A series of random poly(ethylene-co-1,4-butylene terephthalate)s (PEBTs), as well as poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and poly(1,4-butylene terephthalate) (PBT), were synthesized by the bulk polycondensation. Their composition, molecular weight, and thermal properties were determined. All the copolymers are crystallizable, regardless of the compositions, which may originate from both even-atomic-numbered ethylene terephthalate and butylenes terephthalate units that undergo inherently crystallization. Non-isothermal crystallization exotherms were measured over the cooling rate of 2.5-20.0 K/min by calorimetry and then analyzed reasonably by the modified Avrami method rather than the Ozawa method. The results suggest that the primary crystallizations in the copolymers and the homopolymers follow a heterogeneous nucleation and spherulitic growth mechanism. However, when the cooling rate increases and the content of comonomer unit (ethylene glycol or 1,4-butylene glycol) increases, the crystallization behavior still becomes deviated slightly from the prediction of the modified Avrami analysis, which is due to the involvement of secondary crystallization and the formation of relatively low crystallinity. Overall, the crystallization rate is accelerated by increasing cooling rate but still depended on the composition. In addition, the activation energy in the non-isothermal crystallization was estimated.

에틸렌-테트라플르오르에틸렌(ETFE) 공중합체의 비등온 결정화 거동을 DSC와 imaging FTIR을 이용하여 살펴보았다. 변형 비등온 Avrami 분석 결과, DSC에 의한 열분석의 경우 상대적으로 적은 결정화 엔탈피 변화로 인하여 Avrami 식에 의한 ln[-ln(1-X(t))] vs. ln(t) 곡선이 선형을 이루지 못하는 반면, 결정화에 의한 IR 흡수 강도 image의 변화에 의한 분석 방법인 imaging FTIR의 경우보다 선형적인 결과를 얻음에 따라 imaging FTIR이 ETFE 비등온 결정화 연구에 보다 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 이와 함께 비등온 결정화에 의한 ETFE의 광학특성을 살펴본 결과, 서냉에 의하여 형성된 ETFE 결정의 빛 산란에 의하여 haze가 증가하며 따라서 투명도가 감소함을 알 수 있으며 비등온 결정화에 의하여 최대 8%의 투과도 감소가 일어남을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과로부터 결정화를 조절하는 냉각속도가 유리 대체 소재로 사용되고 있는 ETFE 필름의 광투과도 조절에 주요한 가공 변수임을 확인할 수 있었다.

The grafting reaction for maleic anhydride (MA) onto high density polyethylene (HDPE) was investigated from solution process with initiators. The chemical modification of neat HDPE was carried out with various contents of MA (3-21 wt.%) and initiator (0.2-1 wt.%) at different temperature ($80-130^{\circ}C$). The grafting degree was obtained from the titration and the highest grafting degree was 3.1%. The grafting degree increased as the content of MA and initiator increased, however, the highest grafting degree was demonstrated for a particular content of MA and initiator. In the non-isothermal crystallization kinetics, the Ozawa model was unsuitable method to investigate the crystallization behavior of MA onto HDPE, whereas the Avrami and Liu models found effective. The crystallization rate was accelerated as the cooling rate increased, but postponed by combination of MA onto neat HDPE backbone.

폴리프로필렌(polypropylene, PP)/옥수수전분(corn starch) 마스터뱃취(MB)(전분 MB) 블렌드를 PP 함량을 90, 80, 70, 60 wt%로 변화시키며 실험실 규모의 Brabender mixer를 이용하여 $200^{\circ}C$에서 제조하였다. PP/전분MB 블렌드의 화학구조, 기초 열적특성 및 비등온결정화거동을 적외선분광기 (FT-IR), 시차주사열용량분석기(DSC) 그리고 열중량분석기(TGA)를 이용하여 관찰하였다. PP/전분MB 블렌드의 제조는 수산기의 존재여부를 통해 확인하였다. 용융온도 및 엔탈피에는 큰 변화가 나타나지 않음을 알 수 있었고, 블렌드의 분해온도는 전분MB 함량에 따라 감소하고 있음을 보여주었다. PP/전분MB 블렌드의 비등온결정화 거동은 Avrami 방정식을 이용하여 분석하였다. Avrami 지수의 경우 PP는 2.71-3.97의 값을 나타내었고, PP/전분MB 블렌드의 경우는 1.48-1.99 값을 보여주었다. 활성화에너지는 Kissinger 방법에 의해서 계산되었고, PP의 경우 233 kJ/mol, PP90은 484 kJ/mol, PP80은 541 kJ/mol, PP70은 553 kJ/mol, 그리고 PP60은 422 kJ/mol이었다.

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.

본 연구에서는 생체분해성 폴리에스터 계열의 glycolide, L-lactide 및 ${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone 단량체를 이용하여 2단계 중합법에 의한 삼원 공중합체를 제조하여, DSC를 이용한 비등온 결정화 거동을 고찰하였다. 보다 더 정확한 거동을 검토하기 위하여 Avrami 식과 Ozawa 식을 조합하여 비등온 결정화 거동을 고찰하였다. 과냉각도를 분석한 결과 PGCLA21의 값이 가장 큰 값을 보이고 있으며 L-lactide 함량이 증가함에 따라 과냉각도는 증가하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 수정된 Avrami 식을 이용하여 다양한 냉각속도에서 비등온 결정화 거동 결정화 속도 상수는 큰 경향을 보이고 있지 않는 것을 알 수 있었다. Avrami 및 Ozawa 식을 조합하여 특정한 상대적 결정화도에서의 냉각함수를 구한결과 L-lactide 함량이 증가하면서 PGCL과 비교시 결정화 속도를 향상시키는 역할을 하고 있는 것으로 여겨지는 반면 PGCLA41과 PGCLA21을 비교시 L-lactide 함량이 일정 이상 증가시 logF(T) 값이 큰 것을 확인 할 수 있는데 이는 동일한 결정을 얻는데 더 많은 냉각 속도를 필요로 한다는 것을 의미하며 결정화 속도 향상에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.

Poly (N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) groups were grafted onto a poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroryvalerate) (PHBV) backbone in order to modify its properties and synthesize a novel biocompatible copolymer. The crystallization behavior of PHBV and grafted PHBV was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized optical microscopy (POM). During the cooling-induced crystallization process, the crystallization temperature and the crystallization rate of the grafted PHBV decreased with increasing PVP weight fraction. On the heating scans of all grafted PHBV samples, a new crystallization exothermic peak appeared at almost the same temperature, suggesting the operation of a recrystallization process, while the melting temperature ($T_m$) and the apparent enthalpy of fusion (${\Delta}H_f$) were not affected by graft modification. During the isothermal crystallization process at the same temperature, the presence of side PVP groups decreased the spherulitic growth rate and the spherulitic band spacing with increasing PVP weight fraction in samples.

화력 발전소에서 발생하는 석탄 바닥재에 $Na_2O$와 $Li_2O$가 첨가된 결정화 유리를 제조하고, 비등온 열분석법을 이용하여 결정성장 거동을 분석하였다. 온도에 따른 결정화 분율 및 결정화 속도 변화를 계산한 결과, 결정화가 50% 진행된 온도는 DTA 상의 결정 발열피크 $T_p$ 보다 약간 높게 나타났으며, 결정화가 가장 빠르게 진행되는 온도는 $T_p$와 거의 일치함을 알 수 있었다. Kissinger 식을 이용하여 결정화 활성화 에너지(262 kJ/mol), Avrami 상수 (1.7) 그리고 진동수 ($5.7{\times}10^{16}/s$)를 계산하였으며, 이로부터 nepheline 결정 성장은 주로 1~2 차원적 표면 결정화 경향을 보이지만, 동시에 내부 결정화도 어느 정도 나타날 것으로 예측되었다. 실제 미세구조 관찰에서 수지(dendrite)상의 표면 결정화가 상당히 일어났고 동시에 낮은 분율의 내부 결정도 생성된 것이 확인되어, Kissinger식에 의해 예측된 결과가 본 연구에서 제조된 결정화 유리의 거동과 일치함을 알 수 있었다.

The structural changes viewed from the molecular level have been investigated for the isothermal crystallization phenomena of polyethylene (PE) and the solvent-induced crystallization phenomenon of syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) glassy sample. The data, which were collected by the time-resolved measurements of Fourier-transform infrared spectra, Raman spectra, synchrotron-sourced small-angle X-ray scattering, wide-angle X-ray scattering, and so on, were combined together to extract the detailed structural information in these phase transition phenomena. In the case of PE, the isothermal crystallization from the melt to the orthorhombic form was found to occur via the conformationally-disordered trans chain form, followed by the formation of the lamellar stacking structure of regular orthorhombic-type crystals. In the case of sPS, the amorphous chains in the glassy sample were found to enhance the mobility through the interaction with the injected solvent molecules, which act as a trigger to cause the conformational ordering from the random coil to the regular T$_2$G$_2$-type helical form. The thus created short helical segments were found to grow into longer helices, which gathered together to form the crystallites, as revealed by the organized coupling of the infrared, Raman and X-ray scattering data.

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 $Al_3Zr_5$.
