Thermal coefficient of linear expansion of non-crystalline chalcogenides in the As-S-Se-Te-I system

The object of the paper is an investigation of the glasses of the (As₂S₃)_x(AsSe_0.5Te_0.5I)_100-x. type for 65≤;x≤;95, using methods of thermomechanical analysis. Values of the thermal coefficients of linear expansion in solid and visco-plastic phase were determined. it was shown that introducing arsenic-sulfide in glass-matrix AsChI, i.e. (AsSe_0.5Te_0.5I), leads to an increasing stability of these glasses. The characteristic temperatures of softening Tg and the temperature of the beginning of deformation t_w increase by increasing content of As₂S₃. The analytical forms of dependence of four significant physical values α_g, α_l, Tg, Tw, as a function of As₂S₃ content in the structure of glasses were fitted. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

聚乙二醇作造孔剂制备大孔溶胶凝胶生物活性玻璃

Two kinds of macroporous bioglasses were prepared via sol suspension and precipitate using Polyethylene Glycol particles as pore former. The samples were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), BET, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Intrusion Mercury Porosimetry, mechanical strength test and in vitro bioactivity test. These glasses exhibited a hierarchical structure with interconnected macropores (10～300 μm) and mesopores (2～50 nm) framework. In vitro tests showed that the samples had excellent bioactivity. The samples derived from precipitate showed better macroporous structure and much higher mechanical strength.

On the effect of montmorillonite in the curing reaction of epoxy nanocomposites

The procedure for the fabrication of epoxy-based polymer layered silicate nanocomposites is important in respect of the nanostructure that is developed. To further our understanding of this, the influence of an organically modified clay (montmorillonite, MMT) on the curing kinetics of an epoxy resin has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry. Clay loadings of 10 and 20 mass% are used, and isothermal as well as dynamic cures have been investigated. For both cure schedules the effect of the MMT is to advance the reaction. Kinetic analysis yields values for the activation energy, but shows that the reaction cannot be described simply by the usual autocatalytic equation. The glass transition of the cured nanocomposites is lower than that for the cured neat resin, a result that is attributed to homopolymerisation taking place in addition to the epoxy–amine reaction.

Evolution of Er^3＋ Distribution in the Oxyfluoride Glass Ceramics with Heating

The distribution characteristics of Er3+ ions doped in the oxyfluoride glass ceramics containing LaF3 nanocrystals heat-treated at 650 ℃ for different durations were investigated. The results of the integral absorption cross-section analysis demonstrated that the partition fraction of Er3+ in LaF3 nanocrystals increases with prolonging of heating time. The anomalous phenomena of Er3+ emissions in the up-and the down-conversion fluorescence spectra are well explained based on the calculated results.

Kinetics of thermoset cure and polymerization in the glass transition region

A theoretical approach to thermoset cure kinetics based on Arrhenius kinetics and mobility was developed by considering the activation of the reacting group and chain mobility as elementary steps for reaction. This extended kinetic equation was successfully applied to the curing of an epoxy by an amine, the trimerization of a cyanate, and to the polymerization of methyl methacrylate. Full agreement between theory and experimental data was obtained in all cases. The activation energies for chain mobility were exceptionally low (0.3–1 kJ/mol for bisphenol-A-based epoxy and cyanate) which indicates that the structural units must undergo only small-angle rotational oscillations to allow a reaction. A theoretical time–temperature–transformation (TTT) diagram is also presented. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Thermal analysis of vinyl siding

Vinyl siding is typically produced by co-extruding a capstock (surface layer) over a PVC substrate formulation. The capstock is often non-PVC, these systems can result in warpage during or after production. In our study we will show that this warpage can result from an interfacial induced stress related to the mismatch between the glass transition of the substrate and the capstock. Additionally, both TMA and TMDSC were used to probe the stress release. Capstock formulations which better match the glass transition of the PVC substrate result in superior performance.
