ABSTRACTWe have investigated the slow dynamics in the glass transition region of a supercooled liquid [Ca(NO3)2]0.4[KN3]0.6 by measuring the dynamic specific heat in the frequency range from 0.01 Hz to 5 kHz. The equilibrium dynamics of the system in this range is well described by the stretched exponential function, exp[-(t/τ)β], and the Vogel-Fulcher type relaxation time, τ = τ0exp[Δ/(T − T0)].

Abstract Up to the advent of synthetic high polymers, plasticizer technology was little understood, Plasticizers had been used mainly with cellulose derivatives, which are not at all good materials for the study of plasticizer action. The chemical processing they undergo, e.g., nitration, acetylation, etc., leads to variations on account of irregular chemical action. In addition, these materials are partly crystalline and partly amorphous. The growing numbers of new materials brought a host of problems in their train, and plasticizing was not the least of them, but a study of their behavior with plasticizers has advanced the knowledge of the plasticizer-polymer system. The principal advances have come from a study of regular and amorphous polymers, such as polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, polystyrene, butadiene rubbers, and so on. From knowledge of these materials, one can revert to the consideration of irregular polymers such as cellulose derivatives and those produced from high polymers by additional chemical reaction, with a better likelihood of understanding their behavior with plasticizers. Thus the recent extensive use of plasticizers has led to an improved understanding of their action, and it appeared that a paper dealing with the subject might be acceptable.

Vitrification is an effective way for the cryopreservation of cells and tissues. The critical cooling rates for vitrification solution are relatively high. It is reported that nanoparticles can improve the heat transfer properties of solutions. To increase the heat transfer coefficient of aqueous cryoprotectant solutions, Hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles were added into Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) solutions (50%, 55%, and 60%, w/w). The glass-transition temperature, devitrification temperature, and specific heat of PVP aqueous solutions with/without HA nanoparticles (0.1%, 0.5%, and 1%, w/w) were measured by a differential scanning calorimeter at a cooling rate of 20°C/min and a warming rate of 10°C/min. The change in density of the above solutions with temperature was determined by using a straw that can reveal the volume change of solutions. The thermal conductivity was calculated based on the experimental data. A device that can be used to measure the thermal conductivity of vitrification solutions with/without nanoparticles was developed in this study. The results showed that the glass-transition temperature, devitrification temperature, and specific heat of PVP aqueous solutions with HA nanoparticles are larger than those without HA nanoparticles. The thermal conductivity of solutions with HA nanoparticles is larger than those without HA nanoparticles at a specific temperature. The lower the temperature, the smaller the difference in thermal conductivity between the solutions with and without HA nanoparticles. The calculated thermal conductivity meets the measured data well.
