ABSTRACTDifferential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction have been utilized to monitor the solid state amorphization reaction in crystalline Ni/Zr multilayers. Enthalpy of mixing of amorphous NiZr alloys has been measured. Kinetics of amorphous phase formation and thermal stability have been discussed in some detail.

The mechanisms of metallic glass formation and competing crystallization processes in mechanically-deformed Ni-Zr multilayered composites have been investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry and x-ray diffraction. Our investigation of the heat of formation of amorphous NixZr1−x alloys shows a large negative heat of mixing (on the order of 30 kJ/mole) for compositions near Zr55Ni45 with a compositional dependence qualitatively similar to that predicted by mean field theory. We find that the products of solid state reactions in composites of Ni and Zr can be better understood in terms of the equilibrium phase diagram and the thermal stability of liquid quenched metallic glasses. We have determined the composition of the growing amorphous phase at the Zr interface in these Ni-Zr diffusion couples to be 55 ± 4% Zr. We investigated the kinetics of solid state reactions competing with the solid state amorphization reaction and found the value of the activation energy of the initial crystallization and growth of the growing amorphous phase to be 2.0 ± 0.1 eV, establishing an upper limit on the thermal stability of the growing amorphous phase.

The effect of several concentrations of carboxylated nitrile butadiene rubber (XNBR) functionalized halloysite nanotubes (XHNTs) on the vulcanization and degradation kinetics of XNBR/epoxy compounds were evaluated using experimental and theoretical methods. The isothermal vulcanization kinetics were studied at various temperatures by rheometry and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results obtained indicated that the nth order model could not accurately predict the curing performance. However, the autocatalytic approach can be used to estimate the vulcanization reaction mechanism of XNBR/epoxy/XHNTs nanocomposites. The kinetic parameters related to the degradation of XNBR/epoxy/XHNTs nanocomposites were also assessed using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). TGA measurements suggested that the grafted nanotubes strongly enhanced the thermal stability of the nanocomposite.

Glass forming ability and crystallization kinetics of Al-Mg-Ni-La alloys have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The maximum thickness achievable in glasses of Al76Mg11Ni8La5and Al69Mg18Ni8La5ribbons were 200 and 120 μm, respectively. The crystallization temperature and peak temperature indicated by DSC measurements displayed dependence on the heating rate during continuous heating, and were coincident with Lanoka’s relationship. The activation energies for the crystallization reactionExwere obtained from the Kissinger’s equation. The results show the Mg addition is beneficial to the thermal stability of the amorphous phase.

Supramolecular hydrogels were formed through F127, acryloyl chloride modified F127 inclusion complex with α-cyclodextrin, respectively. The structure of modified copolymers and inclusion complex was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR). Hydrogels formed from supramolecular inclusion are imparted channel-type structure investigated by wide angle x-ray diffraction (WAXRD). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and TG experiments showed that thermal stability of hydrogels depend on the nature of axis polymer. The relative model was proposed to elucidate the inclusion complexes and hydrogels formation.

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) of Cu45Zr48-xAl7Tix with x= 0, 1.5, and 3 at.% were prepared by copper mould casting. The corrosion resistance of the BMGs with different Ti contents was examined by potentiodynamic polarization tests and weight loss measurements in 1 N NaOH, 1 N H2SO4, 1 N H2SO4 + 0.01 N NaCl and 0.5 N NaCl solutions, respectively. The newly-developed BMGs’ corrosion resistance in Cl-- or both H+ and Cl--ions containing solutions can be greatly enhanced. The influence of Ti addition on glass forming ability (GFA) and thermal stability was investigated by x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry in detail. The alloy containing 1.5 at.% Ti exhibits the largest GFA, the critical size comes up to 10 mm in diameter.

Unsaturated polyamides were prepared by condensing /3(4-ethoxyphenyl) glutaconic acid with various aromatic diamines. The polycondensates were characterized by IR spectroscopy, vapor phase osmometry, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and elemental analysis. All resins were found to decompose in the range '-210-600 °C. The kinetics of decomposition were studied. The results indicated that the resins possess reasonably good thermal stability.

Faujasite was hydrothermally synthesized from fly ash at 100oC in alkaline solution by reflux with 5M HCl and fusion with NaOH (weight ratio of NaOH/fly ash = 1.2) pretreatments. Kinetics of faujasite formation was performed by variation of hydrothermal time (0-120 hours). Thermal stability of faujasite from fly ash was tested at 400-900oC and was compared with commercial zeolite Y. The solid products were characterized by X-ray diffraction method. Results showed that faujasite was formed through dissolution of fly ash components such as quartz, mullite and amorphous aluminosilicates (0-3 hours) followed by crystallization to form faujasite (6-48 hours). In longer hydrothermal time (48-72 hours), faujasite transformed into zeolite P and completely formed hydroxysodalite after 120 hours. X-ray diffraction pattern showed that thermal stability of faujasite from fly ash was relatively lower than that of commercial zeolite Y. Faujasite from fly ash transformed into amorphous phase at 800oC whereas commercial zeolite Y transformed into amorphous phase at 900oC.
