The Degree Of Crystallinity

The potential of hemp fibre as a reinforcing material for Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was investigated. Good interaction between hemp fibre and PLA resulted in increases of 100% for Young’s modulus and 30% for tensile strength of composites containing 30 wt% fibre. Different predictive ‘rule of mixtures’ models (e.g. Parallel, Series and Hirsch) were assessed regarding the dependence of tensile properties on fibre loading. Limited agreement with models was observed. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) studies showed that hemp fibre increased the degree of crystallinity in PLA composites.

The Degree Of Crystallinity

The structure and thermal characteristics of nanocomposites based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and montmorillonite (MMT) intercalated with polyvinylpyrrolidone were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The modification of PVA with intercalated MMT reduces the degree of crystallinity of the resulting nanocomposites but significantly increases their thermal stability. Under ultrasound, the intercalated MMT was completely distributed in a PVA solution and formed a monocrystalline structure. Films based on PVA with modified MMT were cross-linked at 110°C in the presence of 5 wt% acrylic acid and 0.5 wt% Ferrous(II) sulfate as an initiator. The formed films have a homogeneous cross-linked structure.

The Degree Of Crystallinity

Abstract An improved x-ray technique has been worked out to determine the degree of crystallinity in natural rubber. Inaccuracies which sometimes occur in quantitative x-ray measurements were eliminated, and it has been shown that the amount of crystalline rubber, both in frozen samples of raw rubber and in stretched vulcanized rubber, could be determined fairly accurately. More experiments were carried out and the results are described. These results, which confirm the current views on the problem of crystallization, point to relatively low degress of crystallization, even in highly stretched rubber, and they agree with some other experimental evidence and with a recent theoretical investigation.

The Degree Of Crystallinity

The work deals with the reaction of ethanol conversion over chromium copper binary oxide catalysts. It showed that acetaldehyde is the main product of the ethanol conversion reaction. As the temperature rises, the direction of the ethanol conversion reaction shifts toward dehydration of ethanol into ethylene. Studies revealed that the atomic ratio of chromium to copper in the composition of the catalyst also has a strong effect on the activity of chromium-copper oxide catalysts. It established that samples with high chromium content in the composition of the catalyst display the greatest activity in the reaction of acetic aldehyde formation. So, on the sample Cr-Cu = 6-4, the yield of acetaldehyde reaches 82.5% with a selectivity of 97.6%. X-ray studies found that Cr-Cu-O catalysts consist mainly of initial oxides and in some samples indicate the chemical compound. X-ray studies showed that as the copper content decreases, the degree of crystallinity increases in the studied catalytic system. Comparison of the activity of Cr-Cu-O catalysts with their crystallinity degree revealed that the rise in crystallinity degree of chromium-copper oxide catalysts leads to the increase of acetic aldehyde yield and its selectivity in the ethanol conversion reaction.

The Degree Of Crystallinity

A new method for purification of 2-methyl-2-oxazoline using citric acid was developed and living cationic ring-opening polymerization of 2-methyl-2-oxazoline was carried out. Polymerization was conducted in acetonitrile using benzyl chloride—boron trifluoride etherate initiating system. According to DSC data, the temperature range of melting of the crystalline phase of the resulting polymer was 95–180 °C. According to small-angle X-ray scattering and wide-angle X-ray diffraction data, the degree of crystallinity of the polymer was 12%. Upon cooling of the polymer melt, the polymer became amorphous. Using thermogravimetric analysis, it was found that the thermal destruction of poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) started above 209 °C.

A novel two-step methodology delivering zinc into the structure of β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) has been investigated. Incorporating wet precipitation of calcium-deficient apatite [Ca9-xZnx(HPO4)(PO4)5(OH)] (x = 0.00–1.00 mol) using a microwave-assisted process followed by two-hour calcination at 1000 °C has been conducted to generate a ratio of 1.48 of Zn doped β-TCP. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). Our results confirmed that the product was crystalline Zn2+-doped β-tricalcium phosphate. The incorporation of Zn+2 into the β-TCP lattice resulted in a shifting of diffraction peaks to higher 2θ values, which were attributed to the substitution of larger-sized Ca+2 ions with smaller-sized Zn2+ ions. A reduction in the intensity of the XRD peaks was also observed due to the reduction in the degree of crystallinity of the samples. Lattice parameters along the a and c-axis showed a gradual decrease in length with an increase in the amount of Zn2+ doping. This decrease was attributed to the replacement of Ca+2 ion by the smaller-sized Zn2+ ions. The microstructure of the powders consisted of microscale aggregates fused together. EDX analysis of all samples showed that the Zn2+ doping had successfully taken place and the amount of Zn2+ present in the samples was in good agreement with the theoretical values.

Rice, maize and potato starches were hydrolyzed by amylase to obtain porous starches as final product. The adsorptive capacity, desorbed rates, degree of crystallinity and retrogradation properties of native and porous starches were investigated. The results showed that porous starches had the stronger adsorptive capacity and slower desorbed rate compared with native starches. In the three starch materials, the adsorptive capacity of rice starch for liquids was the strongest; the adsorptive capacity of potato starch for liquids was the weakest. the more flavors adsorbed, the more flavors desorbed. X-ray diffraction showed that Enzyme hydrolysis did not result in any significant changes in the degree of crystallinity of starch. The porous starches exhibited lower tendency of retrogradation as assessed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

The Degree Of Crystallinity

Wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to determine the morphology of crystalline phase of blends of poly(ethylene-oxide) (PEO) and styrene-acrylic acid (S-AA) copolymers neutralized with sodium ions (Na+). In this study, we investigated the effects of blend composition and the content of ionic groups in amorphous ionomers on the degree of crystallinity and the crystallite sizes. It was found that the degree of crystallinity of PEO in the blends decreases both with increasing S-ANa(6.4) content and with increasing ANa content. The sizes of PEO crystallites, measured both in the direction perpendicular and parallel to the polymer axis, are almost independent of ionic groups content in the amorphous component of the blends but they decrease with increasing S-ANa(6.4) content. For the blends containing small amounts of PEO the confined crystallization of this polymer were observed. The final crystalline morphology of these blends, observed by SEM method, is different in comparison to that formed without spatial confinement.
