Non-isothermal Crystallization of Polymers

چکیده
This paper is devoted to the study of mathematical problems arising in the modelling of nonisothermal polymer crystallization under industrial conditions. A review of the hybrid stochastic-deterministic modelling procedure, which yields an averaged model 5;8 , is given and supplied by the study of mathematical problems arising from it. Furthermore, multiple scale eeects in the crystallization process are studied using diierent scalings, focussing either on the heat conduction or on the crystallization part. It is shown that in the limit of fast nucleation and slow growth, the model is equivalent to a direct extension of the classical Avrami-Kolmogorov model equations. In addition, numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the behaviour during crystallization. Finally, open questions from mathematical and engineering view points are discussed.

The green blends of an ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-propylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide {[EPrI][TFSI]}, and a biodegradable polymer, poly(3hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), were investigated in this study. The influence of an ionic liquid on the crystallization behaviors of a biodegradable polymer was explored. In the blends, the presence of [EPrI][TFSI] decreased the Tg and Tm of PHB. Incor...

In the present research, the primary crystallization kinetics of the amorphous Fe85.3B11P3Cu0.7 alloy was analyzed using non-isothermal DSC measurements. The average and local activation energies, Ea, were determined by different isokinetic and isoconversional methods. The results obtained for activation energy in this research, show that due to the complexity of the primary crystallization pro...
