The present work aims to provide insights on recent findings indicating the presence of multiple equilibration mechanisms in physical aging of glasses. To this aim, we have investigated a glass forming polyether, poly(1-4 cyclohexane di-methanol) (PCDM), by following the evolution of the enthalpic state during physical aging by fast scanning calorimetry (FSC). The main results of our study indicate that physical aging persists at temperatures way below the glass transition temperature and, in a narrow temperature range, is characterized by a two steps evolution of the enthalpic state. Altogether, our results indicate that the simple old-standing view of physical aging as triggered by the α relaxation does not hold true when aging is carried out deep in the glassy state.

The existence of a glassy state in isolated tomato fruit cuticles was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry. Tomato fruit cuticular membranes showed a glass transition temperature at -30 °C and an additional second order transition temperature near 30 °C. Changes in these temperatures during fruit growth were also studied

AbstractIodide glasses presently being investigated suffer from their poor glass forming abilities, thermal instabilities and general lack of chemical durability. Glasses in the Cd-As-I and Cd-As-Ge-I systems are investigated in this study for the purpose of developing water-resistant, thermally stable iodide glasses and optical fibers. Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) showed that glasses in these systems have glass transition temperature(Tg) values above 300°C. Devitrification of glasses during cooling and reheating can be suppressed by incorporating small amount of Ge atoms into ternary Cd-As-I glasses. They are transparent up to 14μm in the infrared region with excellent durability against liquid water at 90°C.

The main purpose of the contribution presented here is the study of the glassy state and the presence of crystals in hard candies. Hard candies are non-chocolate sweets usually made of sucrose and glucose or of maltose syrup. They can also be made of alditols, used in sugar-free hard candies. In hard candies, carbohydrates or alditols are in amorphous state. Crystallisation in the glassy state of hard candies occurs as a result of a bad formulation, processing or storage and can be detrimental to the product quality. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to determine the glass transition temperature T<sub>g</sub> and the amount of crystals. Polarising microscopy was used to show the undesirable presence of crystals in samples of hard candies. The carbohydrates composition of the samples was determined by HPLC and the moisture content in each sample was evaluated by Karl Fisher method. &nbsp;

The Relationship

AbstractThis work presents studies concerning the relationship between reduction of glass transition temperatureTrgand the glass-forming ability of FeCoB-based alloys. On the basis of theoretical considerations, Turnbull [1] determined the reduced glass transition temperature (Tg/Tl) as being 2/3 of the Vogel–Fulcher–Tammann (VFT) temperature; since then, continuous research has been carried out, aiming to calculate the Trg parameter and describe its relationship with glass-forming ability. In the majority of research papers, the reduced glass transition temperature is calculated from the relationshipTg/Tm, proposed by Uhlmann and Davies [2, 3]. On the basis of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies, undertaken in this current work, the values of the following temperatures have been found:Tg,Tx, Tmand Tl, in addition to the temperature ranges:ΔTx,ΔTmandΔTl. The correlation between:Tg/Tm,Tg/Tland the glass-forming ability also has been discussed. Finally, for the investigated alloys, it has been found that the relationship proposed by Turnbull is reliable over a wide range ofΔTm.

In the present research work melt quenching method has been adopted to prepare the glassy Te-rich (Te90Se10) and Se-rich (Se90Te10 ) Chalcogenide at a pressure of 10-2 Torr with constant Temperature at 1000°C for 8 hours. Devitrification characteristics of the pure glassy Chalcogenide Te90Se10 and Se90Te90 were investigated by using Differential scanning Calorimetry (DSC) 4000 Perkin Elmer. All the measurements carried out at fixed heating rate 10 0C/min under non-isothermal conditions. The Glass transition temperature (Tg) and other thermal properties were examined by temperature modulated differential scanning Calorimetry at 40 oC to 445 oC. Glass transition temperature (Tg) represents the strength or rigidity of the glass structure. Tg affords valuable information on the thermal stability of the glassy state but Tg alone does not give any information on the glass forming tendency. The difference of the Peak crystallization temperature (Tp) and Glass transition temperature (Tg) is a strong indication of the thermal stability. The higher the value of Tc and Tg the greater is the thermal stability. Glass transition temperature (Tg=2160C) of Tellurium rich (Te90Se10) is more than Glass transition temperature (Tg=730C) of Selenium rich (Se90Te90) due to semi metallic nature of Tellurium. The difference of (Tp-Tg) is a strong indicator of both the thermal stability and Glass forming ability (GFA). Higher the value of (Tp-Tg), higher is the thermal stability and GFA because higher values of this difference indicate more kinetic resistance to the crystallization. Glass forming ability (GFA) and thermal stability of Te90Se10 is greater than Se90Te90. For memory and switching materials, glass thermal stability and GFA parameters are very important. Intensity of Se-rich (Se90Te10) is more than Te-rich (Te90Se10) and both samples are polycrystalline in nature.

AbstractDifferent bulk glass forming alloys in the neighborhood of Zr52.5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10Ti5 (Vit105) have been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). Along the Ti/Al line in composition space, Zr52.5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10−xTi5+x with – ≤ x ≤ +2.5, the glass transition temperature, Tg, and the undercooled liquid regime (the difference between the first crystallization temperature and the glass transition temperature) continually decrease with increasing x. SANS measurements of annealed alloys show interference maxima, giving evidence for decomposition on the nanometer scale, up to a critical temperature Tc. In contrast to Tg, Tc increases with x and thus intercepts with Tg in the range –2.5 ≤ x ≤ –1.25, depending on the time scale of the experiment. At this composi- tion, significant changes in DSC traces and XRD patterns are observed. Additional isothermal DSC experiments show that the onset times for crystallization are significantly different for temperatures below and above Tc. We conclude that Tc, respectively the relation between Tc and Tg, determines the crystallization behavior and the thermal stability of these bulk metallic glasses.
