Enhancing crystallization ability is a fundamental challenges in Poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) industry, therefore, the goal of this work was to synthesis a new organic nucleating agent N, N'-adipic bis(4-phenylbutyric acid) dihydrazide (APAD), and investigate its effect on non-isothermal crystallization, isothermal crystallization, melting behavior, thermal stability, and optical property of PLLA. Non-isothermal melt crystallization results showed that APAD acted as more effective nucleating and accelerating agent for the crystallization of PLLA, as a result, upon cooling at 1 °C/min, PLLA/0.5 %APAD had the highest onset crystallization temperature 136.4 °C and the crystallization peak temperature 132.0 °C, as well as the largest non-isothermal crystallization enthalpy 48.1 J/g. However, with increasing of APAD concentration from 0.5 wt.% to 3 wt.%, the crystallization peak shifted to the lower temperature. In contrast, for the non-isothermal cold crystallization process, the effect of APAD concentration on the crystallization behavior of PLLA was negligible. Additionally, the non-isothermal crystallization process was also depended on the cooling rates and the final melting temperature. In isothermal crystallization section, to compare with the primary PLLA, the crystallization half-time of PLLA/APAD could decrease from 254.3 s to the minimum value 29.4 s, with 0.5 wt.% APAD contents at 125 °C. Melting behavior of PLLA/APAD samples under different conditions further confirmed the heterogeneous nucleation effect of APAD for PLLA, and the appearance of the double melting peaks was attributed to the melting-recrystallization. Finally, the addition of APAD decreased the thermal stability to some extent, although APAD could not change the thermal decomposition profile of PLLA. And a drop of PLLA/APAD samples in light transmittance resulted from the double influence of the enhancement of crystallization and the opaqueness of APAD.

Kinetics Of

The nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) filled with a novel nucleating agent (TMC328) was studied by using differential scanning calorimetric. The commonly used Arami, Ozawa, and Mo models were used to model the crystallization kinetics, and it appears that Arami and Mo models can well describe the nonisothermal crystallization behaviors of iPP/TMC328 blends. The results indicate that a small amount of TMC328 can obviously enhance the kinetic crystallizability of iPP due to its heterogeneous nucleation effect.

Ratio Variation

The aim of this study was to analyze the influence mechanism of aeolian sand on the mechanical property of concrete and establish the time-varying compressive strength model. Test studies on the development of concrete’s compressive strength with aeolian sand from the Mu Us Desert were carried out. Influence mechanism of aeolian sand on the strength of concrete was revealed by using the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to analyze the pore ratio and structures of aeolian sand concrete (ASC) and using the X-ray single crystal diffraction (XRD) to calculate the relative contents of hydration products semiquantitatively. Results show that the strength first increases and then decreases with the increase of aeolian sand content, where 20% was the best replacement ratio. With less than 20% content, it promoted the strength by changing the pore structure of concrete and accelerating the cement hydration speed based on its filling effect and chemical activity; when the content was more than 20%, it led to a decrease of strength because of an increase of harmful pore ratio and a weakening of the interface transition zone (ITZ), where the stress concentration and damage when loading are easier to occur. At last, a time-varying compressive strength model of ASC considering the harmful pore ratio variation and heterogeneous nucleation effect was established based on the discussion, published date, and American Concrete Institute (ACI) model, which agrees well with the experimental results and can easily predict the strength of concrete.

The grain refining effects of Al-Ti, Al-TiC and Al-Ti-C master alloys on commercially pure aluminum were compared, and the grain refinement mechanism of TiAl3 and TiC among master alloys was discussed. The results show that: the grain refinement of the master alloys Al-TiC and Al-Ti toward pure aluminum mainly stems from the heterogeneous nucleation role of TiC and TiAl3 particles, but with the extension of heat preservation time of fused mass, its role of heterogeneous nucleation will decline due to dissolution of TiAl3 and aggregation and precipitation of TiC. The preferable grain refinement effects of Al-Ti-C master alloys toward pure aluminum are mainly due to the fact that when TiAl3 and TiC particles are acted commonly as heterogeneous nucleation particles, the heterogeneous nucleation effect of TiC particles will be enhanced because of the presence of TiAl3.
