  • The crystallization kinetics of $Fe_{73.5}Si_{13.5}B_{9}Cu_{1}Nb_{3}$ amorphous alloy has been investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The crystallization process had two stages, i.e. precipitation of the $\alpha$-Fe(Si) solid solution and the tetragonal borides. The isothermal transformation data of the amorphous alloy has been fitted successfully to the generalized Johnson-Mehl-Avrami equation. The mean time exponent, n, obtained is close to 2.5. The value of n=2.5 may be interpreted as being due to a diffusion-controlled transformation process with a constant nucleation rate, one likely transformation mode for the crystallization of metallic amorphous alloys. The activation energy of the overall crystallization process deduced from the time to 50% crystallization are about 81 kcal/mole. The value is of the same order as those estimated from viscous flow.

  • The grafting reaction for maleic anhydride (MA) onto high density polyethylene (HDPE) was investigated from solution process with initiators. The chemical modification of neat HDPE was carried out with various contents of MA (3-21 wt.%) and initiator (0.2-1 wt.%) at different temperature ($80-130^{\circ}C$). The grafting degree was obtained from the titration and the highest grafting degree was 3.1%. The grafting degree increased as the content of MA and initiator increased, however, the highest grafting degree was demonstrated for a particular content of MA and initiator. In the non-isothermal crystallization kinetics, the Ozawa model was unsuitable method to investigate the crystallization behavior of MA onto HDPE, whereas the Avrami and Liu models found effective. The crystallization rate was accelerated as the cooling rate increased, but postponed by combination of MA onto neat HDPE backbone.

  • Biodegradable poly (I ,4-butanediol succinate) (PBS) was synthesized from 1,4-butanediol and succinic anhydride. The glass transition temperature of poly (I, 4-butanediol succinate) was revealed at $73^{\circ}C$. The crystallization and cold crystallization of the polymers were investigated as a function of holding time in melt state, cooling rate. reheating, and molecular weight. Chain scission and/or cmsslinking did not occur in the melt state at var.ious holding times. Slower scanning rate can allow more times for nucleation, rearrangement, and packing of the polymer chain, so the onset temperature of crystallization from the melt was increased. PBS crystallized from the melt was found to have spherulitic structure. The degradation behavior of PBS was studied under basic conditions and with microorganisms using the modified ASTM method. In the basic solution. PBS lost up to 85% of its mass within two days. Based upon visual observation, the crystalline structure of films composed of larger molecular weight polymers retained their crystallinity longer than similar structures in low molecular weight samples.

  • This paper is studied on the efficient purification process of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from the melt layer crystallization combining crystallization process, sweating process and distillation recovery process. Purity and yield of DMC crystal depended mainly on the crystallization temperature, cooling rate, sweating termperature sweating rate. Through the optimization of crystallization and sweating operation, DMC crystal can be upgraded to very high purity over 99.9% and high yield over 85%.

  • The hydrogen sorption speeds of $Zr_{57}V_{36}Ti_7$ amorphous alloy and its crystallized alloys were evaluated at room temperature. $Zr_{57}V_{36}Ti_7$ amorphous alloy was prepared by ball milling. The hydrogen sorption rate of the partially crystallized alloy was higher than that of amorphous. The enhanced sorption rate of partially crystallized alloy was explained in terms of grain refinement that has been known to promote the diffusion into metallic bulk of the gases. The grain refinement could be obtained by crystallization of amorphous phase resulting in the observed increase in sorption property.

  • We studied the crystallization behavior of amorphous PbTiO3 thin film grown at 30$0^{\circ}C$ by RF magnetron sputtering on Pt substrate. Crystallization to full perovskite phase was observed after annealing at 475$^{\circ}C$, for 9min, without PbO volatilization. The higher the annealing temperature, the shorter the time required for crystallization. The isothermal kinetic study at 475$^{\circ}C$ showed that the Avrami constant was approximately 4, which implies that the crystallization can be characterized by isotropic 3-dimensional growth with a constant nucleation rate. The TEM study revealed that the crystallized thin film was composed of very fine (20~100nm) grains oriented randomly without any evidence of 90$^{\circ}$domain boundaries.

  • In this paper, the isothermal crystallization kinetics of a functional PP (FPP) with different grafting yields (GY)-methacryloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (DMC) grafted PP were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that the crystallization rate of FPP (GY=4.83%) was the highest for all of the studied samples. Furthermore, for the FPP with different GY, the value of $t_{1/2}$ became longer with increasing the grafting yield (GY). The possible explanation was that the quaternary ammonium groups introduced affected the crystallization process of the FPP in two opposite directions, i.e. promoting the nucleation and hindering the transport of the chain molecules towards the growing nuclei. Polarized optical micrographs showed that the DMC chains acted as nucleating agents, which accelerated the nucleation. In addition, the results showed the FPP had lower nucleation free energy than the PP. This study would be useful for designing the processing parameters of the grafted samples.

  • Effects of $O_2$ flow during deposition on Si crystallization at low substrate temperature were studied. Silicon thin films were prepared on $SiO_2$ substrates in a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition chamber using a mixture of $SiH_4$ and $H_2$. In some cases $O_2$ was intentionally introduced during deposition. Growth of poly silicon was observed at the substrate temperature as low as $480^{\circ}C$ when $O_2$ was flowed during deposition implying that crystallization of Si was enhanced by $O_2$ flow. On the other hand, $O_2$ flow did not show any significant effects at higher substrate temperature, where deposition rate is relatively fast. Enhancement mechanism of Si crystallization by $O_2$ flow was suggested from these results.

  • Crystallization behaviour of blends of different MFI isotactic polypropylenes (PP), and blends of PP with carbon nanofibre have been investigated by DSC and polarizing optical microscope. Both higher MFI PP component and the carbon nanofibre in the blend influence the nucleation activity of the melt during non-isothermal crystallization. In presence of carbon nanofibre, the sherulitic growth rate is highly disturbed. The calculation of nucleation activity indicates that carbon nanofibres act as active substrate for heterogeneous nucleation.
