ABSTRACTAn amorphous hydrogenated silicon carbon alloy film (a Si1 x Cx :H with x = 0.29) was prepared by glow discharge decomposition of a silane and ethylene gas mixture. A careful and detailed investigation of the infrared absorption was undertaken in the range 400 to 4000 cm1 for both the as deposited (T =250°C) and annealed (up to 1200°C) film. This study demonstrates clearly that there is a structural change from amorphous to microcrystalline at T =8000C and then to crystalline phase at T a=1200° C.

Abstract Extensional mixing elements (EMEs) that impose extension-dominated flow via stationary single-plane or double-plane hyperbolic converging-diverging channels were previously designed for twin-screw and single-screw extruders (TSE and SSE, respectively). In a recently published work by the authors, reactive extrusion was performed on PS/PA6 polymer blends TSE using EMEs and a crystalline phase transition of the minor phase in these droplets was observed as the size of droplet decreases from micron to submicron. Herein, we expand upon this work to SSE and study: a) The ability of the EMEs to improve dispersive mixing in the same blends; b) Assess the possibility of achieving the same crystalline phase transition in SSEs. The final blends were characterized by DSC, rheologically and morphologically via SEM, and the results show that while EME-based SSE leads to much improved mixing, better than non-EME TSE, the reduction in size of the PA6 disperse phase is not enough to induce the phase transition observed in EME-based TSE.

The effects of experimental variables on zirconia nanocrystal growth are investigated, correlating the morphological transformations with phase composition in synthesized nanopowders.
