  • the effect of a secondary process on polymer crystallization kinetics 3 co poly lactic acid
    European Polymer Journal, 2017
    Co-Authors: Azizan A Aziz, Sani Amril Samsudin, Mike J Jenkins
    Abstract:

    Abstract The crystallization kinetics of a copolymer of l -lactic acid with 4% d -lactic acid has been studied using FTIR spectroscopy by measuring the absorbance of the crystalline carbonyl stretching band at 1759 cm−1. Copolymerization greatly reduced the rate of crystallization and the technique directly measured the relative crystallinity over extended periods with sufficient accuracy to test the validity of the Avrami Equation. This was modified to account for the simultaneous presence of a secondary process from the onset of crystallization, such that the overall fractional crystallinity, Xt, is related to the lapsed time, t, by. X t = X p , ∞ ( 1 - exp - Z p t n ) 1 + k s t 1 2 where Xp,∞ is the final fractional crystallinity achieved by the primary process, Zp is the primary composite rate constant incorporating nucleation and growth, and ks is the secondary rate constant. The additional crystallinity produced by the secondary processes is sufficient to account for the observed fractional constant n values on analysis of the total development of crystallinity with time. It was concluded that the analysis using the Avrami Equation should be restricted to the time dependence of the crystallinity produced by the primary process alone.

  • dynamic dsc characterization of epoxy resin by means of the Avrami Equation
    Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry, 1999
    Co-Authors: M. J. Shim, S. W. Kim
    Abstract:

    A phenomenological approach was used to characterize the cure processes of epoxy resins (a diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A and its modifier CTBN) from dynamic experiments by DSC. Various kinetic parameters were obtained by using a modified Avrami expression. The resulting overall activation energies for the two systems agreed very well with the published data in the whole cure temperature range. In contrast with the isothermal results and the general dynamic models, a change in the exponent and the non-linear temperature dependence of the rate constant were also observed.

  • Curing behavior of an unsaturated polyester system analyzed by Avrami Equation
    Thermochimica Acta, 1998
    Co-Authors: M. J. Shim, S. W. Kim
    Abstract:

    The isothermal cure behavior of an unsaturated polyester resin system is studied by differential scanning calorimetry. The reaction heats (at different curing temperatures) are presented and compared to the results of the previous studies. Various kinetic parameters as well as details of the curing process can be obtained and elucidated, based on the Avrami theory. The experimental results reveal that this analytical method is valid for describing the curing behavior of unsaturated polyester resins.
