The isothermal crystallization behavior of blends of poly(ethylene terephthalate) and liquid crystalline polymers(LCP) was studied. The Avrami analyses were applied to obtain the information on the crystal growth geometry and factors controlling the rate of crystallization. The crystallization kinetics for the blends followed the classical Avrami equation up to a high degree of crystallization regardless of crystallization temperature, The values of Avrami exponent, n, for PET in the blends were estimated to be around 2, which indicate that the polymer crystals grow into one-dimensional linear or fiber-like crystallization mode. The crystallization rate, as expected, decreases with increasing the crystallization temperature.

Salting-out technique was adopted to crystallize dye crystals from dye solution. Solubility of dye solution and crystallization kinetics of Reactive Red 218 was investigated. Solubility of dye solution is decreased by higher KCl concentration. The empirical expressions of salting-out crystallization kinetics for Reactive Red 218 in continuous MSMPR crystallizer was $G=6.864{\times}10^{-5}{\Delta}C^{1.207}$ and $B^0=4.8{\times}10^{22}{\Delta}C[1.1{\times}10^{-13}+{({\Delta}C)}^{0.7}{M_T}^2]$.

The kinetics of isothermal crystallization in blends of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly(styrene-co-acrylic acid) (SAA) has been examined as a function of the blend ratio, the copolymer composition, and the crystallization temperature, based on the Avrami eauation. The Avrami exponents were mostly chose to 2, independent of the crystallization temperature. The crystallization rate of PEO in PEO/SAA blends decreased with the increase of SAA content. And also, the higher the acrylic acid content in the SAA copolymer, 7he slower the crystallization rate of PEO in the blends.

The reliability of innovative membrane contactors technology (i.e. Gas/Liquid Membrane Contactors, Membrane Distillation/Crystallization) is today increasing for seawater desalination processes, where traditional pressure-driven membrane separation units are routinely operated. Furthermore, conventional membrane operations can be integrated with membrane contactors in order to promote possible improvements in process efficiency, operational stability, environmental impact, water quality and cost. Seawater is the most abundant aqueous solution on the earth: the amount of dissolved salts covers about 3% of its composition, and six elements (Na, Mg, Ca, K, Cl, S) account for more than 90% of ionic species. Recent investigations on Membrane Distillation-Crystallization have shown the possibility to achieve significant overall water recovery factors, to limit the brine disposal problem, and to recover valuable salts (i.e. calcium sulphate, sodium chloride, magnesium sulphate) by combining this technology with conventional RO trains. In this work, the kinetics of $CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O,\;NaCl\;and\;MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ crystallization is experimentally investigated in order to improve the design of the membrane-based crystallization unit.

Salting-out technique was adopted to crystallize dye crystals from dye solution. In this research solubility of dye solution and crystallization kinetics of Reactive dye (RB-8, RB-49, RR-218) was investigated. The empirical expressions of salting-out crystallization kinetics for Reactive dye (RB-8, RB-49, RR-218) in continuous MSMPR crystallizer was RB-8 in crystal growth kinetics $G=7.1{\times}10^{-4}{\Delta}C^{0.67}$ and nucleation kinetics $B^0=3.1{\times}10^{15}{\Delta}C[1.2{\times}10^{-8}+{\Delta}C^{0.7}M_T{^2}]$, RB-49 in crystal growth kinetics $G=5.2{\times}10^{-4}{\Delta}C^{0.3441}$ and nucleation kinetics $B^0=7.2{\times}10^{15}{\Delta}C[3.3{\times}10^{-8}+({\Delta}C)^{0.7}M_T{^2}]$, RR-218 in crystal growth kinetics $G=4.4{\times}10^{-4}{\Delta}C^{0.2361}$ and nucleation kinetics $B^0=6.3{\times}10^{15}{\Delta}C[7.9{\times}10^{-8}+({\Delta}C)^{0.7}M_T{^2}]$. Also, comparison of calculated crystal size distribution applying to characteristic curve method with experimental crystal size showed good agreement.

A novel agglomeration technique, termed "Spherical Crystallization Process", which can transform directly the fine crystals produced in the crystallization or the reaction process into a spherical shape was developed. By this technique, needle like crystals such as salicylic acid were transformed into free flowing and directly compressible agglomerates. Sphericaly agglomerated aminophyline crystals were obtained directly from the reaction system, which could reduce the preparation processes, e. g. synthesis, crystallization and agglomeration, into only one step. Sodium theophyline monohydrate agglomerates were prepared by salting out, the rate process of which was described by a first order kinetics. Agglomerated crystals of ndw complex of indo-methacin-mepirizole were prepare with this technique; an improved therapeutic effect of the resultant crystals was expected. expected.

The crystallization kinetics of the $Cu_{43}Zr_{43}Al_7Be_7$ bulk metallic glass were studied by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) in the continuous heating and isothermal annealing modes. Only one major peak could be detected on the DSC traces of $Cu_{43}Zr_{43}Al_7Be_7$ bulk amorphous alloy, and the activation energy for crystallization corresponding to the peak determined by the Kissinger method was resulted of 239 kJ/mol. The isothermal kinetic, analyzed by the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami equation yielded values for the Avrami exponents in the range 1.69 to 2.37, which implied a crystallization governed by a three-dimensioned growth. Primary phases were essentially the cubic structure CuZr together with the $Cu_{10}Zr_7$ phase. At higher temperature, the CuZr disappeared while the $Cu_{10}Zr_7$ became predominant. After long term annealing at 731 K, the phases were $Cu_{10}Zr_7$, $Cu_2ZrAl$ and $Al_3Zr_5$.

Joule heat is generated by applying an electric filed to a conductive layer located beneath or above the amorphous silicon film, and is used to raise the temperature of the silicon film to crystallization temperature. An electric field was applied to an indium tin oxide (ITO) conductive layer to induce Joule heating in order to carry out the crystallization of amorphous silicon. Polycrystalline silicon was produced within the range of a millisecond. To investigate the kinetics of Joule-heating induced crystallization (JIC) solid phase crystallization was conducted using amorphous silicon films deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition and using tube furnace in nitrogen ambient. Microscopic and macroscopic uniformity of crystallinity of JIC poly-Si was measured to have better uniformity compared to that of poly-Si produced by other methods such as metal induced crystallization and Excimer laser crystallization.

We investigate the solid phase crystallization of amorphous Si films on glass substrates under alternating magnetic field induction. The kinetics of crystallization are found to be greatly enhanced by alternating magnetic field. While complete crystallization takes heat treatment of more than 14 hours at 570$^{\circ}C$, it can be reduced by applying the megnetic field to 20 minutes. It is assumed that the enhancement of crystallization is associated with an electromotive force voltage generated by alternating magnetic field. This electric field applied in the amorphous Si may possibly be the reason for acceleration of the atomic mobility of crystallization through the modification of atomic potentials

The crystallization behavior of homo polypropylene (PP) and PP in the PP-poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone) (PCL) blends during isothermal crystallization has been investigated using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and advanced rheometric expansion system (ARES). From the storage modulus data of the homo PP and PP-PCL blends during isothermal crystallization, the volume fraction of crystallized material ($X_t$) of the homo PP and PP in the PP-PCL blends was calculated using the various rheological models. The results of $X_t$ of the homo PP and PP in the PP-PCL blends from ARES measurement were compared with the results from DSC. The $X_t$ of the homo PP was found to be higher in the ARES measurement than in the DSC. The crystallization rate of the homo PP was found to be faster in the rheological measurements than in the thermal analysis. The $X_t$ of PP in the PP-PCL blends with various compositions was obtained from the thermal analysis and rheological measurements. The $X_t$ of PP in the PP-PCL blends obtained from the thermal analysis and rheological measurements are not consistent. This discrepancy of $X_t$ may be due to the morphological changes resulted from the different crystallization kinetics of PP in the PP-PCL blends.
