The non-isothermal crystallization characteristics of the electroslag remelting (ESR)-type slag with varied B2O3 contents were investigated by non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The crystallization mechanism of the B2O3-bearing slag was also identified based on kinetics analysis. The results showed that the primary crystalline phase was CaF2, there was no change in the type of the primary crystal as B2O3 content increased, and the morphology of the CaF2 crystal was mainly dendritic. The sequence of crystal precipitation during the cooling process was CaF2 to Ca12Al14O32F2 and MgO/MgAl2O4, followed by Ca3B2O6. The activation energy of CaF2 crystallization increased firstly, then decreased and reached stability, while the activation energy of Ca3B2O6 crystallization increased continuously with the increasing B2O3 content. The crystallization behavior of CaF2 was three-dimensional growth with a constant nucleation rate. The proper B2O3 content added into the CaF2-based ESR slag should be around 1.0% to limit the precipitation of the CaF2 crystal to attain good surface ingot quality and stable ESR operation.

Poly (l-lactic acid) (PLLA) is a promising biomedical polymer material with a wide range of applications. The diverse enantiomeric forms of PLLA provide great opportunities for thermal and mechanical enhancement through stereocomplex formation. The addition of poly (d-lactic acid) (PDLA) as a nucleation agent and the formation of stereocomplex crystallization (SC) have been proven to be an effective method to improve the crystallization and mechanical properties of the PLLA. In this study, PLLA was blended with different amounts of PDLA through a melt blending process and their properties were calculated. The effect of the PDLA on the crystallization behavior, thermal, and mechanical properties of PLLA were investigated systematically by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), polarized optical microscopy (POM), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and tensile test. Based on our findings, SC formed easily when PDLA content was increased, and acts as nucleation sites. Both SC and homo crystals (HC) were observed in the PLLA/PDLA blends. As the content of PDLA increased, the degree of crystallization increased, and the mechanical strength also increased.

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.

Polypropylene/organoclay modified by dodecanol phase change material were prepared by melt blending method. The thermal stability and crystallization behavior was studied by thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). TG results indicated the window of processing of PP could be improved by adding small amount organoclay modified by dodecanol to the blend. DSC showed the organoclay modified by dodecanol affected the crystallization behavior of PP as heterogeneous nucleation agent. XRD results show that the organoclay modified by dodecanol does not change the crystal structure in the blends but only decrease the intensity of the diffraction peak.

AbstractStudy of the crystallization kinetics is particularly necessary for the analysis and design of processing operations, especially the non-isothermal crystallization behavior, which is due to the fact that most practical processing techniques are carried out under non-isothermal conditions. The non-isothermal crystallization behaviors of polyamide 6 (PA6) and PA6/high-density polyethylene/maleic anhydride/2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(tert-butylperoxy)hexane (PA6/HDPE/MAH/L-101) composites were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The crystallization kinetics under non-isothermal condition was analyzed by the Jeziorny and Mo equations, and the activation energy was determined by the Kissinger and Takhor methods. The crystal structure and morphology were analyzed by wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WXRD) and polarized optical microscopy (POM). The results indicate that PA6/HDPE/MAH/L-101 has higher crystallization temperature and crystallization rate, which is explained as due to its heterogeneous nuclei.

The formation of metal oxide-based hydroxysodalite by alkali-activation of kaolinite is studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) study and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. Different metal oxides (CoO, MgO, FeO and SiO2) were used to form the metal oxide-based hydroxysodalite. The transformation from kaolinite into hydroxysodalite is confirmed by XRD. In the thermodynamic study, the maximum peak temperatures for DSC curves at various heating rates were used to determine the activation energy (Ea) of the hydroxysodalite formation. With magnesium oxide and cobalt oxide, the formation process was found to be exothermic while it was endothermic with iron oxide.

The crystallization behavior of novel polyamide 6 (PA6) copolyamides with different amounts of bis (2-aminoethyl) adipamide/adipic acid (BAEA/AA) segment was investigated. The wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) results showed that as the amount of BAEA/AA segment increased to 10 mole%, the crystalline forms of all PA6 copolyamide were transferred from the stable α-form to the unstable γ-form because of the complex polymer structure. According to studies of crystallization kinetics, the Avrami exponent (n) values for all copolyamide samples ranged from 1.43 to 3.67 under isothermal conditions, implying that the crystallization is involved in the two- to three-dimensional growth at a high temperature of isothermal condition. The copolyamides provided a slower crystallization rate and higher crystallization activation energy (ΔEa) than neat PA6. Polyamide containing 10 mole% of BEAE/AA content exhibited a unique crystallization behavior in the coexistence of the α and γ forms. These results deepen our understanding of the relationship between BAEA/AA content, crystal structure, and its crystallization behavior in low-melting PA6, and they make these types of copolyamides useful for their practical application.

V2O5 powders were successfully synthesized by the EDTA assistanced ultrasound sol-gel process using NH4VO3 and EDTA, NH3•H2O as raw materials. The synthesized activation energy and the influence of pH values and the calcination temperatures on the phases and microstructures of powders were particularly investigated. The precursor powders and the V2O5 powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform inelectron microscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry-thermal gravimetric (DSC-TG). Results show that the obtained products exhibit good crystallization under the conditions of pH=4, calcination temperature 400~500 °C and calcination time 0.5 h during the synthesizing process. The as-prepared V2O5 powders show preferred growth orientation along (001) plane at the pH=4. By DSC analysis, the ultrasonic cavitation result in the decrease in synthesized activation energy obviously than that was prepared without ultrasonic irradiation.

AbstractThe non-isothermal crystallization behavior of polypropylene (PP)/zinc oxide composites with various mass ratios was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. The Jeziorny and Mo models were applied to calculate the non-isothermal crystallization kinetic parameters of the composites. During non-isothermal crystallization, the width of the exothermic peak increased from 7°C to 12°C with increasing cooling rate. The exothermic peak position at 10°C shifted to a lower temperature, and the half crystallization time t1/2 decreased from 2.86 min to 0.51 min. The Friedman model was used to determine the variation of activation energy at each stage of crystallization. The crystallization activation energies obtained varied significantly at each stage of crystallization. The crystallization activation energy of PP was -126.8 kJ/mol at 70% relative crystallinity but reached -232.8 kJ/mol at 10% relative crystallinity.

The chemical, electrochemical, optical and electro-optical properties of titanium oxyfluoride, TiOF2, have led to interest in this compound for a number of applications. Prior analyses have indicated that TiOF2possesses a simple cubic structure (space groupPm{\overline 3}m) at room temperature. Three-dimensional nanostructured assemblies of polycrystalline TiOF2have recently been synthesizedviachemical conversion of intricate SiO2structures by metathetic reaction with TiF4(g). Rietveld analysis has been used to evaluate the structure of the TiOF2product formed by such reaction at 623 K. Unlike prior reports, this TiOF2product possessed a hexagonal structure (space groupR{\overline 3}c) at room temperature. Upon heating through 333–338 K, the hexagonal TiOF2polymorph converted into cubic (Pm{\overline 3}m) TiOF2. Differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction analyses have been used to evaluate this thermally induced phase transformation.

Polypropylene (PP)/Maleic anhydride grafted poly (ethylene-octene) (POEg) were prepared by melt blending method. The crystallization behavior and crystal morphology were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and polarzing optical microscope (POM). Differential scanning colorimetry (DSC) experiments showed that the melting point and crystallization point decreased when POEg added to the blend. XRD results show that the POEg not change the crystal structure in the blends but only decrease the intensity of the diffraction peak. The spherulitic structure could also observed when added POEg to the matix of PP, but the shape of the spherulites distorted.
