The glasses (80-x)TeO2·xV2O5·20MO (M=Sn, Bi, Ca, Na and K) had been examined as potential replacements for PbO-based glass frits with low firing temperature. The glasses with TeO2 0-44 mol%, and V2O5 39-82 mol% are not suitable for glass frit since they are easy to crystallize. The glasses with the content of the TeO2 54-74 mol%, and the V2O5 9-29 mol% were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectra and fluidity evaluation experiments. The glasses possess appropriate fluidity and do not crystallize in the re-melting process at 723-753 K. The glass transition temperature of the glasses is at 544-578 K. The structure of the glasses is layer upon layer mainly connected by the structure units of [VO4] and [TeO3]. Other modifier ions locate mainly between the layers. The isolated V=O band from the VO5 bipyramids is not occurred in the vitreous structure of the glasses.

AbstractWe present an overview for the basic fundamental of thermal analysis, which is applicable for educational purposes, especially for lecturers at the universities, who may refer to the articles as the references to “teach” or to “lecture” to final year project students or young researchers who are working on their postgraduate projects. Description of basic instrumentation [i.e. differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TGA)] covers from what we should know about the instrument, calibration, baseline and samples’ signal. We also provide the step-by-step guides for the estimation of the glass transition temperature after DSC as well as examples and exercises are included, which are applicable for teaching activities. Glass transition temperature is an important property for commercial application of a polymeric material, e.g. packaging, automotive, etc. TGA is also highlighted where the analysis gives important thermal degradation information of a material to avoid sample decomposition during the DSC measurement. The step-by-step guides of the estimation of the activation energy after TGA based on Hoffman’s Arrhenius-like relationship are also provided.

The influences of Gd concentration on martensitic transformation and magnetic properties of NiMnIn alloys were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) , vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and etc. It is Observed through the experiment: the addition of Gd enhances martensite transition temperature;X-ray diffraction analysis of experimental alloys is revealed that to the mixture is martensite and austenite at room temperature; content of Gd is not proportional to the improvement of magnetic property.

The crystal structures of KOs(NH3)3(ClO4)2Cl2 and KCr(NH3)6(ClO4)2Cl2 were determined at 10 K by X-ray diffraction, and for the osmium salt also at 293 K. At 293 K the osmium salt is trigonal, space group R 3m, with the same simple structure as others of this class of double salt. At 10 K, in agreement with previous radius ratio predictions, both crystals are best described as remaining R 3m. All previously studied members, with larger alkali metal cations, are twinned R 3 at low temperatures, with small, symmetry-breaking rotations of the hexaamminemetal(III) and perchlorate ions about the threefold axis. Differential scanning calorimetry on CsRu(NH3)6(ClO4)2Cl2 suggests that the R 3m to R 3 change is very extended in temperature with only a small discontinuity at the transition temperature.

Abstract Thermodynamic properties of selected honeys: glass transition temperature (Tg), the change in specifi c heat capacity (ΔCp), and enthalpy (ΔH) were analysed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in relation to the composition i.e. water and sugar content. Glass transition temperatures (Tg) of various types of honey differed significantly (p<0.05) and ranged from -49.7°C (polyfloral) to -34.8°C (sunflower). There was a strong correlation between the Tg values and the moisture content in honey (r = -0.94). The degree of crystallisation of the honey also influenced the Tg values. It has been shown that the presence or absence of sugar crystals influenced the glass transition temperature. For the decrystallised honeys, the Tg values were 6 to 11°C lower than for the crystallised honeys. The more crystallised a honey was, the greater the temperature difference was between the decrystallised and crystallized honey. In conclusion, to obtain reliable DSC results, it is crucial to measure the glass transition after the complete liquefaction of honey.

In this study various compositions in the phosphate based glass (PBG) system of (50-x)P2O5-40Ca-(5+x)Na-5TiO2 and (50-x)P2O5-40Ca-(5+x)Na-5Fe2O3, where x= 5 and 10 were investigated for glass transition temperature (Tg) via thermo mechanical analyser (TMA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The amorphous nature of the glasses was confirmed via XRD. The Tg measured via DSC was consistently higher by 19°C-29°C compared to TMA and was due to the thermal history and the heating rate of the samples. The Tg increased with increasing phosphate content in both glass systems. The Tg for Ti containing PBG was found to be in the range of 453°C-500°C whilst Tg for Fe containing PBG was in the range of 449°C-494°C. Consistently higher Tg for the Ti containing glass series compared to the Fe containing glasses may be attributed to the smaller ionic radius and therefore higher field strength of Ti4+.
