The effect of thermal history on the crystallization behavior of selenium has been studied by both dilatometric and microscopic methods. The spherulitic growth rate was found to be insensitive to thermal pretreatment while the total crystallization rate depended strongly on the thermal history of the material. It was concluded that high-purity selenium crystallizes by heterogeneous nucleation.

Biodegradable Nanocomposites

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.

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
