Abstract

This study investigates the surface morphology, structure analysis and the effect on the porosity and particle size of a new composite prepared using fly ash with α and β cyclodextrins. The dry mix and solution methods were used to synthesize these composite samples. The X-ray diffraction analysis shows the new peaks that indicate the interaction between the materials. These results are in agreement with the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analysis that suggested the possibility of interaction of fly ash particles with cyclodextrin. Morphology changes between the composite material and the constituent materials were observed using the scanning electron microscopic. The porosity and particle size analyses show the significant changes with respect to preparation methods.
