The influence of molecular orientation on the melting behavior of draw-annealed poly(phenylene sulfide) fibers is investigated in the present paper. Tools used to probe the investigation were differential scanning calorimetry, polarized light optical microscopy, wide angle X-ray diffraction, and small angle X-ray diffraction. It is shown that molecular orientation in the crystalline and amorphous regions play a key role in crystal rearrangement during melting. A probable mechanism by which amorphous orientation influences crystal rearrangement is also discussed.

The crystallization behaviour of poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) samples prepared in large-molecule solvents, such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction. The results indicate that those samples recovered from large-molecule solvents exhibit higher crystallinity, non-isothermal crystallization temperature and faster crystallization rate than the ones crystallized in a small-molecule solvent. The crystallinity of samples from PLLA/PEG gel is about 73% measured by the DSC. The molar size of the solvent has a large influence on the formation of helical conformations and, thereby on the crystallization rate of PLLA in solution.

ABSTRACTIn order to elucidate the sensitivity and information that can be obtained from Magneto-Thermo-Gravimetric, MTG, technique, we present a comparative study of our results on structure relaxation as well as crystallization sequences as a function of time and temperature of amorphous Fe90-xSixB10 alloys in the Fe-rich regime, with those obtained from synchrotron Energy-Dispersive- X-ray-Diffraction, EDXD, and Differential Scanning Calorimetry, DSC methods.

The super-tough bio-based nylon was prepared by melt extrusion. In order to improve the compatibility between bio-based nylon and elastomer, the elastomer POE was grafted with maleic anhydride. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) were used to study the compatibility and micro-distribution between super-tough bio-based nylon and toughened elastomers. The results of mechanical strength experiments show that the 20% content of POE-g-MAH has the best toughening effect. After toughening, the toughness of the super-tough nylon was significantly improved. The notched impact strength was 88 kJ/m2 increasing by 1700%, which was in line with the industrial super-tough nylon. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were used to study the crystallization behavior of bio-based PA56, and the effect of bio-based PA56 with high crystallinity on mechanical properties was analyzed from the microstructure.

4-Cyano-1,1'-biphenyl derivatives bearing ω-hydroxyalkyl substituents were reacted with methyl 3-chloro-3-oxopropionate or cyanoacetic acid, giving liquid-crystalline linear malonates and cyanoacetates. These compounds formed monotropic nematic phases at 62 °C down to ambient temperature upon cooling from the isotropic liquid. The mesomorphic properties were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction (WAXS).

Six S,S-dialkyl acetals 2a-f of inosose (1), tripodal in structure, have been synthesized, characterized and investigated by optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (d.s.c.). The four S,S-acetals 2c-f with sufficiently long alkyl chains are thermotropic liquid crystalline; 2 e and 2 f are even dithermomesomorphic. Each of these four inosose derivatives 2c-f exhibits monotropically a most likely cubic mesophase (MI); in addition 2e and 2f show enantiotropically a hexagonal mesophase (Hx) with a non-covalent, supramolecular H-bridge architecture. Whereas the nature of the optically isotropic mesophase MI needs further clarification the stable high temperature mesophase Hx of 2 e and 2 f has been established by a miscibility test using a sugar S,S-dialkyl acetal also tripodal in structure and with a Hx phase proved by X-ray diffraction, but in contrast to 2 with an acyclic hydrophilic part. Similarities of structural features between the Hx-phases of 2e and 2f as well as of other thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystal systems are discussed briefly.
