Mullite-based composites can be made by an in situ reaction process using silica-coated alumina (SCA) powder as a mullite precursor. In this paper we present the combined effects of zirconia and premullite seeds on the crystallization process and microstructure development. When zirconia is added without seeding, mullite formation proceeds through the formation of transient zircon. This phase provides a lower energy barrier for mullite nucleation and thus lowers the mullitization temperature. The presence of yttria as a stabilizer in zirconia reduces the activation energy for zircon formation and thus promotes the transient reaction. The addition of premullite seeds results in the nucleation of mullite from alumina and silica, and zircon does not form. At low seeding levels mullitization remains nucleation-controlled; however, once the seeding level exceeds 1–2%, this is no longer the case.

AbstractIn this work, we present our results about the thermal crystallization of ion beam sputtered hafnia on 0001 SiO2 substrates and its effect on the laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT). The crystallization process was studied using in-situ X-ray diffractometry. We determined an activation energy for crystallization of 2.6 ± 0.5 eV. It was found that the growth of the crystallites follows a two-dimensional growth mode. This, in combination with the high activation energy, leads to an apparent layer thickness-dependent crystallization temperature. LIDT measurements @355 nm on thermally treated 3 quarter-wave thick hafnia layers show a decrement of the 0% LIDT for 1 h @773 K treatment. Thermal treatment for 5 h leads to a significant increment of the LIDT values.

Polyethylene/montmorillonite (PE/MMT) nanocomposites were prepared by in situ polymerization. The crystallization behavior of PE/MMT nanocomposites at different MMT concentrations (from 0.1 to 1.2 wt %) were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The equilibrium melting points increase by the addition of MMT. The crystallization rates of PE/MMT nanocomposites are faster than those of pure PE. The addition of MMT facilitated the crystallization of PE, with the MMT functioning as a heterogeneous nucleating agent at lower content; at higher concentrations, however, the physical hindrance of the MMT layers to the motion of PE chains retarded the crystallization process.
