Effects of filler size and heat treatment on the crystallization behavior of glass bead‐filled polypropylene

The effects of glass bead (GB) size and annealing temperature on the formation of β‐crystals of glass bead‐filled polypropylene (PP) are studied in this articles. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements indicated that the amount of β‐form in PP crystals was a function of the glass bead content and size. For a fixed glass bead content, it was found that the smaller the diameter of the glass bead, the higher was the content of β‐crystals formed in the PP. On the other hand, wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD) measurements revealed that the annealing temperature was also a major factor that affected the crystallization behavior of glass bead‐filled PP. It seemed that the blends with different glass bead contents had their own optimal annealing temperatures for β‐crystal formation. As an example, when the glass bead content was 48 wt %, the optimal annealing temperature for β‐crystal formation was about 108 °C, whereas it shifted to 100 °C for 14 wt % glass bead‐filled polypropylene. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

NUMERICAL CONSTRAINTS ON TRACE ELEMENT RATIOS DURING FRACTIONAL CRYSTALLIZATION OF IGNEOUS SYSTEM

The constraints on the variation in the ratios of pairs of trace elements during crystal fractionation are described by using a set of inequality functions. This approach to the interpretation of the variation in trace element ratios provides a more thorough basis for describing the quantitative relationships between the variation of trace element ratios during the fractional crystallization, the difference of the bulk distribution coefficients of the two elements and the degree of fractionation. The constraints imposed by the inequalities lead to certain consequences on the variation in the ratios of pairs of trace elements during crystal fractionation. For these consequences not yet recognized in literature detailed explanation will be given in the present paper.     

Understanding the effect of skin formation on the removal of solvents from semicrystalline polymers

The effect of glassy skin formation on the drying of semicrystalline polymers was investigated with a comprehensive mathematical model developed for multicomponent systems. Polymers with high glass‐transition temperatures can become rubbery at room temperature under the influence of solvents. As the solvents are removed from the polymer, a glassy skin can form and continue to develop. The model takes into account the effects of diffusion‐induced polymer crystallization as well as glassy–rubbery transitions on the overall solvent content and polymer crystallinity. A Vrentas–Duda free‐volume‐based diffusion scheme and crystallization kinetics were used in our model. The polymer–solvent system chosen was a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)–water–methanol system. The drying kinetics of PVA films were obtained by gravimetric methods with swollen films with known water/methanol concentrations. The overall drying behaviors of the polymer system determined by our model and experimental methods were compared and found to match well. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Modification of Properties of Fe28Ni50Si9B13 Metallic Glass During Heat Treatment

The crystallization process of the metallic glass Fe₂₈Ni₅₀Si₉B₁₃ was investigated by DSC, Hall effect, electrical resistivity, and X-ray diffraction methods. It proceeds in two stages. Ni phase is formed at the temperature of 723 K and Ni₃B phase at 773 K. The phase creation is accompanied by an abrupt decrease of the Hall and electrical resistivities and the spontaneous Hall coefficient.     

Dynamic Ni gettered by PSG from S-MIC poly-Si and its TFTs

A dynamic phosphor-silicate glass （PSG） gettering method is proposed in which the processes of the gettering of Ni by PSC and the crystallizing of α-Si into poly-Si by Ni take place simultaneously. The effects of PSC gettering process on the performances of solution-based metal induced crystallized （S-MIC） poly-Si materials and their thin film transistors （TFTs） are discussed. The crystallization rate is much reduced due to the fact that the Ni as a medium source of crystallization is extracted by the PSC during crystallization at the same time. The boundary between two neighbouring grains in S-MIC poly-Si with PSG looks blurrier than without PSG. Compared with the TFTs made from S-MIC poly-Si without PSC gettering, the TFTs made with PSC gettering has a reduced gate induced leakage current.

Aspects of crystallization fouling

Crystallization fouling or scale formation is temperature dependent, and a degree of supersaturation is required before precipitation occurs. In general, a nucleus is necessary around which crystals can form. The mechanism of crystallization on surfaces is complex, and it is difficult to explain in mathematical terms, although attempts have been made. The paper concludes with a brief review of scale formation under boiling conditions and the deposition of wax crystals from organic liquids.
