Poly (ethylene oxide), PEO, which was used for a wide variety of applications is a flexible, crystalline, thermoplastic, water-soluble and non-ionic polymer. The most of studies on surfactant-modified activated carbon (SM-PAC) have been generally focused on the removal of contaminants. This study aims the preparation of PEO/(SM-PAC) composites, using solution-intercalation method. Firstly activated carbon was modified with cationic surfactant, Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide (CTAB). Then PEO/(SM-PAC) composites were prepared using solution-intercalation method, with two different (SM-PAC) contents (1.0 and 2.0 wt.%). The characterization of the composites was made by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermal analysis and tensile tests. The XRD patterns revealed that 2θ positions of the broad peaks belonging to the composites significantly shift to left compared with those of virgin PEO. The SEM images of the surfactant-modified powdered activated carbon (SM-PAC)/PEO composites prepared with the two different SM-PAC contents show that there is an intensive interaction between the CTA^{+} ions of modified activated carbon surface and the polymer chains. From the tensile tests, it was found that the unmodified powdered activated carbon dispersed into the polymer matrix made the ductile polymer more brittle. However, the tensile and yield strengths of the composite, prepared with modified powdered activated carbon, have decreased, and the strain percent value has significantly increased.

In this study, the synthesis of aniline-formaldehyde resin, and its thermal and structural characterization, as well as the preparation and characterization of the resin-organoclay composites were carried out. For this, first, at 70°C and acidic conditions the aniline formaldehyde prepolymer was prepared and then cured at 120°C under vacuum. The structural and thermal characterization of the resin was made using FTIR and DSC techniques. By using the Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide modified Montmorillonite (OMMT) and the synthesized resin, the resin-organoclay composites were prepared by melt intercalation method. Characterization of the resin-organoclay composites prepared with the different ratios of organoclay is made with the same techniques. The FTIR and thermal analysis results of the composites indicate that a cross-linked polymeric matrix was formed. The thermal behavior of the composites has also significantly changed compared to pure resin.

Selected alloys from the Fe-Al system are included into a group of materials on a matrix of intermetallic phases, and characteristic properties result from it and they constitute a resultant between properties of superalloys and ceramic materials. These materials are characterized, inter alia, by capacity for operating at elevated temperatures, as well as good strength related properties and resistance to oxidation and corrosion at an increased temperature. In addition, a low cost of alloy components and low density caused by aluminium content are their advantages. The basic reasons limiting application of alloys from Fe-Al system as construction materials are current: their low plasticity at room temperature, propensity for brittle cracking, low resistance at elevated temperature, and insufficient creep resistance. This unfavorable characteristics may be improved by adding to alloys such elements as molybdenum, zirconium, carbon, and boron, reducing the size of grains, increasing their purity, stabilizing the solid solution, and causing changes in phase transition temperatures. These alloys may be successfully manufactured by classic melting accompanied with refinement remelting, and ingot casting. In spite of additions and microadditions, grain refining of the initial structure of ingots manufactured in that way is rarely achieved, mainly because of low castability and high casting contraction. In this work we presented the results of structure analysis and investigations of the dilatometric study alloys on the base Fe-Al system. The alloys were obtained by classic casting technique. The studies were carried out on samples after casting and annealing. The phase transformation and thermal expansion investigations of the alloys from Fe-Al system with concentration of Fe-58Al were presented. The linear thermal expansion α was calculated by standard method. The α coefficient was noticed as a temperature function.

Clay is one of the most used natural materials in the ceramic industry with various applications such as pottery, tiles, cement and bricks. The latter are used as a building material because of their excellent thermal and mechanical properties. In the present study, Algerian clay from Al-maathed area, M'sila district, was used to prepare bricks. The chemical composition of the clay was determined using X-ray fluorescence. Firing of clay was carried out in the temperature range 20-1000°C, at different heating rates. The present phases and their transformations, the activation energy, and the sintering mechanism were evaluated using X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and dilatometry. The activation energy for the sintering mechanism obtained from non-isothermal treatments is 420 kJ/mol. The value of the Avrami exponent, n, is determined from the shape of the crystallization exothermic dependence. It is related to m parameter (a numerical factor which depends on the dimensionality of crystal growth) obtained by Matusita method. Both of which are about 1.2 for clay sintering. These values indicate that bulk nucleation is dominant in clay sintering by three-dimensional growth, with polyhedron-like morphology controlled by interface reaction.

In this paper there are presented results of high resolution transmission electron microscope investigation concerning the structure of the Zn-Al-Si cast zinc alloy with Sr addition for crystal structure refinement after thermo-derivative analysis performed using the universal metallurgical simulator and analyzer platform. The thermo-derivative analysis allows to determine the specific points of the solidifying alloy, which is helpful for phase determination and proper heat treatment condition determination, allowing to reduce the energy costs and obtaining higher mechanical and functional properties. Using transmission electron microscopy, especially selected area diffraction method appliance it was possible to determine the phases occurring in the alloy in the state after chemical composition modification as well as after appliance of very precisely controlled cooling rate. The morphology and size of the microstructure of micro-sized eutectic was possible to determine as well the lattice parameters of the Zn α -phase. Particularly the overview will be also directed on the high resolution transmission electron microscope to achieve good insight into the structural changes on the atomic scale.

Amorphous Y_{50}Cu_{42}Al_8 ribbon was prepared by melt-spinning technique on the Cu wheel. The crystallisation process was analysed by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. Differential scanning calorimetry curves characterising two crystallisation stages of Y_{50}Cu_{42}Al_8 alloy were measured in non-isothermal dynamic mode at different heating rates. Activation energies of both steps of crystallisation process were acquired by the Kissinger method and are equal to 570± 56 and 290±29 kJ/mol for the first and second stage, respectively. By annealing the ribbon at a given temperature for various times the nanocrystalline phase grains of the sizes of about 40 nm in diameter were created. The influence of the annealing temperature on the grain size evolution was also examined.

Recently PF resins can be also prepared by the addition of urea because urea accelerates cure process of PF resin, reduces the cost and improves its strength performance. Clays have long been used as inorganic fillers in polymer systems because of low cost, availability and improved thermal properties of resulting polymer composites. Clay nanocomposites of different types yield a marked increase in a number of properties of thermoplastic and other resins and composites. This study investigates the variation of thermal properties of PUF/colored organoclay nanocomposites with increased colored clay ratio. For this the DSC, XRD, FT-IR and HRTEM analyses were made. The XRD patterns and HRTEM images showed that clay platelets were exfoliated at the lower contents of organoclay, whereas at the higher content of organo clay tactoids were observed. The XRD analysis results implied that the amorphous behaviour increased with increased content of colored organoclay. The DSC thermograms indicated that glassy transition temperature (T_{g}) was increased, appearing prominent crystallization peaks at the lower ratios of organoclay. The T_{g} value was partially decreased and the peak intensities gradually decreased with increased content of clay. The thermogram for composite with clay content of 20% was similar to the thermogram of virgin resin. This can be attributed to the shifting of the textural structure for this composite from prominent crystalline structure to amorphous one.

The sol-gel method, which is among the methods used for the production of ThO₂-UO₂ mixed oxide fuel pellets, allows a high degree of micro-homogeneity of uranium and thorium in the solution stage. The present study seeks to develop an alternative method in order to produce mixed thorium-uranium dioxide fuel pellets, prepared by internal gelation technique of sol-gel process. The study also aims to investigate shrinkage behavior and first-stage sintering kinetics of pellets compacted in the Ar-5%H₂ atmosphere using a dilatometer. The chemical and physical properties such as density, homogeneity, O/M ratio, metallic impurities, unit cell parameters, phase contents and surface area of powders, that have different compositions of thoria-urania, were studied. The influences of sintering parameters on the characteristics of microspheres and on the properties of sintered pellets are discussed.

The effective activation energies, characteristic crystallization temperatures and enthalpies of amorphous RMn_{4.5}Ge_{4.5}Fe_{1.5}Al_{1.5} (R = Y, La, Dy) alloys produced using melt-spinning technique were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. X-ray diffraction measurements were performed for as-quenched and annealed samples. The crystalline structure of annealed YMn_{4.5}Ge_{4.5}Fe_{1.5}Al_{1.5} and DyMn_{4.5}Ge_{4.5}Fe_{1.5}Al_{1.5} alloys was determined as orthorhombic TbFe_6Sn_6-type with Cmcm (63) space group. The alloy with Y appears as a more useful non-magnetic analogue for DyMn_{4.5}Ge_{4.5}Fe_{1.5}Al_{1.5} than the La-based alloy. The differential scanning calorimetry curves for Dy- and Y-based alloys also exhibit similar thermal behavior. The effective activation energies E_a were determined using the Kissinger approach and high values up to 778±74 kJ/mol for La-based sample were established. The comparison of Y-, La-, and Dy-based alloys suggests improvement of thermal stability with the increase in rare-earth element atomic radius in the glassy RMn_{4.5}Ge_{4.5}Fe_{1.5}Al_{1.5} systems.

Recently, it is common application to use particle materials as fillers to improve engineering properties and lower the cost of finished product. Pumice powder is cheaper than most of traditional particle fillers, however use of pumice powders as a reinforcing material in composites has not been studied in literature. Hence, in this study we have investigated the mechanical and the thermal properties of pumice powder filled polyphenylenesulphide (PPS) composites. PPS composites were reinforced with pumice powder at different loading rates (0, 1, 3.5, and 10 wt%) and they were manufactured by twin screw extruder and injection molding machine. Thermal properties were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimeter methods. Moreover, mechanical properties such as barcol hardness, tensile strength, and modulus of samples were investigated. Thermal properties of composite samples have varied significantly depending on the loading rate. Also mechanical properties of pumice powder filled PPS composites have showed better results than pure PPS. According to test results both of mechanical and thermal properties of composites have improved with pumice powder reinforcement and it is determined that pumice powders can be used instead of traditional particle fillers.

The effect of ethylene partial pressure and temperature on the hydrocarbon decomposition rate was studied. As a catalyst, a triply promoted iron catalyst (with addition of small amounts of potassium, calcium and alumina oxides) was used. The mean crystallites size was ca. 17 nm. The processes were performed using pure ethylene or ethylene-nitrogen mixture under atmospheric pressure at the temperature range from 400 to 460°C. The growth of carbon mass as a function of reaction time was measured using a thermobalance. The phase composition of the samples after ethylene decomposition was determined using X-ray diffraction technique. The reaction rate was independent of ethylene partial pressure in the range from 0.25 to 1 bar. The maximal carbon yield for given experimental conditions was estimated.

In the present study, the kinetics of meta-kaolinite (Al₂O₃·2SiO₂) formation from Algerian Tamazarte kaolin was investigated by using differential thermal analysis. The differential thermal analysis and the thermogravimetric experiments were carried out on samples between room temperature and 1400°C, at heating rates from 10 to 40°C min¯¹. X-ray diffraction was used to identify the phases present in the samples. The activation energies measured by differential thermal analysis from isothermal and non-isothermal treatments using Johnson-Mehl-Avrami methods with Ligero approximation and using Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose methods were around 145 and 159 kJ/mol, respectively. The Avrami parameter n which indicates the growth morphology parameters were found to be almost equal to 1.60, using non-isothermal treatments, and equal to 1.47 using isothermal treatments. The numerical factor which depends on the dimensionality of crystal growth was 1.60 obtained using Matusita et al. equation. The frequency factor calculated using the isothermal treatment is equal to 1.173× 10⁷ s¯¹. Analysis of the results have shown that bulk nucleation was dominant during kaolinite transformation, followed by three-dimensional growth of meta-kaolinite with polyhedron-like morphology, controlled by diffusion from a constant number of nuclei.

This paper reports the results of a short investigation on the effect of Cu additions upon the nanocrystallization behaviour of an Al-Mm-Ni alloy. 2 at.%Cu added to a base alloy of Al_{85}Mm_{10}Ni_5 alloy by substitution for Mm (mischmetal). The control of cooling rate did not cause the formation of nanocrystals of fcc-Al phase. The nanocrystalline structure fcc-Al + amorphous phase in quarternary alloy was obtained by isothermal annealing and continuous heating method, but the last technique is more effective. The volume fraction, lattice parameter, and size of Al-phase were calculated.

Thermal analysis techniques remain important tools amongst the large variety of methods used for analysis of the precipitation and dissolution of the Guinier-Preston zone and metastable phase θ' in Al-3wt% Cu. In the present study, the kinetics of precipitation and dissolution of the Guinier-Preston zone and metastable phase θ' in Al-3wt% Cu was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry carried out between room temperature and 430°C at heating rates of 20, 25, and 30°C min¯¹. The activation energies evaluated through isothermal differential scanning calorimetry treatment using the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami theory were 25, 100, and 80 kJ mol¯¹ for the Guinier-Preston zone precipitation, formation of θ'/θ and dissolution of θ', respectively. The Avrami constant n obtained by the Ligero method was about 1.5 for the formation of θ'/θ indicating that bulk nucleation is dominant in θ'/θ formation controlled by diffusion from a constant number of nuclei.

Poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS) is one of the high-performance engineering polymers and it exhibits superior behavior, such as electrical insulation, dimensional and thermal stability, chemical resistance for various industrial applications. In addition to this, PPS has a high degree of crystallinity and it maintains these properties at high temperatures. These advantageous properties of PPS can be dependent on its chemical structure, composed of phenyl groups linked by a sulfur atom, which gives rigidity to the polymer chains. Owing to these properties, PPS is widely used in electrical and electronic components, automobile industry and mechanical applications. On the other hand, brittleness of PPS restricts its further applications. For this reason, ethylene-acrylic ester-glycidyl methacrylate terpolymer (Lotader®-AX8900) was used to overcome the brittleness of PPS. The effects of terpolymer addition on the thermal and thermomechanical properties of blends were investigated in this study. PPS/Lotader (0, 2, 5, 10 wt.% Lotader®) blends of various compositions were prepared. The blends were prepared by using laboratory scale micro compounder and injection molding machine. Thermomechanical and thermal properties of blends were investigated by means of dynamic mechanic analysis and differential scanning calorimeter test methods. As a result of this study, it was found that increasing loading level of Lotader® significantly decreased the crystallinity and increased glass transition temperature of PPS. On the other hand, Lotader® addition did not affect the melting temperature of PPS considerably. Results of dynamic mechanic analysis test revealed that while damping factor peak and loss modulus values of blends increased with the addition of Lotader®, storage modulus of blends decreased with the increasing loading level of Lotader®. When all test results are considered, it can be concluded that Lotader addition changes the brittle nature of PPS to ductile nature. In addition to this, 2 wt.% Lotader addition to PPS enables the optimum ductility for PPS without deteriorating its other properties.

The kinetics of spinel (Al-Si) crystallization from Algerian halloysite (DD1) was investigated using differential thermal analysis. Experiments were carried out on samples between room temperature and 1400°C with constant heating rate from 2 to 20°C min¯¹. The activation energies measured from isothermal and non-isothermal treatments were 1054.85 and 1140 kJ mol¯¹, respectively, for the spinel (Al-Si) formation. The Avrami constant n obtained by the Ligero method and the m parameter obtained by the Matusita method were about 2 for spinel crystallization. This value indicates that the crystallization mechanism of Al-Si spinel phase proceeds by bulk nucleation of the phase formation with a constant number of nuclei and that the three-dimensional growth of crystals is controlled by diffusion.

In this study, the mechanism and the kinetic parameters of the thermal decomposition of gibbsite Al(OH)₃ were studied by differential thermogravimetry technique under non-isothermal conditions, between room temperature and 1200 K at heating rates of 5, 10, 15 and 20°C min¯¹. The obtained differential thermogravimetry curves show clearly three distinct peaks. The first peak is due to the partial dehydroxylation of gibbsite. Among the 32 types of differential equations of non-isothermal kinetics, we have found that the most suitable mechanism is (A_{3/2}: g(x)=[-ln(1-x)]^{2/3}) also called Avrami-Erofeev equation of order 2/3. The values of the activation energy E_{A} and of the pre-exponential factor K are 157 kJ mol¯¹ and 7.58×10¹⁵ s¯¹, respectively. The second peak corresponds to the decomposition of gibbsite to boehmite. Decomposition is controlled by the rate of second-order reaction (F₂: g(x)=(1-x)¯¹-1), under the applied conditions. The activation energy E_{A} and pre-exponential factor K correspond to 243 kJ mol¯¹ and 3.73×10²² s¯¹, respectively. The third peak is due to transformation of boehmite to alumina. However the mechanism for such transformation is better described by the 3/2 rate order reaction (F_{3/2}: g(x)=(1-x)^{-1/2}-1). In addition, the values of E_{A} and K were determined to be around 296 kJ mol¯¹ and 1.82×10¹⁹ s¯¹, respectively. The results of differential thermogravimetry were supplemented by the differential thermal analysis. X-ray powder diffraction analysis was carried out for samples of gibbsite treated at different temperatures between 200 and 1200°C in 200°C steps.

In the current study, the effect of boron waste addition on some properties of fly ash based glass and glass-ceramics were investigated. The powder compositions including 10, 30, and 50 wt% boron waste was prepared. All the investigated compositions were melted at 1500C by using electrical furnaces. Melting structures were cast into the graphite mold. Thus, fly ash-boron waste based glass materials were produced. To transform the glass-ceramic, crystallization process was performed. Crystallization and glass-transition temperatures were determined by differential thermal analysis. Highly dense and crystalline materials, predominantly composed of diopside and augite together with tincalconite and residual glassy phase, were detected by X-ray diffraction analysis after heat treatment at 800, 900, and 1000C for 1 h. For the glass and glass-ceramic samples, mechanical tests such as hardness and fracture toughness were realized. A boron waste addition has a positive effect on the hardness of the specimens unlike the fracture toughness results. Furthermore, produced glass-ceramic materials were characterized via scanning electron microscopy.

Alkoxy sol-gel technique is an important preparation method for production of rare-earth based phosphors. Crystallization of gel provides a way to prepare phosphors on lower working temperatures than those required for the solid state reactions. CaSiO_3 gel samples were obtained through hydrolysis-condensation reactions of tetraethylorthosilicate as silica source. In this work we studied the process of crystallization of Eu^{3+}-activated CaSiO_3 gel and decomposition of organic precursors by means of thermal analysis and infrared spectroscopy. Results of scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersion spectrometry are used to check chemical composition and morphology of synthesized material. Emission spectra and emission lifetime measurements are performed to investigate luminescence properties of Eu^{3+} doped CaSiO_3 powder.
