AbstractThe complex and incompletely understood phenomenon of shear-induced crystallization of polymers may be nowadays analysed via the in situ POM-shear stage methodology. In this research, the two main issues were investigated with the use of the Linkam CCS450 shear stage connected with POM microscope. It was found that the secondary nucleation in the tree well-known temperature regimes plays the greater role in the overall crystallization kinetics than the shear induced primary nucleation. Furthermore, it was found that the tendency towards β-phase formation in shear conditions is dependent on the temperature value during shear treatment. It may be concluded that the temperature is the key parameter in the primary and secondary nucleation process and beta-phase formation in the iPP melts.

Mg-4Nd base alloys with Zn additions of 3, 5 and 8 wt % were investigated with in situ synchrotron radiation diffraction during solidification. This method enabled the investigation of phase formation and transformation in the alloys. The diffraction results were supported with TEM observations on the as-solidified samples. The results show the effect of increased Zn addition on stabilizing the Mg3RE phase (RE—rare earth). The experimental results agree only partially with the theoretical calculations indicating the need to improve the existing thermodynamic database on the alloy system.
