatment seen by the coupon and the segment itself. Consequently the consequences of damaging tests on coupons may not really apply to the part to be utilized in administration. During administration, there are numerous variables, which unfavorably influence the planned existence of a segment prompting its untimely retirement. Such factors incorporate unforeseen anxieties (lingering and framework), task outside planned points of confinement (extreme temperature and burden cycling), activity and natural impacts, debasement of material properties in administration, and so on. It is hard to foresee the effect of these elements on the administration life of the part during the structure organize itself. Also, it may not be conceivable to draw a coupon from a part to decide its wellbeing for proceeded with administration. Non-dangerous portrayal of material properties accordingly expect an incredible essentialness during manufacture just as administration life of the part. A portion of the non-dangerous testing procedures that have been utilized to portray material properties are ultrasonic trying, swirl current testing, attractive strategies, Barkhaussen clamor, radiometry, Mossbauer spectroscopy, positron demolition, and so forth.

CONCLUSION

Ultrasonic wave propagation for polymer characterization is a quick, nondestructive, and noninvasive system dependent on low-power ultrasound. It tends to be utilized for the high-recurrence DMA of polymers, empowering to evaluate their viscoelastic properties and to decide their change temperatures. Moreover, it tends to be utilized to screen the advancement of strong state properties of thermosetting tars during assembling operations and, to be sure, establishes a helpful device for online procedure control in the creation of polymeric framework composites.

case, the frameworks picked for the present work viz., Na2O-B2O3, Na2O-B2O3-Li2O, and Na2O-B2O3-WO have displayed strong electrolytes away batteries and the covering layers for optical, opto-electronic gadgets, and so forth. It is commonly acknowledged that lithium and tungsten particle enter the glass structure initially in one valance state viz., Li+ and W6+. The assessed acoustical, versatile and mechanical properties of the lithium and tungsten doped with sodium borate glasses illuminate the inflexibility and conservativeness in auxiliary system. Nonetheless, the NBL arrangement of glass have higher inflexibility, quality and minimization of the glass organize than the NBW glasses. The X-beam diffraction example of the contemplated glass frameworks uncovers the nonattendance of any discrete or persistent sharp crystalline pinnacles, yet demonstrates homogenous lustrous characters.
