Crystallization characteristic and scaling behavior of germanium antimony thin films for phase change memory

The scaling effects of the Ge8Sb92 thin films on the phase change behavior, thermal properties, phase structure, crystallization mechanism and electrical switching characteristics of phase change memory were systematically investigated.

Non-Isothermal Crystallization Behavior and Kinetics of Compatibilized β Nucleated Polypropylene/Polystyrene Blends

The β nucleated polypropylene (PP), uncompatibilized β nucleated PP/polystyrene (PS) and compatibilized β nucleated PP/PS blends were prepared on a twinscrew extruder.and added into compatibilizers styrene-ethylene-propylene block copolymer (SEP) or two styrene-ethylene-butylen- e-styrene block copolymers (SEBS) with different content of styrene.The crystallization characteristic, melting behavior and crystallization kinetics of these composites were studied.

Study on Crystallization Characteristic of 3PE Anti-Corrosion Coating for Steel Pipeline

Three layers polyethylene (3PE) anti-corrosion coating was widely used in oil or gas transmission pipelines in the world. Special HDPE (SHDPE) was used in the outer layer of 3PE coating, which is very important to the performance of the whole coating system. However, till to now fewer study about SHDPE crystallization have been reported. In this paper, the crystallization characteristic of SHDPE and 3PE coating were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC). The results showed that, the crystallinity and lamella thickness of SHDPE were decreased with the increase of cooling rate in fabrication process. Middle adhesion layer of 3PE coating accelerated nucleation and improved the crystallinity of the near zone PE layer. The skin region of 3PE coating had lowest crystallinity due to the highest cooling rate, and the crystallinity was increased from skin to core region of 3PE coating.
