Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) was mixed with submicron particles of barium sulfate to obtain biodegradable radiopaque composites. X-ray images comparing with aluminum samples show that 15 wt.% barium sulfate (BaSO4) is sufficient to present radiopacity. Thermal studies by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) show a statistically significant increase in PCL degree of crystallinity from 46% to 52% for 25 wt.% BaSO4. Non-isothermal crystallization tests were performed at different cooling rates to evaluate crystallization kinetics. The nucleation effect of BaSO4 was found to change the morphology and quantity of the primary crystals of PCL, which was also corroborated by the use of a polarized light optical microscope (PLOM). These results fit well with Avrami–Ozawa–Jeziorny model and show a secondary crystallization that contributes to an increase in crystal fraction with internal structure reorganization. The addition of barium sulfate particles in composite formulations with PCL improves stiffness but not strength for all compositions due to possible cavitation effects induced by debonding of reinforcement interphase.

The current study analyzed the effect of Ni content on the microstructure and superplastic deformation behavior of the Al-Mg-Si-Cu-based alloy doped with small additions of Sc and Zr. The superplasticity was observed in the studied alloys due to a bimodal particle size distribution. The coarse particles of eutectic origin Al3Ni and Mg2Si phases with a total volume fraction of 4.0–8.0% and a mean size of 1.4–1.6 µm provided the particles with a stimulated nucleation effect. The L12– structured nanoscale dispersoids of Sc- and Zr-bearing phase inhibited recrystallization and grain growth due to a strong Zener pinning effect. The positive effect of Ni on the superplasticity was revealed and confirmed by a high-temperature tensile test in a wide strain rate and temperature limits. In the alloy with 4 wt.% Ni, the elongation-to-failure of 350–520% was observed at 460 °C, in a strain rate range of 2 × 10−3–5 × 10−2 s−1.
