定向结晶条件下聚乙二醇6000的强动力学效应

在单向温度场条件下, 采用不同抽拉速度实现了聚乙二醇6000的定向生长、界面形貌的实时观测及界面温度的测量, 进而揭示了其生长机制. 实验结果表明, 随着抽拉速度的增大, 界面的温度逐渐减小, 过冷度逐渐增大. 运用高聚物结晶的次级形核理论模型, 对实验数据进行了计算, 得到在界面过冷度为13.5 K左右时, 生长机制发生了由区域Ⅱ向区域Ⅲ的转变. 实验数据与等温结晶数据的比较发现等温结晶方法中获得过冷度相对较大, 是因为其包含了热过冷. 聚乙二醇6000定向结晶过程中需要的最大动力学过冷度为20 K, 说明由于高聚物的二维形核, 其生长主要由界面动力学控制, 具有较强的动力学效应.

快速加压引起的硒熔体结晶行为

开展了在513,523,533 K温度下硒熔体的快速压致凝固实验,分析了不同保温时间即0,30,60 min对凝固晶体尺寸及形貌的影响.发现随着保温时间的延长,晶粒不断发生聚集生长,晶粒尺寸变大.通过与相同温度、压力条件下非晶硒、超细晶体硒粉等温结晶的样品对比,否定了快压凝固结构为非晶硒、非晶硒晶化为晶体硒的可能性,认为硒熔体快压凝固的结构为晶体硒,在保温过程中晶体颗粒在晶界处可以发生聚集生长.分析发现熔体快速压致凝固法不能得到非晶硒的原因在于实验条件下非晶硒为不稳定相,非晶硒的晶化温度随压力关系在2 GPa前后表现出不同的变化趋势,推测压力对过冷液态硒的微观结构有影响.

Preparation and growth mechanism of micro spherical ammonium dinitramide crystal based on ultrasound-assisted solvent-antisolvent method

Micro-sized spherical ammonium dinitramide (ADN) crystals are successfully prepared by a facile ultrasound-assisted solvent-antisolvent recrystallization method without introducing any additives. The influences of the volume ratio of solvent to antisolvent, the antisolvent temperature and the ultrasound power on the micro-morphologies and properties of ADN crystals are studied systematically. The changes of morphology, particle size, crystal structure and melting point of the ADN crystals are characterized through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), laser particle size analyzer (LPSA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), respectively. The results show that the optimal experimental parameters for the ADN crystal of spherical morphology are as follows: the volume ratio of solvent to antisolvent is 1:50, the antisolvent temperature is 20 ℃, and the ultrasound power is 70 W. The predicted hexagonal-flake and spherical morphologies for the ADN are close to the experimental morphologies. The growth mechanism of the spherical ADN crystal changes with supersaturation of the ADN solution. As the degree of supersaturation increases, the growth models of the spherical ADN change from the spiral growth to the rough growth, and the morphologies of ADN change from the large-sized ADN ball to the small-sized ADN ball.     

Second harmonic chalcone crystal: Synthesis, growth and characterization

The novel nonlinear optical chalcone derivative (2E)-3-[4-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl]-1-(3-bromophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (3Br4MSP) crystals have been grown by slow evaporation technique at ambient temperature. The crystal was subjected to different types of characterization method in order to study its possible application in nonlinear optics. The structure determination of the grown crystal was done by single crystal X-ray diffraction study. The morphology of the crystal is studied. The crystal was subjected to thermal analysis to find its thermal stability. The grown crystals were characterized for their optical transmission and mechanical hardness. The second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of the crystal is obtained by classical powdered technique. The laser damage threshold for 3Br4MSP crystal was determined using Q-switched Nd:YAG laser.     

Crystallization and Melting Behavior of Monodisperse Oligomers of ϵ-Caprolactone

Monodisperse ?-caprolactone (CL) oligomers with different end groups (t-butyldimethylsilyl, benzyl, hydroxyl, and carboxylic acid) and different numbers of repeating units (4–64) have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) in order to gather information regarding the melting temperature, long period, and melting enthalpy. Oligomers crystallized at their maximum temperatures (different for the different oligomers) to full crystallinity yielded extended-chain crystals for oligomers with 4, 8, and 16 repeating units with the important exception of the oligomers with four and eight repeating units and hydroxyl and benzyl end groups that showed double-layer crystals. Oligomers with 32 and 64 repeating units exhibited remarkably stable once-folded (32-mer) and thrice-folded (64-mer) crystals. Only the oligomer with 16 repeating units showed two crystallization temperature regimes resulting in once-folded crystals (low temperatures) and extended-chain crystals (high temperatures). The end groups had a profound effect on the structures. Hydrogen-bonding groups promoted the formation of crystal bilayers and led to a very high melting enthalpy (150 J g^?1) exceeding the melting enthalpy of 100% crystalline poly (?-caprolactone). The bulky end groups, in particular t-butyldimethylsilyl, reduced the crystallinity and favored chain tilting and probably preventing the unfolding of crystal stems in the oligomers with 32 and 64 repeating units. Melting temperatures of mature crystals obeyed a linear relationship with inverse CL stem length. The intercept (equilibrium melting temperature) was in the range of 350 to 357 K.     

Setting angle of molecular chains in polyethylene crystals

The setting angles of chains in solution-grown crystals of paraffins were measured from optical transforms of their electron diffraction patterns. Those of solution-grown, melt-crystallized, and drawn polyethylenes were determined by the x-ray diffraction method. The cell dimensions, paracrystalline disorder, and thickness and size of crystallites of these specimens were measured. From these data, factors increasing the setting angle were found as follows; (1) folding of molecular chains, (2) imperfections of crystal lattice, (3) expansion of cell dimensions and (4) smallness of thickness and lateral size of crystallites. The temperature dependence of the setting angle is also discussed; the higher the temperature, the larger the setting angle. At low temperatures, the setting angle also increases, and the values are compared with those predicted theoretically from the minimization of lattice energy. The temperature dependence of the setting angle is interpreted in terms of a conformational change of the stem segments in the crystalline core.     

Growth,structural, spectral,optical and electrical properties of 2-aminophenol single crystals

Good quality single crystals of 2-aminophenol were grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique at room temperature. Crystal structure and crystalline nature was determined by X-ray diffraction studies. Prescence of functional groups in the crystal was confirmed by FT-IR analysis. UV transmittance study shows the large transmittance in the entire visible region. Dielectric constant and loss for the crystals were taken at different tempeature. Photoconductivity study exhibits positive nature of the grown crytal. DC conductivity studies were also carried out for the grown crystal.     

Growth, structural, spectral, mechanical and dielectric characterization of RbCl-doped l-alanine hydrogen chloride monohydrate single crystals

Pure (undoped) and RbCl-doped LAHC single crystals were grown successfully by the solution method with the slow evaporation technique at room temperature. The grown crystals were colourless and transparent. The solubility of the grown samples were found out at various temperatures. The lattice parameters of the grown crystals were determined by the single crystal X-ray diffraction technique and the diffracting planes were indentified by recording the powder X-ray diffraction pattern. UV-visible transmittance studies were carried out for the grown samples. Chemical analysis and atomic absorption studies indicate the presence of rubidium in the doped LAHC crystals. Nonlinear optical studies reveal that the SHG efficiency increases when the LAHC crystal is doped with rubidium chloride (RbCl). From microhardness studies, it is observed that the RbCl-doped LAHC crystal is harder than the pure sample. It is observed that the dielectric properties of the LAHC crystal are altered when it is doped with rubidium chloride.
