环形浅池内硅熔体中的热流体波

为了了解工业Czochralski炉内硅熔体表面轮型的基本特征,对环形浅池内硅熔体的热毛细-浮力对流进行了三维数值模拟,硅熔池内径为15 mm,外径为50 mm,深度为3 mm,熔池外壁被加热,内壁被冷却,底部固壁和顶部自由表面均绝热或者允许一个垂直方向的传热。模拟结果表明,当径向温差较小时,熔池内会产生稳定的单胞热毛细-浮力流动,随着温差的增大,流动将转变为三维振荡流动,在熔体自由表面会出现沿周向运动的轮型,小的垂直方向的热流密度(3W/cm2)对这种振荡流动没有大的影响。同时,讨论了流动和温度波动的特征,并确定了振荡流动的临界条件。     

Numerical study of induction heating in melt growth systems—Frequency selection

A set of 2D finite element numerical simulation of induction heating process for an oxide Czochralski crystal growth system has been made for a range of f=1–100 kHz applied frequency of driving current. It was shown that the frequency selection has a marked effect in all basic induction phenomena, including electromagnetic field distribution, skin depth, coil efficiency, and intensity and structure of heating in the growth setup.     

Dynamic adhesive strength of fiber-polymer systems

A new device for studying the dynamic adhesive strength is created. A procedure for determining the dynamic adhesive strength in fiber—polymer systems under impact loading (pull-out technique) is developed. The adhesive strength of the interface of polymer—steel wire joints formed by polymers of different chemical nature (epoxy resin, polysulfone, and polypropylene) is examined. It is shown that the dynamic adhesive strength grows as the loading rate increases for all the systems under investigation and that the relationship between the adhesive strength and the loading rate, , over a wide range of rates can be described by two straight lines corresponding to the quasi-static and impact loading, respectively. When passing from the quasi-static to dynamic loading, the character of scale relations of the adhesive strength does not change.Translated from Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, Vol. 35, No. 6, pp. 689–700, November–December, 1999.     

Zum Fließverhalten kurzglasfasergefüllter Thermoplastschmelzen im stationären und instationären Bereich

Zusammenfassung Durch Zugabe von Glasfasern wird das rheologische Verhalten von Kunststoffschmelzen verändert. Kurzglasfasergefüllte Styrol-Acrylnitril-Copolymere mit verschiedenen Füllgraden wurden mit dem Rotations-und dem Kapillarrheometer untersucht. Sowohl im stationären Bereich als auch im instationären Bereich (Anlauf- und Abklingverhalten) sind Unterschiede zum ungefüllten Material festzustellen: Mit Zunahme des Faseranteils steigt der Schubmodul, und das viskoelastische Überschwingen wird geringer als bei ungefüllten Systemen. Erhöhung von Temperatur, Schergeschwindigkeit und Faseranteil führen zu einer Verkürzung der Relaxationszeiten, Steigerung des hydrostatischen Druckes erwartungsgemäß zu deren Verlängerung.

Summary The rheological behaviour of polymer melts is changed by addition of glass fibres. Experiments were conducted with styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers filled with various amounts of short fibres on a rotational and a capillary rheometer, both under steadystate and transient conditions. It is observed that by adding fibres the shear modulus increases but the stress overshoot decreases. With increase of temperature, shear rate and fibre content relaxation times become shorter whereas with higher hydrostatic pressures they grow longer, as is to be expected.

The non-isothermal rheological behaviour of molten polymers: Shear and elongational stress growth of polyisobutylene under heating

Summary Data of stress growth under both shear and elongational kinematics have been taken in presence of heating temperature ramps on a commerical polyisobutylene.The experimental results have been analysed on the basis of a generalized Maxwell model already proved to be very accurate in predicting the isothermal behaviour. A good agreement is observed between the theoretical predictions and the experimental results.Also the features usually observed in volume-temperature curves by effect of cooling acrossT _g are qualitatively reproduced by the model.With 6 figures     

Versatility of the dipolar filter selection: from 1H nuclear spin diffusion experiment to the measurement of nuclear Overhauser effect in homopolymer melts

Dipolar filters select ¹H magnetization according to local dipolar dephasing, which corresponds to site mobility in systems with heterogeneous molecular mobility. Combined with a conventional exchange experiment, it is usually applied to polymeric samples exhibiting structures on the nanometer length scale associated with a strong dynamic contrast. There, the resulting ¹H nuclear spin diffusion experiment yields the size of the structure. When the same experiment is applied to homopolymer melts exhibiting a weak dynamic contrast and dynamic heterogeneities on significant shorter length scales, the recorded magnetization decay is in agreement with decays expected from a heterogeneous nanostructure. However, dipolar filters actually can also select mobile parts of the repeat unit, e.g. the end of the alkyl side chains and the subsequent magnetization transfer then can occur via cross relaxation due to non coherent zero-quantum transitions (nuclear Overhauser effect, NOE). The difficulties of distinguishing these two cases are examined and it is demonstrated that NOE experiments exploiting magnetization selection via the dipolar filter allow quantifying the local dynamics of the side chains. This opens new possibilities for measurements of local dynamics in non isotopically labeled homopolymer melts.     

Preparation and characterization of Co80Nb20-xBx amorphous metallic ribbons

Co₈₀Nb₁₄B₆, Co₈₀Nb₁₂B₈ and Co₈₀Nb₁₀B₁₀ amorphous alloys were obtained through the melt-spinning process. The ribbons structure was investigated by X-ray diffractometry and the crystallization process and the thermal stability were studied by means of differential thermal analysis and thermomechanical technique. It was observed that the crystallization temperature depends on the alloy composition and occurs in a temperature range between 420 and 730°C. The coercive field of all alloys was determined by magnetic susceptibility measurements, the values of which range from 2.78 to 5.95 A m^-1. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Unique thermal behavior of acrylic PSAs bearing long alkyl side groups and crosslinked by aluminum chelate

An acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA), bearing octadecyl acrylate, methyl acrylate and acrylic acid groups, and crosslinked by aluminum acetylacetonate (AlACA), displayed behavior unique among acrylic PSAs in that its adhesion, which decreases with an increase in temperature, began to increase again from around 150 °C. In order to understand this behavior, the structure and thermal properties of the PSA were investigated in detail, along with another PSA crosslinked by a covalent crosslinking agent (Az). From thermal mechanical analysis, the PSA with ionic crosslinks (AlACA) showed three softening points at 20, 60, and 160 °C. In comparison, the PSA covalently crosslinked by Az only exhibited two softening points (at 20 and 60 °C). The softening point at 160 °C is clearly related to ionic chelate crosslinking. DSC measurements indicated that the softening point at 20 °C resulted from melting of the ordered octadecyl group, and the softening point at 60 °C was due to an increase in the mobility of the main chain. The temperature dependence of viscoelastic measurements revealed that the viscosity of the PSA crosslinked by AlACA increased at around 160 °C. From these results, we considered that the distinctive adhesion of the PSA crosslinked by AlACA could be due to ligand exchange at the aluminum crosslinking points, which are chelated by carboxy groups built in the main chain.     

Rapid solidification processing in molten salts chemistry: X-ray analysis of deeply undercooled cryolite-alumina melts

Rapid solidification processing (cooling rate from the interval 10⁵–10⁶ K s⁻¹) was used to prepare deeply undercooled cryolite-alumina melts. Such prepared samples were analyzed by the XRD method. Besides cryolite, XRD patterns belonging to ι-Al₂O₃ were recorded. The influence of annealing on the XRD patterns of deeply undercooled melts was also investigated.     

Thermally degradable maleimides for reworkable adhesives

New thermosetting materials were developed for reworkable adhesive applications by introducing acetal ester groups as thermally degradable linkages into maleimide compounds. The synthesis of compounds containing maleimide functionality and acetal ester linkages was conducted by a one‐step neat reaction from commercially available materials. The polymerization process and thermal degradation of the synthesized materials were studied. It was found that the acetal ester linkage degraded rapidly above 225 °C, and introduction of this linkage into the adhesive formulation led to improved reworkability of adhesively bonded substrates. A mechanism for reworkability was proposed based on the insight provided by experimental and modeling work. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 47: 1073–1084, 2009
