In order to meet the new requirement of polyamide materials on the thermal behavior, the aromatic rings were introduced into the main chain to synthesize semi-aromatic polyamide. In this paper, the non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of semi-aromatic polyamide was studied with Mo method. It was found that the crystallization rate slowed down with the increase of crystallinity. Spinning experiments showed that the semi-aromatic polyamide fibers could be prepared by melt spinning. Heat treatment can improve the mechanical properties of the as spun fibers obviously. Considering the impact on the mechanical properties, heat treatment time under 60 min was optimum.

The non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of Mg61Zn35Ca4 glassy alloy prepared via melt-spinning were studied by using isoconversion method. The crystalline characterization of Mg61Zn35Ca4 was examined by X-ray diffraction. Different scanning calorimeter was used to investigate the non-isothermal crystallization kinetics at different heating rates (3-60 K/min). The calculated value of Avrami exponent obtained by Matusita method indicated that the crystalline transformation for Mg61Zn35Ca4 is a complex process of nucleation and growth. The Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose method was used to investigate the activation energy. The activation energy of crystallization varies with the extent of crystallization and hence with temperature. The Sestak-Berggren model was used to describe the non-isothermal crystallization kinetics.

A kind of semi-aromatic polyamide, poly(dodecamethylene terephthalamide) (PA12T) was synthesized via a three-step reaction of terephthalic acid and 1,12-dodecanediamine. The structure of the prepared PA12T was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR). The thermal behaviour of PA12T was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Melting temperature (Tm), glass transition temperature (Tg) and decomposition temperature (Td) of PA12T are 311°C, 144°C and 429°C, respectively. Isothermal crystallization kinetics of PA12T have been investigated in the temperature range of 270-280°C using DSC. The activation energies (ΔE) were determined to be -170.4 kJ/mol for the isothermal crystallization processes by the Arrhenius’ methods.

In this work, the crystallization kinetics of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) matrix included with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) grafted silica (PEG-g-SiO2) nanoparticles and bare SiO2 were systematically investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized light optical microscopy (PLOM) method. PEG-g-SiO2 can significantly increase the crystallinity and crystallization temperature of PEO matrix under the non-isothermal crystallization process. Pronounced effects of PEG-g-SiO2 on the crystalline morphology and crystallization rate of PEO were further characterized by employing spherulitic morphological observation and isothermal crystallization kinetics analysis. In contrast to the bare SiO2, PEG-g-SiO2 can be well dispersed in PEO matrix at low P/N (P: Molecular weight of matrix chains, N: Molecular weight of grafted chains), which is a key factor to enhance the primary nucleation rate. In particular, we found that the addition of PEG-g-SiO2 slows the spherulitic growth fronts compared to the neat PEO. It is speculated that the interfacial structure of the grafted PEG plays a key role in the formation of nuclei sites, thus ultimately determines the crystallization behavior of PEO PNCs and enhances the overall crystallization rate of the PEO nanocomposites.

AbstractThe effect of aging heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 10Cr20Ni25Mo1.5NbN austenitic steel was investigated in this article. The microstructure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry and transmission electron microscopy. Results show that the microstructure of 10Cr20Ni25Mo1.5NbN austenitic is composed of austenite. This steel was strengthened by precipitates of secondary phases that were mainly M23C6 carbides and NbCrN nitrides. As aging treatment time increased, the tensile strength first rose (0–3,000 h) and then fell (3,000–5,000 h) due to the decrease of high density of dislocations. The impact absorbed energy decreased sharply, causing the sulfides to precipitate at the grain boundary. Therefore, the content of sulfur should be strictly controlled in the steelmaking process.
