The Poly(L-lactic acid)(PLLA)/surface-grafting silica(g-SiO2) nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending. The isothermal crystallization behavior of PLLA/g-SiO2 nanocomposites with different content of g-SiO2 was investigated by optical depolarizer. In isothermal crystallization from melt, the induction periods and half times for overall PLLA crystallization (95°C Tc 120°C) were affected by the crystallization temperature and the content of g-SiO2 in nanocomposites. The results showed that g-SiO2 as a kind of heterogeneous nucleating agent can reduce induction periods and half times for overall PLLA crystallization. The thermal properties of PLLA/g-SiO2 samples were also investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), The results showed that the crystalline degree of PLLA was improved as the presence of g-SiO2.

Montmorillonite Nanocomposites

Polyethylene/montmorillonite (PE/MMT) nanocomposites were prepared by in situ polymerization. The crystallization behavior of PE/MMT nanocomposites at different MMT concentrations (from 0.1 to 1.2 wt %) were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The equilibrium melting points increase by the addition of MMT. The crystallization rates of PE/MMT nanocomposites are faster than those of pure PE. The addition of MMT facilitated the crystallization of PE, with the MMT functioning as a heterogeneous nucleating agent at lower content; at higher concentrations, however, the physical hindrance of the MMT layers to the motion of PE chains retarded the crystallization process.

Montmorillonite Nanocomposites

AbstractNylon 11 nanocomposites with different montmorillonite loadings were successfully prepared by melt compounding. XRD and TEM show the exfoliated nanocomposites are formed at low montmorillonite concentration (less than 2 wt%) and the intercalated nanocomposites are obtained at higher montmorillonite contents. TGA shows that the thermal stability of the nanocomposites is improved by 27 °C when the montmorillonite content is only 2wt%. At the same time, The crystallization behavior of nylon11/montmorillonite nanocomposites has been studied by means of XRD, DSC.The Avrami equation described well the isothermal crystallization behavior of nylon11 and nylon11/montmorillonite nanocomposites. The results showed that the montmorillonite acted as the nucleating agent and facilitated the crystal growth rate of nylon 11 matrix. The incorporation of montmorillonite did not change the crystal morphology of nylon 11 but increased the crystallization temperature and decreased the crystallization activation energy, which lead to a easy crystallization of nylon11. Mechanical testing shows that the Izod impact strength of all nanocomposites are higher than that of the neat nylon 11, but the tensile strength of the nanocomposites decrease at low nanofiller concentrations (less than 8wt%) and then increased, when the montmorillonite content is 10wt% ,the tensile strength of the nanocomposite is 5% improved than neat nylon 11. This is may be due to the strong interaction between the nylon 11 matrix and the montmorillonite interface.

The crystallization properties of P(3HB-co-4HB) modified with nucleating agent BN was studied. DSC is used to analyze the melting crystallization behavior and POM is used to characterize crystal structure and morphology. The results show the incorporation of BN decreased the spherulite size, increased the crystallization rate and improved the crystallization properties of P(3HB-co-4HB).

Bulk Crystallization

Diopside is a ceramic material with excellent properties including a low dielectric constant, high thermal conductivity, low sintering temperature below 1000 °C, and high mechanical strength. It has been applied to wireless and optical communications, substrates for touch panels, lenses for UV-LED, building materials, and so on. In this study, glass-ceramics containing nano-sized diopside crystals were fabricated, and their transmittance at visible light and photoluminescence were evaluated. In particular, TiO2 was added as a nucleating agent to suppress the surface crystallization phenomenon and Mn was used as a dopant to emit red light. The glass-ceramics were prepared by heat treatment at a temperature lower than the maximum crystal growth temperature (TP) calculated from the non-isothermal analysis method using differential thermal analysis (DTA) for the formation of nano-sized crystals. For glass containing 20 wt% of TiO2, the Avrami constant was calculated to be 2.23 and the activation energy required for crystal growth to be 549 kJ/mol, reflecting typical bulk crystallization behavior. Glass-ceramics with high light transmittance up to 70% were obtained by inducing the bulk crystallization behavior, and the diopside crystal size was less than 10 nm, which was equal to or higher than that of commercialized transparent glass-ceramic products. Glass-ceramic specimens doped with Mn showed luminescence of 736∼766 nm wavelength at excitation light of 365 nm wavelength. The emission peak intensity increased with the amount of dopant added, but gradually decreased with increasing crystallinity of the diopside phase.
