“…The enhancement of the relative dielectric constant is attributed to the elemental content and metallic impurities which increase with increasing the rock fiber concentration. Some of these metallic impurities like Ti, Fe, Zn, silicon and oxygen have been reported [12].…”

The physical properties of rock wool fiber-polystyrene composites have been studied as a function of temperature, frequency, filler content and morphological aspects. The glass transition temperature, mechanical properties, dielectric constant and morphology showed dependence on the rock fibers' concentration. The physical properties of the prepared composite were correlated with the morphology and its glass transition temperature.

“…The prepared composite contains basalt fibers randomly distributed in PS matrix. The a.c. conductivity and the elemental analysis of the Jordan rock wool fibers were studied by Abu El-Haija et al [12] who related the conductive and insulation properties of rock wool to its elemental content determined by (XRF) and (PIXE) techniques.…”

“…At the end of the 0° port beamline, a scattering chamber is mounted, and a pair of magnet quadrupoles on the beamline is used to focus the beam. A chamber constructed and installed many years ago with a technical aid of the IAEA, and used since 1985 for routine elemental analysis but not for aerosol analysis, was recently upgraded in the frame of IAEA regional projects (RAS0072 and RAS0076) for ARASIA member states, and a dedicated beamline for PIXE–RBS analysis was installed at JUVAC. A new X‐ray detector, data acquisition system, data analysis software, and vacuum system were procured and installed, and will hopefully help making JUVAC a regional center for the characterization of atmospheric aerosols in ARASIA.…”

The University of Jordan Van de Graaff accelerator (JUVAC) was devoted many years ago to promote scientific research through the installation of several beamlines based on nuclear techniques. It constitutes the first and unique, till now, ion beam analysis facility in Jordan. Among these techniques, the JUVAC has recently installed, with the financial and technical aid of the International Atomic Energy Agency, a combination of particle‐induced X‐ray emission (PIXE) and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS). A new X‐ray detector has been installed, and the system has been tested for aerosol analysis using a set of thin MicroMatter standards. This manuscript includes a brief description of the combined PIXE–RBS beamline with some results, particularly those obtained by PIXE. The low‐energy proton beam adds a technical limitation to attain optimum analytical performance. However, a simulation of the RBS spectrum of protons on aerosol filter indicates that the RBS measurement for some elements (e.g., Pb) can replace the PIXE one.
