The modelling of the correlation between pressure, specific volume and temperature (pvT) of polymers is highly important for applications in the polymer processing of semi-crystalline thermoplastics, especially in injection moulding. In injection moulding, the polymer experiences a wide range of cooling rates, for example, 60 °C/min near the centre of the part and up to 3000 °C/min near the mould walls. The cooling rate has a high influence on the pvT behaviour, as was shown in the continuous two-domain pvT model (CTD). This work examined the Hoffman–Lauritzen nucleation and growth theory used in the modified Hammami model for extremely high cooling rates (up to 300,000 °C/min) by means of Flash differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) measurements. The results were compared to those of the empirical continuous two-domain pvT model. It is shown that the Hammami model is not suitable to predict the crystallisation kinetics of polypropylene at cooling rates above 600 °C/min, but that the continuous two-domain pvT model is well able to predict crystallisation temperatures at high cooling rates.

AbstractThe transformation of amorphous to crystal (a-c) structure of Si02 layers, thermally grown on both (100) and (111) Si substrates, was carried out by CO2 laser, flash-lamp, and furnace heat: treatments. All the treatments resulted in S102 crystallization according to two different mechanisms: normal and self-sustained growth processes. The kinetic characteristics of the S102 crystallization process such as incubation time, rates of nucleation and growth, and the microstructure of the Si-Si02 interface were investigated and are discussed from the point of view of growth theory. The a-c transformation in Si3N4 and SixOyNz films on Si substrates is also discussed.

This paper considers for transformation behavior of Nb microalloyed steels, experiments had demonstrated the effect of Nb was obvious: lowered start temperature of ferrite transformation remarkably and forming more refined ferrite grain size. In this study, computer simulation of Nb-containing steels transformation during continuous cooling was carried out by adopting a classical nucleation and growth theory, the model was derived based on the theories and the experimental results, and the calculated start temperatures of ferrite transformation were compared with the results of experimental.

AbstractThe use of biomolecules in the creation of inorganic materials offers an alternative to conventional synthetic methods. Biomolecules are currently used to control nucleation and growth of inorganic nanoparticles. Here we demonstrate the formation of silver nanoparticles in the presence of silver-binding peptides. Examination of the silver nanoparticles by transmission electron microscopy revealed a variety of crystal morphologies such as hexagons, triangles and spheres. The peptides serve to reduce the silver ions in the aqueous solution to metallic silver as well as control crystal growth. The nucleation property of peptides can be used as tool for bottom-up fabrication.

The elucidation of spontaneous growth of metal whiskers from metal surfaces is still ongoing, with the mainstream research conducted on Sn whiskers. This work reports on the discovery of Pb whisker growth from Bi-Mg-Pb solid pools found in common machinable aluminum alloy. The whiskers and hillocks display unique morphologies and complex growth that have not been documented beforehand. In contrast to typical understanding of whisker growth, the presented Pb whiskers show a clear nanocrystalline induced growth mechanism, which is a novel concept. Furthermore, the investigated whiskers are also found to be completely composed of nanocrystals throughout their entire length. The performed research gives new insight into nucleation and growth of metal whiskers, which raises new theoretical questions and challenges current theories of spontaneous metal whisker growth. Additionally, this work provides the first microscopic confirmation of recrystallization growth theory of whiskers that relates to oriented attachment of nanocrystals formed within an amorphous metallic matrix. The impact of mechanical stress, generated through Bi oxidation within the pools, is theoretically discussed with relation to the observed whisker and hillock growth. The newly discovered nanocrystalline growth provides a new step towards understanding spontaneous metal whisker growth and possibility of developing nanostructures for potential usage in sensing and electronics applications.
