Phase diagram and heat of fusion of succinonitrile–phenanthrene system have been studied. Heat of mixing, entropy of fusion, and excess thermodynamic functions such as hE, sE, and gE have also been calculated. The results have been explained on the basis of cluster formation and the interactions among the components forming the eutectic melt. Solid–liquid and liquid–liquid interfacial energies calculated from the heats of fusion of the pure components suggest the validity of Cahn wetting condition and predict the monotectic solidification morphology in the present system.

AbstractThe solid — liquid phase equilibria for binary mixture of citric acid with tartaric acid were measured using differential scanning calorimetry. The phase diagram showed the existence a simple eutectic behavior. The thermal properties of this system as heat of mixing, entropy of fusion and excess thermodynamic functions were computed using enthalpy of fusion values. The composition of eutectic was determined using a Tammann diagram.

The following properties have been determined by direct experiment for pure sodium chlorate and its mixtures with sodium nitrate: heat capacity (both solid and liquid) and heat of fusion. From these experimental quantities, the following properties have been derived: entropy of fusion, heat of mixing, and free energy and entropy of mixing. The results have been compared with our previous results for the corresponding lithium chlorate – lithium nitrate system. On the whole, the conclusion is justified that the structure of melts containing lithium chlorate is more complex than that of melts involving sodium chlorate.

Phase diagram of binary organic system of urea (U) with 2-aminobenzothiazole (ABT) shows the formation of a eutectic at 0.350 mole fraction of urea. Growth kinetics of the eutectic and pure components studied by measuring the rate of movement of solid-liquid interface in a thin glass U-tube at different undercoolings (ÄT) suggests the applicability of HilligTurnbull’s equation:  v = u (ÄT) n. The thermodynamic functions such as heat of mixing, entropy of fusion, roughness parameter, interfacial energy and excess thermodynamic functions were calculated from the enthalpy of fusion values, obtained from DSC data. The optical microphotographs of pure and eutectic alloy show their characteristic features. Scientific World, Vol. 10, No. 10, July 2012 p91-94 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/sw.v10i10.6871

The phase diagram of urea–p-nitrophenol system, in the form of a temperature-composition curve, shows the formation of a 1: 1 molecular complex surrounded by two eutectics containing 0.216 and 0.777 mole fraction of p-nitrophenol. Data on growth velocity (v), obtained by measuring the rate of movement of the interface at different undercoolings (ΔT), suggest that they obey the Hillig–Turnbull equation, i.e., v = u (ΔT)n, where u and n are constants depending on the nature of materials involved. From the heat of fusion values, determined by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method, heat of mixing, entropy of fusion, roughness parameter, interfacial energy, radius of the critical nucleus, and the excess thermodynamic functions were calculated. While the x-ray diffraction data show that the eutectics are not mechanical mixtures of the components under investigation, the microstructural investigations give their characteristic features.

The physical and structural fundamentals of polymorphism are introduced, including a review of the phase rule and the thermodynamic relations in polymorphs. The latter are used to introduce energy–temperature diagrams, leading to the definition of the concepts enantiotropism and monotropism describing the thermodynamic relationships between and among polymorphs with appropriate examples. The alternate representation of phase diagram in terms of pressure and temperature is also presented. These lead to a number of rules regarding the relationships between polymorphs and ways to understand and predict some important physical properties: the heat-of-transition rule, the heat-of-fusion rule, the entropy-of-fusion rule, the heat-capacity rule, the density rule, and the infrared rule. Structural aspects include the distinction between crystal form and crystal habit and methods for characterizing and comparing structures in polymorphic systems. Current developments are discussed that deal with the ramifications of nanoscale situations on structural concepts and thermodynamic relationships.

In the wetting of a solid by a liquid it is often assumed that the substrate is rigid. However, for an elastic substrate the rigidity depends on the cube of its thickness and so reduces rapidly as the substrate becomes thinner as it approaches becoming a thin sheet. In such circumstances, it has been shown that the capillary forces caused by a contacting droplet of a liquid can shape the solid rather than the solid shaping the liquid. A substrate can be bent and folded as a (pinned) droplet evaporates or even instantaneously and spontaneously wrapped on contact with a droplet. When this effect is used to create three dimensional shapes from initially flat sheets, the effect is called capillary origami or droplet wrapping. In this work, we consider how the conditions for the spontaneous, capillary induced, folding of a thin ribbon substrate might be altered by a rigid surface structure that, for a rigid substrate, would be expected to create Cassie–Baxter and Wenzel effects. For smooth thin substrates, droplet wrapping can occur for all liquids, including those for which the Young’s law contact angle (defined by the interfacial tensions) is greater than 90° and which would therefore normally be considered relatively hydrophobic. However, consideration of the balance between bending and interfacial energies suggests that the tendency for droplet wrapping can be suppressed for some liquids by providing the flexible solid surface with a rigid topographic structure. In general, it is known that when a liquid interacts with such a structure it can either fully penetrate the structure (the Wenzel case) or it can bridge between the asperities of the structure (the Cassie–Baxter case). In this report, we show theoretically that droplet wrapping should occur with both types of solid–liquid contact. We also derive a condition for the transition between the Cassie–Baxter and Wenzel type droplet wrapping and relate it to the same transition condition known to apply to superhydrophobic surfaces. The results are given for both droplets being wrapped by thin ribbons and for solid grains encapsulating droplets to form liquid marbles.
