The synthesis of more than 10 new magnetic ionic liquids with [MnX4]2− anions, X = Cl, NCS, NCO, is presented. Detailed structural information through single-crystal X-ray diffraction is given for (DMDIm)[Mn(NCS)4], (BnEt3N)2[Mn(NCS)4], and {(Ph3P)2N}2[Mn(NCO4)]·0.6H2O, respectively. All compounds consist of discrete anions and cations with tetrahedrally coordinated Mn (II) atoms. They show paramagnetic behavior as expected for spin-only systems. Melting points are found for several systems below 100 °C classifying them as ionic liquids. Thermal properties are investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements. The physicochemical properties of density, dynamic viscosity, electrolytic conductivity, and surface tension were measured temperature-dependent of selected samples. These properties are discussed in comparison to similar Co containing systems. An increasing amount of bromide impurity is found to affect the surface tension only up to 3.3%.

In this study, a highly crystalline bismuth ferrite (BFO) powder was synthesized using a novel, very simple, and cost-effective synthetic approach. It was demonstrated that the optimal annealing temperature for the preparation of highly-pure BFO is 650 °C. At lower or higher temperatures, the formation of neighboring crystal phases was observed. The thermal behavior of BFO precursor gel was investigated by thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) measurements. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and Mössbauer spectroscopy were employed for the investigation of structural properties. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to evaluate morphological features of the synthesized materials. The obtained powders were also characterized by magnetization measurements, which showed antiferromagnetic behavior of BFO powders.

High-density polyethylene (HDPE)–clay nanocomposites have been prepared using the melt intercalation technique. Organically modified montmorillonite at various loadings (0.5–7%) was used as a nanoadditive. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was utilized for the first time to monitor the stress-induced crystal-to-crystal transformations of the polyethylene matrix with respect to the clay loading as well as to the degree of mechanical strain. In addition, polarized infrared measurements revealed information on both the orientation and the stress-induced distortion of the crystals. It was concluded that the crystal-to-crystal transformations are hindered by the presence of the clay, which also prevented the crystals from orienting even at low clay loadings (1%). Finally, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements confirmed the presence of the stress-induced crystalline structures in agreement with the infrared measurements.

Glass forming ability and crystallization kinetics of Al-Mg-Ni-La alloys have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The maximum thickness achievable in glasses of Al76Mg11Ni8La5and Al69Mg18Ni8La5ribbons were 200 and 120 μm, respectively. The crystallization temperature and peak temperature indicated by DSC measurements displayed dependence on the heating rate during continuous heating, and were coincident with Lanoka’s relationship. The activation energies for the crystallization reactionExwere obtained from the Kissinger’s equation. The results show the Mg addition is beneficial to the thermal stability of the amorphous phase.

Deformation induced martensite properties were examined according to existing martensite morphology, crystallography and formation temperatures for different prior austenite homogenization conditions in Fe-30%Ni-5%Cu alloy. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were employed to investigation. Scanning electron microscope observations showed elongated deformation induced martensite morphology in the austenite phase of alloy. As well, after deformation martensite start temperatures (Ms) were determined as -101?C and -105?C from DSC measurements for different homogenization conditions. In addition, X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the face centred cubic (fcc) of austenite phases and body centred cubic (bcc) deformation induced martensite phases for all studied samples.

Estimating the solubility and solution thermodynamics parameters of aliskiren hemifumarate (AHF) in three different room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs), Transcutol-HP (THP) and water are interesting as there is no solubility data available in the literature. In the current study, the solubility and solution thermodynamics of AHF in three different RTILs, THP and water at the temperature range from 298.2 to 318.2 K under air pressure 0.1 MP were evaluated. The solid phase evaluation by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD) indicated no conversion of AHF into polymorph. The mole fraction solubility of AHF was found to be highest in 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (HMMHFP) ionic liquid (7.46 × 10−2) at 318.2 K. The obtained solubility values of AHF was regressed by the Apelblat and van’t Hoff models with overall root mean square deviations (RMSD) of 0.62% and 1.42%, respectively. The ideal solubility of AHF was higher compared to experimental solubility values at different temperatures. The lowest activity coefficient was found in HMMHFP, which confirmed highest molecular interaction between AHF–HMMHFP. The estimated thermodynamic parameters confirmed endothermic and entropy driven dissolution of AHF in different RTILs, THP, and water.

AbstractEight plastic crystals of the types NEtxMe(4 − x)BEt4 and NEtyPr(4 − y)BEt4 (x=0–4, y=1–3) were found in a new region of ionic plastic crystals. In this area, globular cations and anions are assembled by weak interactions. Based on the results of solid-state 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements, it was revealed that the ions performed isotropic reorientations in the NEtxMe(4–x)BEt4 crystals (x=0–4). Additionally, X-ray diffraction (XRD) of these compounds was able to identify the CsCl-type cubic structure. In contrast, the XRD reflections of NEtyPr(4−y)BEt4 (y=1–3) could be successfully fitted by distorted cubic lattices (trigonal symmetry). The NMR line shapes observed in these compounds were explained by overall molecular motions with large amplitudes (pseudo-isotropic reorientations). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) spectra of NEtyPr(4 − y)BEt4 (y=1–3) showed a low entropy change (ΔSmp) of 6–8 J K−1 mol−1 at the melting point. Ionic diffusion was identified by electrical conductivity measurements of NEtxMe(4 − x)BEt4 and NEtyPr(4–y)BEt4 (x=0–4, y=1–3). In the case of NPr4BEt4 crystals, ionic diffusion was also detected, although complex powder patterns and large ΔSmp values were observed by XRD and DSC measurements, respectively.

In total, three novel organic derivatives of lanthanide borohydrides, n-But4NRE(BH4)4 (TBAREB), RE = Ho, Tm, Yb, have been prepared utilizing mechanochemical synthesis and purified via solvent extraction. Studies by single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD and PXRD) revealed that they crystalize in two polymorphic forms, α- and β-TBAREB, adopting monoclinic (P21/c) and orthorhombic (Pnna) unit cells, previously found in TBAYB and TBAScB, respectively. Thermal decomposition of these compounds has been investigated using thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry (TGA/DSC) measurements, along with the analysis of the gaseous products with mass spectrometry (MS) and with analysis of the solid decomposition products with PXRD. TBAHoB and TBAYbB melt around 75 °C, which renders them new ionic liquids with relatively low melting points among borohydrides.

AbstractIn this work, an amorphous alloy with the nominal composition of Fe78Si9B13was produced by a melt spinning method. Using different velocities of a quenching cooper wheel enabled us to study the influence of quenching rate upon the structural characteristics of the resulting ribbons. Structural features of the samples were checked by Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The latter performed in a grazing angle geometry enabled us to explore both sides of the as-quenched ribbons. The onset of crystallization was estimated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements. Surface features of the ribbons were examined by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). In order to observe structural relaxation phenomena the samples were annealed below the onset of crystallization at 450 °C for 1 hour in Ar protective atmosphere. Even though the annealed ribbons are still amorphous relevant changes were observed in their hyperfin parameters as derived from Mssbauer spectrometry.

The devitrification of the Fe-Ni-B-Si amorphous ribbon was investigated by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) with scanning and isothermal methods. The devitrification of rapidly quenched ribbons is a multilevel process. On the basis of DSC investigations it was determined that crystallization occurs in three processes up to 700°C in the Fe40Ni40B16Si4 alloy. In the present work the first and second steps have been discussed. The first crystallization step involves the segregation of the Fe-Ni crystalline solid solution from the amorphous matrix. During the second crystallization phase, in addition to austenite, nickel silicide and two types of iron borides crystallize as well. The ribbons were relaxed at 380°C for 2 hours, following the pre-annealing at different temperatures. Pre-annealing was performed in the DSC within the temperature range elapsing from 395°C to 420°C. The preannealing at temperatures below the first exothermal DSC peak has an effect on the crystallization processes. After the pre-annealing the samples were investigated by DSC. The DSC peak of the first crystallization step shifts to higher temperatures and decrease its enthalpy. The scanning DSC measurements, applied after the isothermal pre-annealing, were performed in order to determine the fraction of the ribbon transformed in the primary crystallization step. The second DSC peak shifts to lower temperatures with a maximum of 4°C. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses reveal that the lattice constant changes with the pre-annealing temperatures. Such observation was also supported by the circumstance that the composition of the Fe-Ni solid solution undergoes certain modifications.

AbstractThree functionalized ionic liquids (ILs) of [HeMIM]Cl, [CeMIM]Cl, and [AeMIM]Br that can dissolve corn stalk were synthesized and characterized via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and 1H NMR. The dissolved corn stalk was in situ blended with phenol and formaldehyde to produce modified phenolic resin composites. The resulting composites were characterized via FTIR, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction analysis, and tested for their mechanical properties. In addition, the effects of ILs on the dissolution rate of corn stalks and on the mechanical properties of the modified phenolic resin were investigated as well. The results showed that the synthesized ILs presented good solubility toward corn stalk at the optimum temperature of 90°C. After modification with corn stalk dissolved in ILs, the mechanical properties of phenolic resin were significantly improved. At the same conditions, the phenolic resin modified with [AeMIM]Br presented the lowest concentration of free formaldehyde and the best mechanical properties, in which the tensile strength and impact strength were improved from 3.28 MPa and 0.93 kJ/m2 to 9.36 MPa and 5.74 kJ/m2, respectively, but the hardness only changed slightly.
