Tert-butyl peroxide (TBPO), is a typical organic peroxides (OPs),which is widely applied as initiator in poly-glycidyl methacrylate (PGMA) reaction, and is employed to provide a free-radical in frontal polymerization, and which has also caused many thermal runaway reactions and explosions worldwide. To find an unknown and insufficient hazard information for an energetic material, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and vent sizing package 2 (VSP2) were employed to detect the fundamental thermokinetic parameters involving the exothermic onset temperature (T0), heat of decomposition (??Hd), temperature rise rate (dT · dt?1), time to maximum rate under adiabatic situation (TMRad), pressure rise rate (dP · dt?1), and maximum pressure (Pmax), etc. The T0 was calculated to be 130?°C using DSC and VSP2. Activation energy (Ea) of TBPO was evaluated to be 136?kJ?mol?1 by VSP2. In view of the loss prevention, calorimetric applications and model evaluation to integrate thermal hazard development are adequate means for inherently safer design. 相似文献
Nonisothermal crystallization kinetics and melting behavior of bimodal-medium-density- polyethylene (BMDPE) and the blends of BMDPE/LDPE were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at various scanning rates. The Avrami analysis modified by Jeziorny and a method developed by Mo were employed to describe the nonisothermal crystallization process of BMDPE. The BMDPE DSC data were analyzed by the theory of Ozawa. Kinetic parameters such as the Avrami exponent (n), the kinetic crystallization rate constant (Zc), the peak temperatures (Tp) and the half-time of crystallization (t1/2) etc. were determined at various scanning rates. The appearance of double melting peaks and the double crystallization peaks in the heating and cooling DSC curves of BMDPE/LDPE blends indicated that the BMDPE and LDPE could crystallize respectively. 相似文献
The melting behavior and the crystallization kinetics of poly(dithiotriethylene adipate) (PSSTEA) were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and hot-stage optical microscopy. The observed multiple endotherms, commonly displayed by polyesters, were influenced by the crystallization temperature (Tc) and ascribed to melting and recrystallization processes. Linear and nonlinear theoretical treatments were applied to estimate the equilibrium melting temperature for PSSTEA, using the corrected values of the melting temperature; the nonlinear estimation yielded a higher value by about 15 °C. Isothermal crystallization kinetics were analyzed according to the Avrami’s theory. Values of the Avrami’s exponent n close to 3 were obtained, independently of Tc, in agreement with a crystallization process originating from predeterminated nuclei and characterized by three-dimensional spherulitic growth. As a matter of fact, space-filling spherulites were observed by optical microscopy at all Tc’s. The rate of crystallization became lower as Tc increased, as usual at low undercooling, the crystallization process being controlled by nucleation. 相似文献
Non-isothermal crystallization of polyethylene (PE) blends with bimodal molecular weight distribution (MWD) was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at various scanning rates. The bimodal PE blends were prepared by blending two unimodal polyethylenes with large difference in molecular weigh in different ratio in xylene solution. Different kinetic parameters such as the half-time of crystallization (t1/2), crystallization rate constant (Zc), F(T) and the effective activation energy were determined. Some complicated relationships between these parameters and the average molecular weight were found. The crystallization rate first increased and reached a maximum then decreased, and also correlated with the MWD. The Avrami index under non-isothermal conditions was analyzed with a method developed by Harnisch and Muschik; the results indicated that homogeneous nucleation and spherulitic growth regimes were present in all samples studied. 相似文献
In view of availability, accountability, and applicability, LiFePO4 cathode material has been confirmed to be better than LiCoO2 cathode material. Nevertheless, few related researches were conducted for thermal runaway reaction of the LiFePO4 batteries. In this study, vent sizing package 2 (VSP2) and differential scanning calorimetry were employed to observe the thermal hazard of 18650 lithium-ion batteries and their content??LiFePO4 cathode material, which were manufactured by Commercial Battery, Inc. Two states of the batteries were investigated, which was charged to 3.6?V (fully charged) and 4.2?V (overcharged), respectively, and important parameters were obtained, such as self-heating rate (dT?dt?1), pressure-rise rate (dP?dt?1), and exothermic onset temperature (T0). The results showed that T0 for fully charged is about 199.94?°C and Tmax is about 243.23?°C. The entire battery for LiFePO4 cathode material is more stable than other lithium-ion batteries, and an entire battery is more dangerous than a single cathode material. For process loss prevention, the data of battery of VSP2 test were applied as reference for design of safer devices. 相似文献
A spray pyrolysis of a water solution of iron, manganese and iron nitrates is applied to prepare Zn0.5Mn0.5Fe2O4 single-phase ferrite with a spinel-type structure. The samples are characterized by means of differential scanning calorimetry, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, infrared and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. The mass magnetization σ and the magnetic susceptibility 1/χ of the ferrites are measured as a function of temperature over the range of 78–728 K. The obtained sample contains nanoparticles with an average diameter d ∼7 nm possessing MnxZnyFe3−(x+y)O4 spinel-type structure with a uniform distribution of manganese and zinc atoms over the ferrite lattice. The Curie temperature is determined to be 375 ÷ 380 K. 相似文献
A thermogravimetric study of hysteresis in the TbOxO2 system has provided insight into phase transitions occurring among the fluorite-related rare earth oxides. A series of isobaric scanning loops at 380 Torr have been made. The scans were between TbO1.5(?) and TbO1.714(ι) at higher temperatures and between TbO1.714(ι) and TbO1.818(δ) at lower temperatures. Corresponding isobaric studies were made utilizing high temperature X-ray powder diffraction to augment the TGA experiments.It was confirmed that sections of the lower temperature loop were dependent on the rate of temperature change while the higher temperature loop was entirely reproducible. Interior scanning loops made within the lower hysteresis loop showed univariant behavior typical of a single phase when reversed in the δ′δ pseudophase region, otherwise it exhibited bivariant behavior. The upper hysteresis loop showed bivariant behavior throughout the interior of the loop. Some thermodynamic aspects and the microdomain concept as applied to hysteresis are also considered. 相似文献

The equation proposed by S?esták and Berggren was applied to the dehydration of Mn(HCO2)2· 2H2O as studied by differential scanning calorimetry. Systematic variation of the parameters m, n, and p and linear least-squares analysis of the Arrhenius plot resulting from each equation were accomplished with a computer program. The method was found to be successful for preliminary appraisal of reaction mechanism or as a means of checking isothermal results. The problem of finding a suitable fraction of reaction, α, over which any particular rate law is valid, is somewhat circumvented by the ease with which multiple runs may be made with various α ranges. The possible rate expressions found for Mn(HCO2)2·2H2O using the S?esták-Berggren equation include those reported in the literature for 0.15 ? α ? 0.45, and activation energies for interfacial advance agree with those obtained in previous studies. 相似文献
Isothermal crystallisation of high density polyethylene (HDPE) blends and their parent polymers was investigated. The blends having broad bimodal molar mass distributions and various compositions were prepared by blending a high molar mass (Mw=330 kg/mol, Mw/Mn=4.8) and a low molar mass HDPE (Mw=34 kg/mol, Mw/Mn=10) in different ratios in xylene solution. The blends and their parent components were characterised by size-exclusion chromatography, dynamic rheological and density measurements. Crystallisation kinetics were studied using a polarised light microscope equipped with an in-house built hot stage and by differential scanning calorimetry. The Avrami theory was applied for crystallisation kinetics analysis. Such crystallisation kinetics parameters as nucleation rate, nucleation density, the Avrami index and cystallisation rate contant were determined for the blends and their parent polymers.According to the results obtained an increasing polydispersity of the sample had a slight increasing effect on the Avrami index, indicating gain in prevalence of the thermal nucleation over the athermal one. In all samples nucleation density increased continuously during crystallisation verifying that the presence of a certain thermal nucleation was typical for all the materials studied. Both the crystallisation rate constant and the nucleation rate decreased with increasing molar mass of the sample. The nucleation density increased proportionally to the increase in average molar mass and the values were larger at lower crystallisation temperatures.The formed supermolecular structure was found to be sensitive to the blend composition and crystallisation temperature. Irregular banded or non-banded spherulites were observed in the materials. Banding of spherulites was typical for the samples having higher average molar mass. The superstructures observed in this work were smaller and vaguer than the superstructures reported in the earlier studies of polyethylene materials having similar average molar mass but narrow molar mass distribution. 相似文献
The isothermal crystallization kinetics and melting behavior of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) in binary blends with poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) was investigated as a function of PCL molecular mass by differential scanning calorimetry and optical microscopy. The components are miscible in the melt when oligomeric PCL (Mw = 1250) is blended with PBT, whereas only partial miscibility was found in mixtures with higher molecular mass (Mw = 10,000 and 50,000). The equilibrium melting point of PBT in the homopolymer and in blends with PCL was determined through a non-linear extrapolation of the Tm = f(Tc) curve. The PBT spherulitic growth rate and bulk crystallization rate were found to increase with respect to plain PBT in blends with PCL1250 and PCL10000, whereas addition of PCL50000 causes a reduction of PBT solidification rate. The crystallization induction times were determined by differential scanning calorimetry for all the mixtures through a blank subtraction procedure that allows precise estimation of the crystallization kinetics of fast crystallizing polymers. The results have been discussed on the basis of the Hoffman-Lauritzen crystallization theory and considerations on both the transport of chains towards the crystalline growth front and the energy barrier for the formation of critical nuclei in miscible and partially miscible PBT/PCL mixtures are widely debated. 相似文献
The copper(II) oxalate was synthesized, characterized using FT-IR and scanning electron microscopy and its non-isothermal decomposition was studied by differential scanning calorimetric at different heating rates. The kinetics of the thermal decomposition was investigated using different isoconversional and maximum rate (peak) methods viz. Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS), Tang, Starink1.95, Starink1.92, Flynn–Wall–Ozawa (FWO) and Bosewell. The activation energy values obtained from isoconversional methods of FWO and Bosewell are 0.9 and 3.0 %, respectively, higher than that obtained from other methods. The variation of activation energy, Eα with conversion function, α, established using these different methods were found to be similar. Compared to the FWO method, the KAS method offers a significant improvement in the accuracy of the Ea values. All but the Bosewell maximum rate (peak) methods yielded consistent values of Eα (~137 kJ mol?1); however, the complexity of the thermal decomposition reaction can be identified only through isoconversional methods. 相似文献
The properties of the low molecular weight polyhydroxybutyrate (LMWPHB) and LMWPHB plasticized polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) are studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis, wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), polarized optical microscope (POM), mechanical, and biodegradation tests. The results of DSC, WAXD, and POM indicate that LMWPHB has a lower glass transition temperature (Tg), crystallinity, crystallization rate, melting temperature (Tm), and crystal size than PHB due to its much smaller molecular weight. The tensile strength, Tg, Tm, crystallinity, crystallization rate, and thermal stability of LMWPHB plasticized PHB decrease, while the flexibility and biodegradation rate increase with the increasing content of the added LMWPHB. It is confirmed that LMWPHB can be used to improve the brittleness and control the biodegradation rate of PHB. 相似文献
The amino acid ionic liquids (AAILs) [C3mim][Gly] (1-propyl-3-methylimidazolium glycine) and [C4mim][Gly] (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium glycine) have been prepared by the neutralization method and characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The values of their density, surface tension and refractive index were measured at different temperatures. Since the AAILs can form strong hydrogen bonds with water, small amounts of water are difficult to remove from the AAILs by common methods. In order to eliminate the effect of the impurity as water, the standard addition method (SAM) was applied to these measurements. The values of thermal expansion coefficients, α, surface excess energy, Ea, surface excess entropy, Sa, and molar refraction, Rm, for the AAILs were determined. 相似文献
Plenty of thermal explosions and runaway reactions of cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) were described from 1981 to 2010 in Taiwan. Therefore, a thermal explosion accident of CHP in oxidation tower in 2010 in Taiwan was investigated because of piping breakage. In general, high concentration of CHP for thermal analysis using the calorimeter is dangerous. Therefore, a simulation method and a kinetic parameter were used to simulate thermal hazard of high concentrations of CHP only by the researcher. This study was applied to evaluate thermal hazard and to analyze storage parameters of 80 and 88 mass% CHP using three calorimeters for the oxidation tower, transportation, and 50-gallon drum. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) (a non-isothermal calorimeter), thermal activity monitor III (TAM III) (an isothermal calorimeter), and vent sizing package 2 (VSP2) (an adiabatic calorimeter) were employed to detect the exothermic behavior and runaway reaction model of 80 and 88 mass% CHP. Exothermic onset temperature (T0), heat of decomposition (ΔHd), maximum temperature (Tmax), time to maximum rate under isothermal condition (TMRiso) (as an emergency response time), maximum pressure (Pmax), maximum of self-heating rate ((dT/dt)max), maximum of pressure rise rate ((dP/dt)max), half-life time (t1/2), reaction order (n), activation energy (Ea), frequency factor (A), etc., of 80 and 88 mass% CHP were applied to prevent thermal explosion and runaway reaction accident and to calculate the critical temperature (Tc). Experimental results displayed that the n of 80 and 88 mass% CHP was determined to be 0.5 and the Ea of 80 and 88 mass% CHP were evaluated to be 132 and 134 kJ mol?1, respectively. 相似文献
The non-isothermal crystallisation kinetics of Se90?xIn10Sbx (x = 0, 1, 2, 4, 5) chalcogenide glasses prepared by a conventional melt quenching technique was studied using the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurement at different heating rates 5, 7, 10 and 12 °C min?1. The values of the glass transition temperature Tg and the crystallisation temperature Tc are found to be composition and heating rate dependent. The activation energy of glass transition Eg, Avrami index n, dimensionality of growth m and activation energy of crystallisation Ec have been determined from different models. 相似文献
A chemical, mineralogical and morphological characterization of 54 fragments of oil lamps found in two Spanish archaeological sites (Cordoba and Herrera de Pisuerga (Palencia)) has been performed. Flame atomic absorption and emission spectrometry were used for the determination of Al2O3, CaO, Fe2O3, K2O, MgO, MnO, Na2O and TiO2 as major constituents and Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb and Zn as minor and trace selected elements. Physical, mineralogical and morphological analyses were made by using dilatometry at constant heating rate for the thermal behaviour, X-ray diffraction spectrometry for the mineralogical composition and, in a group of selected samples, scanning electron microscopy and polarizing petrographic microscopy for the observation of thin layers and mineral identification. Separations of light and heavy minerals were carried out with bromoform and X-ray diffraction analysis was applied to both fractions. Multivariate statistical analysis was used to establish correlations between variables and to deduce factors which allow the gathering of oil lamp samples in groups as a function of their composition.The results of these analyses allow the comparison among pieces and the establishment of conclusions about several aspects of their manufacture, the origin of the raw materials and the provenance of the oil lamps (local or imported). They provide information supporting certain archaeological hypothesis. For example, some oil lamps found in Herrera de Pisuerga showed a clearly different physicochemical composition. They were probably brought from Italy by the Roman Legions together with their initial furniture household. 相似文献
The template polymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) along syndiotactic poly(methacrylic acid) (s1-PMAA) templates has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using the scanning as well as the isothermal technique. The resulting Arrhenius plot covers a temperature range between 65 and 120°C and two parts can be distinguished. Below 80°C the overall activation energy, Ea, and entropy ΔS≠, are 76 kJ · mol?1 and ?79 J · mol?1 · K?1 respectively, in excellent agreement with previous dilatometric results. These values differ slightly from those of the blank polymerization leading to rate enhancement by a factor of only two. The small difference in activation parameters is explained by the occurrence of desolvation of st-PMAA chains during propagation of the polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) radicals along the template. Above 80°C, the decreasing tendency to form complexes between PVP and st-PMAA results in a decreasing template effect and a gradual change of apparent Ea and ΔS≠ values towards those of the blank polymerization. Similar results were obtained with atactic and isotactic PMAA templates, but smaller rate enhancements were observed due to weaker complex formation. 相似文献
La2Mo2O9 ceramics have been prepared from freeze-dried precursors and their properties compared to those of lantanum molybdate obtained by conventional solid state (SS) reaction. All materials have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and thermal analysis (TGA/DTA/DSC and dilatometry) to characterize the phase formation and phase transition. When the freeze-dried method was applied, the synthesis temperature required to obtain dense samples was much lower than that for powders obtained by SS reaction. The morphology and structure of the oxide particle are significantly dependent on the synthesis method. The grain size is smaller, whereas the density of sintered pellets is higher for the freeze-dried precursor powder when compared with the SS reaction method. Impedance spectroscopy was used to measure the electrical conductivity of La2Mo2O9 from 548 to 1123 K, in air, and to characterize the blocking effects of grain boundaries. 相似文献
