  • The role of conformational entropy of polymer chains in polymer crystallization is investigated by molecular modeling and theory. The entropy of folded loops dominates at experimentally relevant temperatures to dictate short equilibrium lamellar thicknesses, which are much smaller than the extended chain thickness. Also the entropic barriers control the kinetics of polymer crystallization. These results based on chain entropy are different from the classical views of how polymer chains crystallize.

  • Crystallization behaviour of blends of different MFI isotactic polypropylenes (PP), and blends of PP with carbon nanofibre have been investigated by DSC and polarizing optical microscope. Both higher MFI PP component and the carbon nanofibre in the blend influence the nucleation activity of the melt during non-isothermal crystallization. In presence of carbon nanofibre, the sherulitic growth rate is highly disturbed. The calculation of nucleation activity indicates that carbon nanofibres act as active substrate for heterogeneous nucleation.

  • We investigated the effects of Al2O3 addition on (1-x)Li2B4O7-xAl2O3 (LBAO; x = 0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05, 0.07, and 0.1) glasses. The glasses were synthesized by a conventional melt-quench method. Structural transformations of the LBAO glasses were assessed via X-ray diffraction analysis. Estimations of ΔT, KGS = (Tc-Tg)/(Tm-Tc), activation energy, and the Avrami parameter were performed using differential thermal analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. An interpretation of non-isothermal kinetics of the crystallization process is presented using the modified Ozawa equation. The activation energy E increased from 3.3 to 3.5 eV for the LBAO (x < 0.01) glasses whereas those of the LBAO (x > 0.05) glasses slightly increased from 3.75 to 4.05 eV. The exponent n was estimated to be 3.9 ± 0.1 for the LBAO (x < 0.01) glasses and 3.2 ± 0.02 for the LBAO (x > 0.05) glasses. Microstructural characterization of the glassy and crystalline phases using atomic force microscopy was investigated. The effects of Al2O3 on the LBAO glasses include a decreased nucleation rate in the crystallization process and a significantly reduced crystal size.

  • The correlation between liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and crystallization at several compositions in statistical copolymer blends of poly (ethylene-co-hexene) (PEH) and poly (ethylene-co-butene) (PEB) has been examined. In this case, the LLPS is coupled with the other ordering process, i.e. crystallization. The overwhelming change in the crystallization kinetics due to the composition fluctuation caused by the spontaneous spinodal LLPS is observed. This coupling mechanism suggests a new mechanism in the nucleation-crystallization process.

  • 지구가 마그마 바다 상태에서 현재의 층상화된 내부 구조로 분화되는 진화과정의 체계적인 이해를 위하여 규산염 용융체와 같은 비정질 산화물의 결정화과정 메커니즘 규명이 필요하다. 이를 위하여 결정화 과정에서 수반하는 용융체의 원자구조 변화를 실험적으로 측정하여 결정화 과정을 정량적으로 정립할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 고상 핵자기 공명 분광분석(NMR)을 이용하여 졸겔법으로 합성한 비정질 알루미나($Al_2O_3$)의 온도-가열 시간 변화에 따른 원자구조 변화로부터, 비정질-결정질 상전이 과정을 원자 단위에서 규명하였다. 비정질 $Al_2O_3$$^{27}Al$ 3QMAS NMR 실험 결과 다량의 배위수 4, 5의 알루미늄($^{[4,5]}Al$)과 소량의 배위수 6인 알루미늄($^{[6]}Al$)이 명확히 구분되어 관찰되었고, 973 K와 1,073 K에서 각각 가열시간을 증가시킬수록 배위수 5인 알루미늄($^{[5]}Al$)이 감소하였다. 본 연구에서는 $^{[5]}Al$의 분율을 결정화의 지표로 이용하여 $^{27}Al$ 3QMAS NMR 결과를 정량 분석하였다. 분석을 통해 점진적인 원자구조의 변화로 관찰되는 비정질 산화물의 상전이 과정이 결정화 혹은 비정질 내 구조적 무질서도의 변화와 같은 복합적인 단계로 구성될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 연구 결과는 다양한 자연계의 다성분계 규산염 용융체 결정화 과정 및 마그마 바다의 분화와 지구의 화학적 진화에 대한 원자 단위의 이해증진에 도움을 줄 것이다.
