Analysis of the nonisothermal crystallization kinetics in three linear aromatic polyester systems

Melt or cold crystallization kinetics has a strong bearing on morphology and the extent of crystallization, which significantly affects the physical properties of polymeric materials. Nonisothermal crystallization kinetics are often analyzed by the classical Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov (JMAK) model or one of its variants, even though they are based on an isothermal assumption. As a result, during the nonisothermal (e.g. constant heating or cooling rate) crystallization of polymeric material, different sets of model parameters are required to describe crystallization at different rates, thereby increasing the total number of model parameters. In addition, due to the uncorrelated nature of these model parameters with the cooling or heating rate, accurate modeling at any intermediate condition is not possible. In the present work, these two limitations of the conventional approach have been eliminated by exhibiting the existence of a functional relationship between cooling or heating rate and effective activation energy during nonisothermal melt or cold crystallization in three linear aromatic polyesters. Furthermore, it has been shown that when the JMAK model is used in conjunction with this functional relationship, it is possible to precisely predict the experimental nonisothermal melt or cold crystallization kinetics at any linear cooling or heating rate with a single set of model parameters.     

THERMAL PROPERTY, MISCIBILITY AND CRYSTALLIZATION BEHAVIOR OF POLY（3-HYDROXYBUTYRATE-co- 3-YDROXYHEXANOATE） AND POLY（BUTYLENE SUCCINATE-ADIPATE） （PHBHHX/PBSA） BLENDS

Blends of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) and poly(butylene succinate-adipate) (PBSA), both biodegradable semicrystalline polyesters, were prepared with the ratio of PHBHHx/PBSA ranging from 80/20 to 20/80 by melt mixing method. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMA), polarizing optical microscopy (POM) and wide angle X-ray diffractometer (WAXD) were used to study the miscibility and crystallization behavior of PHBHHx/PBSA blends. Experimental results indicate that PHBHHx is immiscible with PBSA as shown by the almost unchanged glass transition temperature and the biphasic melt.

A Study of PbTiO3 Crystallization in Pure and Composite Nanopowders Prepared by the Sol-Gel Technique

Summary.  In this investigation the crystallization of PbTiO₃ upon annealing of pure nanopowders and PbTiO₃–SiO₂ (1:1 v/v) nanocomposite powders prepared by the sol-gel technique was studied. Using X-ray diffraction phase analysis, the start of PbTiO₃ crystallization in pure PbTiO₃ powders was detected at 400°C. Distinct crystallization of PbTiO₃ in PbTiO₃–SiO₂ nanocomposites starts at 700°C, whereas SiO₂ remains amorphous. There are indications that an interface interaction between the PbTiO₃ and the SiO₂ phase plays an important role in hindering the crystallization of PbTiO₃. The particle size (size of coherently scattering regions) was estimated from the broadening of the X-ray diffraction line profiles. The average size of PbTiO₃ nanocrystallites increases with temperature and time of annealing, the influence of temperature being more significant than that of the annealing time. Differential scanning calorimetry confirmed the results of the X-ray diffraction with respect to the start of the crystallization. Laser beam scattering and scanning electron microscopy provided the statistical distribution of the grain size and the morphology of the powder grains, showing that each grain of the powders contains several nanocrystallites (coherently scattering regions).

Synthesis and Characterization of Nitrato-Triamine-Metal(II) Complexes. Conglomerate Crystallization Part 55. Crystal Structure of [Ni(dien)(O2NO)(ONO2)] (I), {[Cu(dien)-(μ-ONO2)]NO3}∞ (II), [Zn(dien)(O2NO)(ONO2)] (III), [Ni(Medpt)(O2NO)(ONO2)] (IV) and [Cu(Medpt)(ONO2)2] (V)

In absolute ethanol and in the presence of triethylorthoformate, reactions of metal(II) nitrates with linear tridentate amines afforded metal complexes of the formula M(NNN)(NO₃)₂, where M = Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺, and NNN = dien and Medpt. The compounds fall into three categories in accordance with their stereochemistry and mode of binding of the nitrato ligands. Compounds I, [Ni(dien)(O₂NO)(ONO₂)] and III, [Zn(dien)(O₂NO)(ONO₂)] are isomorphous and isostructural. They crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with nearly identical cell constants. The stereochemistry of these two compounds is such that the terdentate dien ligand forms a fac MN₃ moiety with the two oxygens of the bidentate nitrato ligand trans to the terminal NH₂. These ligands form the base of the octahedral arrangement in which the sixth position, trans to the secondary nitrogen of the dien, is an oxygen of the monodentate nitrato ligand. Compound IV, [Ni(Medpt)(O₂NO)(ONO₂)] falls into the same category as I and III despite the fact that the two rings in the Ni-Medpt moiety are six-membered rings, unlike those in compounds I and III which are five-membered rings. Nevertheless, the nickel-amine arrangement is fac. The bidentate nitrato-oxygens are trans to the terminal NH₂ of the amine ligand, and the oxygen of the monodentate nitrato ligand is trans to the tertiary amine-nitrogen. Such stereochemistry is prevalent for nickel and zinc compounds. Interestingly, compound IV crystallizes as a conglomerate (space group P2₁2₁2₁). Compound II, {[Cu(dien)(μ-ONO₂)]NO₃}_∞ belongs to the second category and has a polymeric structure. The repeating fragment in the polymeric chain is a Cu(dien)-O fragment with the monodentate nitrato ligand occupying an equatorial position of the base. A second oxygen of the equatorial nitrate becomes an axial ligand for an adjacent Cu-N₃O fragment. In this way the substance propagates into an infinite chain. The repeating unit has an effective square pyramidal, five-coordinate, configuration. Finally, the compound crystallizes as a racemate. The second nitrate necessary for charge compensation of this copper(II) compound is ionic and its function is to hold the infinite chains of the lattice. The third category represented by compound V, [Cu(Medpt)(ONO₂)₂] contains two molecules in the asymmetric unit of the racemic lattice (monoclinic, space group P2₁/a). The structure of Cu-Medpt is unlike that of IV in that both species present in the asymmetric unit have the amine ligand in a mer configuration which together with a monodentate oxygen of a nitrato ligand form a base plane of a square pyramid. The fifth ligand of both Cu²⁺ ions is a second monodentate nitrato ligand. The stereochemical differences between the two Cu²⁺ ions are insignificant for the Cu-Medpt fragment, which share the same conformation and configuration. The major difference between the two species is the torsional angles defined by the Cu-O-N-O angles. The difference arises from variation in the hydrogens of the primary amine moieties selected by nitrato-oxygens to form intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Finally, there is a little variation in the equatorial Cu-ONO₂ stereochemistry because of steric hindrance, imposed by the Medpt, preventing large torsional angles by these nitrato ligands. This is evident by comparing the two copper species shown in Finally, nitrate-to-Br ligand exchange was found to take place when KBr pellets are prepared for IR spectral measurements.
