The crystal growth kinetics in the deeply undercooled Zr50Cu50 melt was studied with the electromagnetic levitation technique. The maximum growth rate umax was, for the first time, demonstrated in undercooled metal and alloy melts, and this allowed us to construct the complete profile of crystal growth kinetics in the whole undercooling region of Zr50Cu50 melt. In deep undercooling region near glass transition, the diffusion-controlled crystal growth mechanism accounted for the growth kinetics, while at lower undercooling the profile around umax remarkably differed from what the classical growth theory covers.

The effect of nanoclay on the cure kinetics of glass/waterborne epoxy nanocomposites is investigated. First step in sample preparation involves dispersing Cloisite® Na+, a natural montmorillonite, in distilled water at 70°C with the aid of a sonicator. Then, desired amounts of dicyandiamide and 2-methyl imidazole, serving as cross-linkers, are mixed to the aqueous nanoclay solution. As the mixing continues, Epi-Rez 3522-W-60 waterborne epoxy resin is introduced to the solution and the compound is mixed for an additional 30 minutes. The nanoclay content of this batch is adjusted to be at 2wt%. An identical second batch, which does not comprise nanoclay, is also prepared to serve as the baseline data. Glass/waterborne epoxy prepregs containing 30% glass fibers are prepared from these batches and used to characterize the effects of nanoclay. The evolution of viscoelastic properties during curing are characterized by the APA2000 rheometer. Using the storage and loss moduli profiles during curing, gel time and maximum storage modulus are characterized. Effect of nanoclay on the glass transition temperature is determined by applying an additional temperature cycle following the cure cycle. In addition, mechanical performances of the samples are characterized by three point bending tests. Nanoclay is observed to yield 2-fold higher storage modulus during curing. Rate of curing is measured to be substantially slower for the samples comprising nanoclay. In addition, glass transition temperature improved by 5% to 99°C with the addition of nanoclay compared to 94.5°C for the samples without nanoclay. Flexural stiffness of the samples containing nanoclay is measured to be 20% higher than the samples without nanoclay while the strength remained virtually unaffected.
