AbstractThe reaction chemistry of the Fe-Al and Ni-Al systems was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Experimentally measured heats of reaction and compositions of reaction products were characterized in terms of sample heating rates, reaction temperature, shape and size of aluminum powder, and sample preparation. Standard enthalpies of formation were derived from DSC results. Reaction products were identified by x-ray powder diffraction techniques.

A myriad of crystalline microstructures may be obtained by minute variations in thermal treatment during the devitrification of CdGeAs2 from the glass. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) studies show that the single crystallization exotherm observed under moderate heating conditions, splits into two superimposed exotherms (a moderately energetic one followed by a substantially energetic one) at very slow heating rates, as shown in Figure 1.It is believed that the first DSC exotherm represents the nucleation and partial growth of a non-stoichiometric. crystalline precursor phase. X-ray diffraction studies of samples sequentially quenched along the DSC exotherm indicated, to reasonable confidence, that the precursor phase was pure germanium, and with absolute confidence that the larger exotherm represents the formation of CdGeAs2 adopting the chalcopyrite structure. The TEM. STEM, and EDS studies described herein substantiate our elucidation of the precursor phase.

Abstract The possible interactions between oligoamidephosphate (OAPli) and the curatives of a sulphenamide-accelerated sulphur vulcanizing system were studied by differential scanning calorimetry, IR-spectroscopy, and X-ray analysis. The interactions in double mixtures were between OAPh and zinc oxide (ZnO) and OAPh and sulphur. The OAPh/ZnO interaction that starts at room temperature seems to be the key for understanding the peculiarities of sulphenamide-accelerated sulphur vulcanization in the presence of OAPh.

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.

ABSTRACTWe describe the strategy that we are using to make precision metal multilayers. Differential scanning calorimetry has been used with the Ni/Zr system to study the abruptness of the interface as a function of the sputtering pressure. For 10nm period multilayers there is a monotonic increase in the width of the interface with increasing sputtering pressure. W/Si multilayers have been studied as a function of both the sputtering pressure and the relative thicknesses of tungsten and silicon. At reasonably low sputtering pressures a well textured (110) tungsten X-ray peak is seen which is compatible with the expected thickness of the tungsten layers.Finally, we report some preliminary work on sputtering from tungsten and silicon targets which are at different distances from the substrate so that the degrees of bombardment on the growing layers of the film can be independently varied.

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.
