Abstract The formation of a network in PTHF inhibits the crystallization of chain units in proximity to the crosslinks. From melting-point-depression measurements, it is estimated that the suppression in crystallizability extends to as much as 8 chain units away from a network junction. This estimate is consistent with the degree of crystallinity measured in various crosslinked PTHF rubbers. The equilibrium melting point for linear PTHF was determined to be 361°K. Although this is significantly higher than previously reported values, the present result is congruent with the melting temperatures measured for crosslinked PTHF, and its use leads to satisfactory predictions of their melting-point depression. The distribution in the lengths of network chains exerted a trivial influence on thermal crystallization behavior. Although this distribution must in principle influence crystallization behavior in so far as it governs crystallizable sequence lengths, differences between uni- and bi-modal network architectures were moderate under the present experimental conditions.

Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to calculate the melting points of perfect crystalline aluminum to high pressures. Under ambientpressure, there exhibits about 20% superheating before melting compared to the experimental melting point. Under high pressures, thecalculated melting temperature increases with the pressure but at a decreasing rate, which agrees well with the Simon's melting equation. Porosity effect was also studied for aluminum crystals with various initial porosity at ambient pressure, which shows that the equilibrium melting point decreases with the initial porosity as experiments expect.
