Cure kinetics of a cobalt catalysed dicyanate ester monomer in air and argon atmospheres from DSC data
2004
A kinetic analysis of the cyclotrimerisation reaction of a dicyanate ester monomer catalysed by cobalt(II) acetylacetonate and nonylphenol in air and argon atmospheres has been carried out by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Dynamic and isothermal DSC scans as well as the glass transition temperature are the experimental data obtained. From isothermal scans a higher cyanate conversion in air than in argon was obtained. The cyanate conversions are satisfactorily described with a second-order kinetic equation in the kinetically controlled region, and by m-order (m<1) equation after vitrification is reached. Activation energies determined by different procedures agree among them, showi…
Particle surface area dependence of mineral dust in immersion freezing mode: investigations with freely suspended drops in an acoustic levitator and …
2014
Abstract. The heterogeneous freezing temperatures of supercooled drops were measured using an acoustic levitator. This technique allows one to freely suspend single drops in the air without any wall contact. Heterogeneous nucleation by two types of illite (illite IMt1 and illite NX) and a montmorillonite sample was investigated in the immersion mode. Drops of 1 mm in radius were monitored by a video camera while cooled down to −28 °C to simulate freezing within the tropospheric temperature range. The surface temperature of the drops was contact-free, determined with an infrared thermometer; the onset of freezing was indicated by a sudden increase of the drop surface temperature. For compari…
Comparative study on immersion freezing utilizing single-droplet levitation methods
2021
Immersion freezing experiments were performed utilizing two distinct single-droplet levitation methods. In the Mainz vertical wind tunnel, supercooled droplets of 700 µm diameter were freely floated in a vertical airstream at constant temperatures ranging from −5 to −30 ∘C, where heterogeneous freezing takes place. These investigations under isothermal conditions allow the application of the stochastic approach to analyze and interpret the results in terms of the freezing or nucleation rate. In the Mainz acoustic levitator, 2 mm diameter drops were levitated while their temperature was continuously cooling from +20 to −28 ∘C by adapting to the ambient temperature. Therefore, in this case th…
ANN Model to predict the bake hardenability of Transformation-Induced Plasticity steels
2009
Neural networks are useful tools for optimizing material properties, considering the material’s microstructure and therefore the thermal treatments it has undergone. In this research an artificial neural network (ANN) with a Bayesian framework able to predict the bake hardening and the mechanical properties of the Transformation-Induced-Plasticity (TRIP) steels was designed. The forecast ability of the ANN model is achieved taking into account the operating parameters involved in the Intercritical Annealing (IA), in the Isothermal Bainite Treatment (IBT) and also considering the different prestrain values and the volume fraction of the retained austenite before the Bake Hardening (BH) treat…
Gas—liquid chromatographic analyses
1984
Abstract The gas chromatography (GC) of n -alkyl acetates (CH 3 COOR), chloroacetates (CH 2 ClCOOR), dichloroacetates (CHCl 2 COOR) and trichloroacetates (CCl 3 COOR), where the alcohol chain length (R) varied between 1 and 8, and certain of their monochlorinated derivatives, 176 compounds altogether, has been studied on SE-30 and OV-351 glass capillary columns under the same operating conditions. The isomeric monochlorinated esters are eluted in direct order from the 1- chloro to the ω-chloro isomer, the separation of the isomers being complete on OV- 351. On SE-30, however, the peaks of the 6- and 7-chlorooctyl esters are partly overlapped. The separation of the mixtures of odd- and e…
Relations between compression and thermal contraction in 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene and melting of trichlorobenzene isomers
2015
The compression and thermal expansion of crystalline 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, C6H3Cl3, 124TCB, investigated under isobaric and isothermal conditions, are in reverse relation, as for most of crystals, however, the isochoric strain along direction c is clearly different from those along a and b. Single crystals of 124TCB have been in situ grown under isochoric and isobaric conditions, at 270 K/0.1 MPa and 295 K/0.16 GPa, and also at 100 K/0.1 MPa and 295 K/0.64 GPa, when the unit-cell volume is similar. All crystallizations yielded the same phase, of monoclinic space group P21/n, with two symmetry-independent molecules (Z′ = 2). The structure is governed by Cl⋯Cl and Cl⋯H interactions and the …
Application of solid-state electrochemistry techniques to polyfunctional organic–inorganic hybrid materials: The Maya Blue problem
2013
Abstract The time evolution of indigo plus palygorskite powdered mixtures during isothermal heating at different temperatures between 120 and 180 °C to form Maya Blue-type materials has been monitored by means of infrared spectrometry, diffuse reflectance spectrometry in the visible region and solid state electrochemical techniques. The kinetics of the formation process of such materials can be described in terms of two consecutive reactions, the first one consisting of the loss of zeolitic water of the palygorskite coupled with clay-indigo attachment and partial indigo to denydroindigo oxidation. The palygorskite dehydration acts as a rate-determining step fitting to a 3D Avrami-Erofe’ev k…
Effect of Experimental and Sample Factors on Dehydration Kinetics of Mildronate Dihydrate: Mechanism of Dehydration and Determination of Kinetic Para…
2014
The dehydration kinetics of mildronate dihydrate [3-(1,1,1-trimethylhydrazin-1-ium-2-yl)propionate dihydrate] was analyzed in isothermal and nonisothermal modes. The particle size, sample preparation and storage, sample weight, nitrogen flow rate, relative humidity, and sample history were varied in order to evaluate the effect of these factors and to more accurately interpret the data obtained from such analysis. It was determined that comparable kinetic parameters can be obtained in both isothermal and nonisothermal mode. However, dehydration activation energy values obtained in nonisothermal mode showed variation with conversion degree because of different rate-limiting step energy at hi…
Glass capillary gas chromatography of chlorinated methyl acetates, propanoates and butanoates on Carbowax 20M and SE-30 columns
1982
The gas chromatography of all chlorinated methyl acetates, methyl propanoates and methyl mono- and dichlorobutanoates has been studied on Carbowax 20M and SE-30 glass capillary columns under various running conditions. The order of elution on a non-polar column was largely determined by the boiling point of esters, whereas on a polar column it was much influenced by the structure of compounds. Complete separation of the combined mixture of all 27 compounds could not be achieved, however, methyl 3,3-dichlorobutanoate was the only ester overlapped on both columns in spite of the various column temperatures used. The best separation of the mixture was on Carbowax 20M with a temperature program…
Gas—liquid chromatographic analyses
1984
Abstract The gas choromatographic retention behaviour of veratrole and all nine chlorinated veratroles was studied on SE-30 and OV-351 capillary columns. Temperature programming from 100°C at 6°C min−1 and isothermal operation at 140, 160, 180 and 200°C were used. The complete separation of a mixture was obtained on SE-30, the isomers being eluted in order of their degree of chlorination. On OV-351, however, the 3,4,5-trichloro and tetrachloro isomers overlap with temperature programming, being separated at 140, 160 and 200°C. Retention indices and increments of retention indices for each position of substitution are examined and the effect of increasing temperature on retention is discusse…
