Abstract In this study, the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) tests were performed to measure the nonisothermal crystallization behavior of carbon fiber reinforced polyether ether ketone (CF/PEEK) composites under different cooling rates. The characteristic parameters of crystallization were obtained, and the nonisothermal crystallization model was established. The crystallization temperature range of the material at different cooling rates was predicted by the model. The unidirectional laminates were fabricated at different cooling rates in the crystallization temperature range. The results showed that the crystallization temperature range shifted to a lower temperature with the increase of cooling rate, the established nonisothermal crystallization model was consistent with the DSC test results. It is feasible to shorten the cooling control range from the whole process to the crystallization range. The crystallinity and transverse tensile strength declined significantly with the increase of the cooling rate in the crystallization temperature range. The research results provided theoretical support for the selection of cooling conditions and temperature control range, which could be applied to the thermoforming process of semi-crystalline polymer matrixed composites to improve the manufacturing efficiency.

Three different kinds of morphology are found in undercooled Pd80Si20, and they dominate at different undercooling regimens ΔT, defined as ΔT = T1 – Tk, where T1 is the liquidus of Pd80Si20 and Tk is the kinetic crystallization temperature. In the small undercooling regimen, i.e., for ΔT ≤ 190 K, the microstructures are typically dendritic precipitation with a eutecticlike background. In the intermediate undercooling regimen, i.e., for 190 ≤ ΔT ≤ 220 K, spherical morphologies, which arise from nucleation and growth, are identified. In addition, Pd particles are found throughout an entire undercooled specimen. In the large undercooling regimen, i.e., for ΔT ≥ 220 K, a connected structure composed of two subnetworks is found. A sharp decrease in the dimension of the microstructures occurs from the intermediate to the large undercooling regimen. Although the crystalline phases in the intermediate and the large undercooling regimens are the same, the crystal growth rate is too slow to bring about the occurrence of grain refinement. Combining the morphologies observed in the three undercooling regimens and their crystallization behaviors, we conclude that phase separation takes place in undercooled molten Pd80Si20.

A glazed ceramic product with crystalline structure gives an artistic effect. In this study, the effects of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) addition into glaze batches on the crystallization behavior of crystal glaze were studied. Samples were fired at different gloss firing temperatures ranging from 1000-1200?C with 1060?C crystallization temperature. Xray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX) analysis of the phases identified these crystals as willemite (Zn2SiO4) in the form of spherulites. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis indicated that willemite crystals are in the acicular needle like shape. XRD result showed that the intensities of crystal peaks decreased with the addition of CaCO3 up to 3.0 wt%. However, there was no willemite crystals formation as the amount of CaCO3 raised to 5.0 wt%. Besides that, the results also indicated that willemite growth occurs during isothermal holding at crystallization temperature instead of during cooling from gloss firing temperature.

The biodegradable nanocomposites of poly (3–hydroxybutyrate–co–3–hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) with different cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) contents were prepared by a solvent casting method. The effects of CNCs on the crystallization behavior of PHBV were studied by DSC. The DSC results showed that compared to PHBV, the melt crystallization temperature increased to 92.3 °C for the nanocomposites with 10 wt. % CNCs, which indicated that the crystallization of PHBV became easier with the addition of CNCs. Moreover, the non–isothermal crystallization kinetics study illustrated that overall crystallization rate of PHBV in the nanocomposites was faster than that of neat PHBV, which should be attributed to the strong heterogeneous nucleation of CNCs.

AbstractIn this study, hydroxyapatite (HA) was incorporated in a poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) matrix and the thermal properties and crystallization behavior of the derived composites were investigated. The nanocomposites, containing 0–20 wt% HA, were prepared by melt extrusion employing a twin-screw extruder. XRD experiments verified an increase in the intensity of the characteristic diffraction peak of the α-form crystalline phase of PLLA with increasing HA content. By DSC experiments it was observed that the presence of HA increased the crystallinity during cold crystallization, leading to a shift of cold-crystallization temperature to lower values and to an increase in the melting temperature of the PLLA phase. Isothermal crystallization experiments at 100, 110, 115 and 120°C, revealed a maximum in crystallization kinetic around 100°C after the addition of HA compared to 115°C for pure PLLA. The crystallization rate of PLLA matrix in the nanocomposites decreased with increasing crystallization temperature. By using the Avrami and Lauritzen-Hoffman equations the exponent n was calculated in the range 2–3 and a theoretical approach verified that the HA/PLLA systems belong to Regime II of crystallization behavior. The investigated melting behavior of PLLA was attributed to better organized crystalline structure with increasing isothermal crystallization temperatures and might be related with the longer time necessary for the completion of crystallization.

AbstractPP/nano-CaCO3 composites with different interfacial interaction were prepared by addition of compatibilizers with the same polar groups but different backbones. The non-isothermal and isothermal crystallization behavior of PP/nano- CaCO3 composites was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results indicated that the interfacial interaction between PP and nano-CaCO3 increased the crystallization temperature and crystallization rate of PP due to the heterogeneous nucleation of nano-CaCO3. The interfacial interaction between nano- CaCO3 and compatibilizer further increased the crystallization temperature and crystallization rate of PP and induced the formation of β-crystal of PP due to the synergistic effect of heterogeneous nucleation between nano-CaCO3 and compatibilizer. This synergistic effect of heterogeneous nucleation between nano- CaCO3 and compatibilizer depended on the interfacial interaction between compatibilizer and PP matrix. The increased compatibility between compatibilizer and PP matrix favoured the heterogeneous nucleation between nano-CaCO3 and compatibilizer
