The non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of the MgO–Al2O3–SiO2 (MAS) glasses were analyzed with the Kissinger equation and the Augis-Bennett equation by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that two crystal phases of spinel (MgAl2O4) and SiO2 were generated sequentially in the heat treatment process. When the spinel was the only crystal phase, the MAS glass-ceramic was transparent. For glass A (containing one type alkali metal Na2O), the corresponding activation energy was Ep1(A)=325.27kJ/mol, Ep2(A)=364.99kJ/mol; for glass B (containing Na2O and K2O) , the activation energy is Ep1(B)=233.79kJ/mol, Ep2(B)=273.85kJ /mol. The average crystallization index for spinel crystal phase was nA1=1.99, nB1=2.58, By adding K+, which suggested that the spinel crystal phase precipitation have the trend to change from two-dimensional pattern to bulk crystallization.

Crystallization kinetics of K2O?TiO2?3GeO2 glass was investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA). Experiments were performed on powder samples with a particle size < 0.037 mm. The glass samples were heated at different rates in the temperature range 20-750?C. The kinetic parameters, activation energy for the crystallization process, Ec and Avrami exponent, n were calculated. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) of crystallized glass reveals the presence of crystalline K2O?TiO2?3GeO2 indicating polymorphic crystallization with interface controlled crystal growth.

The crystallization kinetics of Sr0.7Bi2.3Ta2O9 (SBT) and 0.7SrBi2Ta2O9–0.3Bi3TiTaO9 (SBT-BTT) thin films formed by the sol-gel and spin coating techniques were studied. Phase formation and crystal growth are greatly affected by the film composition and crystallization temperature. Isothermal kinetic analysis was performed on the x-ray diffraction results of the thin films heated in the range of 730 to 760 °C at 10 °C intervals. Activation energy and Avrami exponent values were determined for the fluorite-to-Aurivillus phase transformation. A reduction of approximately 51 kJ/mol in activation energy was observed for the SBT-BTT thin films, and an Avrami exponent value of approximately 1.0 was obtained for both the SBT and SBT-BTT. A comparison is made, and the possible crystallization mechanism is discussed.

ABSTRACTTransparent optical ZnO–Bi2O3–B2O3 (ZBB) glass-ceramics were created by the melt quenching technique. In this work, a melt of the glass containing stoichiometric ratios of Zn/Bi/B and As was studied. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) measurements was used to measure the thermal behavior. VIS/NIR transmission measurements were used to determine the transmission window. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to determine crystal phase. In this study, we explore new techniques and report a detailed study of in-situ XRD of the ZBB composition in order to correlate nucleation temperature, heat treatment temperature, and heat treatment duration with induced crystal phase.

The melt intercalation method was employed to prepare poly(butylene terepathalate)/montmorillonite nanocomposites, and their microstructure was characterized by wide angle X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The XRD results showed that the crystalline plane such as (010), (111), (100) was smaller than that of pristine PBT, which indicates that the crystallite size of PBT in the nanocomposites could be diminished by adding clay. Moreover, the isothermal crystallization kinetics of PBT and PBT/MMT nanocomposites was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). During isothermal crystallization, the development of crystallinity with time was analysed by the Avrami equation. The results show that very small amounts of clay dramatically increased the rate of crystallization and high clay concentrations reduced the rate of crystallization at the low crystallization temperatures. At low concentrations of clay, the distance between dispersed platelets was large so it was relatively easy for the additional nucleation sites to incorporate surrounding polymer, and the crystal nucleus was formatted easily. However, at high concentrations of clay, the diffusion of polymer chains to the growing crystallites was hindered by large clay particles, despite the formation of additional nucleation sites by the clay layers. At the higher crystallization temperature, the crystallization of the nanocomposites was slower than that of the pure PBT under the experimental conditions, which means that with the increase in chains mobility at the high crystallization temperature, the crystal nuclei are harder to format, and the hindering effect of clay particles on the polymer chains was stronger than the nucleating effect of the layers. In addition, the activation energies of crystallization for PBT and its nanocomposites were calculated by the Arrhenius relationship, and the results showed that the nanocomposites with a low clay content had the lower activation energy values than PBT, while high amounts of clay increased the activation energy of PBT.

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.

In order to optimize the current reduction process of chromite, a good knowledge of reduction mechanism involved is required. The basic component in chromite ore is FeCr2O4, thus, kinetic investigation of synthetic FeCr2O4 with different amount of carbon were carried out in the temperature range of 1473K to 1673K under both isothermal and non-isothermal mode. The iron can be easily reduced compared with chromium. And higher reduction degree of chromite can be achieved by increasing temperature and carbon content. With the supporting of X-ray Diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscope methods, the formation of metallic products followed the sequence: Fe-C alloy, (Fe,Cr)7C3and Fe-Cr-C alloy. Kinetics analysis showed that the first stage was controlled by nucleation with an apparent activation energy of 120kJ/mol, while the chromium reduction was controlled by crystallochemical transformation with an apparent activation energy of 288kJ/mol.
