Abstract

Here, we report on the theory of nucleation and growth of crystals in a metastable polymer melt with allowance for the polymerization of a monomer. A mathematical model consisting of the heat balance equation, equations governing the particle-radius distribution function and the polymerization degree is formulated. The exact steady-state analytical solutions are found. In the case of unsteady-state crystallization with polymerization, the particle-size distribution function is determined analytically for different space–time regions by means of the Laplace transform. Two functional integro-differential equations governing the dimensionless temperature and polymerization degree are deduced. These equations are solved by means of the saddle-point technique for the evaluation of a Laplace-type integral. The time-dependent distribution function, temperature and polymerization degree at different polymerization rates and nucleation kinetics are derived with allowance for the main contribution to the Laplace-type integral. In addition, the general analytical solution by means of the saddle-point technique and an example showing how to construct the analytical solutions in particular cases are given in the appendices. The analytical method developed in this paper can be used to describe the similar phase transition phenomena in the presence of chemical reactions.

Radiation-induced solid-state polymerization in an acrylamide-water system: The effect of phase transformations of metastable high-pressure ice VIII

Journal Article Kiryukhin, D.P. ; Barkalov, I.M. ; Barkalov, O.I. - High Energy Chemistry

A drastic suppression of the chain post polymerization process in the quenched high-pressure phase of an acrylamide-water eutectic mixture was observed upon warming of the samples irradiated with {gamma}-rays at 77 K. This effect is explained by dispersion of the samples in the temperature region of the transition of the quenched high-pressure phase into the equilibrium phase ({approximately}150K). The size of the resulting microcrystals of monomer was estimated to be approximately 0.1 {mu}m.
MnBi ₂ : A Metastable High-Pressure Phase in the Mn–Bi System [MnBi2: A Metastable High-Pressure Phase in the Mn–Bi System]

Journal Article Walsh, James P. S. ; Clarke, Samantha M. ; Puggioni, Danilo ; ... - Chemistry of Materials

Interacting heavy main group elements that are laden with spin–orbit coupling with transition metals, such as manganese, is a promising route toward the synthesis of new permanent magnets. In theory, this approach can be used to design magnets with large magnetic energy products by maximizing both coercive field and remnant magnetization. Powerful precedent for this approach resides in the intermetallic compound, MnBi, which was for a brief time in the 1950’s the most powerful magnetic material in the world. Creating new materials within this phase space is enabled by high-pressure synthesis, which is facilitated by recent advances in in situmore »« less

In situ Raman spectroscopy of pressure-induced phase transformations in polycrystalline TbPO ₄, DyPO ₄, and Gd _xDy _(1–x)PO ₄ [ In situ Raman spectroscopy of pressure-induced phase transformations in DyPO ₄ and Gd _xDy _(1–x)PO ₄]

Journal Article Musselman, Matthew A. ; Wilkinson, Taylor M. ; Haberl, Bianca ; ... - Journal of the American Ceramic Society

Xenotime DyPO ₄ and Gd _xDy _(1–x)PO ₄ (x = 0.4, 0.5, 0.6) (tetragonal I41amd zircon structure) have been studied at ambient temperature under high pressures inside a diamond anvil cell with in situ Raman spectroscopy. The typical Raman–active modes of the xenotime structure were observed at low pressures and the appearance of new Raman peaks at higher pressures indicated a phase transformation to a lower symmetry structure—likely monoclinic. Raman mode softening was observed, resulting in a line crossing at approximately 7–8 GPa for each material and preceding the phase transformation. The onset of phase transformation for DyPO ₄ occurredmore »« less

Polymerized ionic liquids: Effects of counter-anions on ion conduction and polymerization kinetics

Journal Article Chen, Mingtao ; Dugger, Jason W. ; Li, Xiuli ; ... - Journal of Polymer Science. Part A, Polymer Chemistry

A novel imidazolium–containing monomer, 1–[ω–methacryloyloxydecyl]–3–(n–butyl)–imidazolium (1BDIMA), was synthesized and polymerized using free radical and controlled free radical polymerization followed by post–polymerization ion exchange with bromide (Br), tetrafluoroborate (BF ₄), hexafluorophosphate (PF ₆), or bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (Tf ₂N). The thermal properties and ionic conductivity of the polymers showed a strong dependence on the counter–ions and had glass transition temperatures ( T _g) and ion conductivities at room temperature ranging from 10 °C to –42 °C and 2.09 × 10 ^–7 S cm ^–1 to 2.45 × 10 ^–5 S cm ^–1. In particular, PILs with Tf ₂N counter–ions showed excellent ion conductivitymore »« less

Equation of state, phase stability, and phase transformations of uranium-6 wt.% niobium under high pressure and temperature

Journal Article Zhang, Jianzhong ; Vogel, Sven C. ; Brown, Donald William ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

In-situ time-of-flight neutron diffraction experiments were conducted on the uranium-niobium alloy with 6 wt. % Nb (U–6Nb) at pressures up to 4.7 GPa and temperatures up to 1073 K. Upon static compression at room temperature, the monoclinic structure of U–6Nb (α" U–6Nb) remains stable up to the highest experimental pressure. Based on the pressure-volume measurements at room temperature, the least-squares fit using the finite-strain equation of state (EOS) yields an isothermal bulk modulus of B ₀ = 127±2 GPa for the α"-phase of U–6Nb. The calculated zero-pressure bulk sound speed from this EOS is 2.706±0.022 km/s, which is in goodmore »« less
