ABSTRACTThe diffusion process at a temperature just below the glass-transition temperature is studied in a computer model of amorphous Ni81B19. The observed diffusion events cause structural changes that are highly localized and are correlated with low-frequency localized vibrational modes. The excitation of such a mode can result in a “jump”, which is identical to the diffusion event. The jump has a cooperative character involving some tens of atoms and can be of a reversible or of an irreversible nature.

Abstract This paper focuses on the comparative evaluation of the glass transition temperature (Tg), storage modulus and thermal conductivity of trans-polyisoprene (TPI) and CdS-TPI nanocomposite. The CdS nanoparticles synthesized by chemical route are dispersed into TPI using ultrasonic vibrations. Particle size of nanocrystals is obtained from X-ray diffraction and found to be 1.84 nm. Thermo-mechanical properties (Tg and storage modulus) are measured by dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA), while thermal conductivity is a measured using the transient plane source (TPS) technique. It is observed that glass transition temperature and thermal conductivity are higher while storage modulus and mechanical properties are lower for CdS-TPI nanocomposites than for pure TPI. This has been explained on the basis of structural changes occurring due to introduction of CdS as filler into the TPI.

Devitrification Process

Although a Ti47.4Zr5.3Ni5.3Cu42 glassy alloy does not occur precipitation of crystalline in annealing of prolonged time below glass transition temperature, it shows slightly embrittlement during passing through devitrification process. The embrittlment behavior may be connected to structural relaxation. Using ultrasonic, in this study, acoustic characteristics of the glassy alloy during progressive devitrification were examined in terms of structural relaxation. The structural changes are characterized by decreases in specific volume, bulk modulus, Lamè parameter and Poisson ratio, accompanied by structural relaxation.

Dyeing Process

The effects of polar solvent on the surface morphology, glass transition temperature, crystalline structure, dimensional changes and dye uptakes of m-aramid fibers were characterized by SEM, DSC, XRD, FTIR and dyeing process after dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent treatment under different conditions. After DMSO solvent treatment, the surface of the fiber is roughened, the diameter of the fiber increases, and the specific surface area is increased. The crystallite size shows a little increase, but the glass transition temperature of the fiber drops sharply. Electron diffraction shows that effects of DMSO on the fiber structure is non-uniform, and the obvious structural changes lie on the outer surface of the fiber. Dye uptake increase has been achieved through the DMSO induced structural changes. The results have been used to improve the dyeability of meta-aramid fiber.
