solidification process of the polymer in the mold is similar to the quench of a slab, due to sudden
contact between the mold cold su rfaces and the hot polymer. Figures 6 and 7 show comparative
curves of the mea- sured and modeled relative crystallinity evolution, under isothermal and constant
cooling rate conditions. Any additional data relevant to this study are available from the author upon

underlying mechanisms induced by short optical pulses. The powders obtained were subjected to
different levels of water adsorption, and Tg was identified from MDSC measurements. This
experimental procedure is schematically illustrated in Figure 3. For this study, the PVT experimental

Scherrer equation). The decoration was performed by exposing the CNW substrates directly to the
nanoparticles beam, in the MSGA setup. As PhD students, we found it difficult to access the research
we needed, so we decided to create a new Open Access publisher that levels the playing field for
scientists across the world. The processing chamber is part of a horizontal furnace (model CY-

homogeneous in the whole system, i.e. me- tallic block and polymer plate, and an initial pressure P 0
is fixed. This mix of phases probably leads to the slightly asymmetric reflections in the
corresponding XRD pattern shown at the bottom of Figure 6 a. Although it is possible to identify the
mentioned complex thermal events with a regular DSC coupled to a supercooling system, it is not
possible to differentiate the reversible from the non-reversible, since only one signal is acquired.
MDSC takes advantage of the modulation of temperature for calculating the heat capacity of the
sample during the same experiment, while it does not require cooling during modulation. Solvent-

Liebenberg and Nicole Stieger 2,255 1 2. Specifically, we want to show the benefits of the so-called
modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC). In this multiphysical coupled model, all the
thermophysical parameters are temperature dependant. Our Authors and Editors We are a community
of more than 103,000 authors and editors from 3,291 institutions spanning 160 countries, including
Nobel Prize winners and some of the world’s most-cited researchers. Although the model geometry is

reduces to a 1D case.
The determination of the crystallinity in the pharmaceutical industry is very important in the quality
control of raw materials, intermediate products, and final products, and to test the effectiveness of
technological procedures for processing control. In detail, the XRD results suggest an intracrystalline
phase transition from vo-GST to c-GST. In this paper, a complete experimental thermal
characterization of a semi-crystalline polymer is performed. The text is divided into four sections and
the conclusions. This technique is preferred over DSC to determine the Tg of solid materials. MDSC
was employed for obtaining the heat capacity changes at the glass transition temperature in order to
get the thermodynamic fragility (mT) of both systems. Additionally, other parameters such as the
dynamic fragility (mD), heating rate dependence of Tg (mDTg), the mean relaxation time, and the
glass-forming ability (GFA) were calculated in order to establish the relevance of these parameters to
the crystallization of amorphous drugs. Since the following stage of the process does not take place
at constant volume but at constant pressure, the pre- sent mathematical model is no longer relevant.
Particularly, this work demonstrates different structural transformations, such as crystalline-to-
amorphous phase changes, interface-assisted epitaxial crystallization, and phase transformations
within crystalline phases. The articles in this book have been contributed by some of the most
respected researchers in this area and cover the frontier areas of research and developments in
crystallization processes. Figure 10 shows temperature evolutions across the polymer thickness ? ? p

quiescent crystallization kinetics theories. All authors have read and agreed to the published version
of the manuscript. Different transitions may overlap for a single component material, e.g., the
recrystallization and melting of a semicrystalline material. In contrast, the devitrification temperature
(Tdv) corresponds to the temperature at which crystallization in a formerly crystal-free glass solid
occurs. A modification of the Schneider rate crystallization equations is proposed, allowing to
identify in a simple way all the crystallization kinetics parameters, using only DSC measurements.
Feature papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the

of W4f, while in Figure 16 b the deconvolution for N1s specific region is presented. Herewith, the
experimental setup is represented by a horizontal furnace tube that allows simultaneous heating and
plasma ignition. Concerning the decoration process, it was proved to be very dependent on the
substrate position in the furnace. The correlation between the stability of dispersions and Tg is often
used to make judgments about the probable physical stability of amorphous systems. However, it is
still difficult to predict a relationship between Tg and the stability of dispersions, since for pure
amorphous solids, the Tg is unreliable in relation to the physical stability of the system. Hybrid

in the pharmaceutical industry is very important in the quality control of raw materials, intermediate
products, and final products, and to test the effectiveness of technological procedures for processing
control. In particular, it is found that crystalline interfaces serve as crystallization templates for
epitaxial formation of metastable cubic GST phase upon phase transitions. By adjusting solution
conditions to decrease the solubility of the product within the metastable zone, the desired molecules
can be pressured to come out of solution and crystallize. After treatment, the samples were then
allowed to cool down back to ambient condition by natural convection, in the horizontal furnace.
XRD patterns in the vicinity of the ( b ) c-GST (111) and ( c ) c-GST (222) reflections. In the non-
reversible flow, the heat flow curve is better defined through the kinetics events Tc, Tm, and Td.
Moreover, each laser pulse increases the crystalline fraction as can be seen by the incremental
increase in peak intensity of the c-GST (111) and c-GST (222) reflections ( Figure 5 b,c). However,
the standard DSC still presents some limitations that may reduce the accuracy and precision of
measurements. The different ways for combining the dispersion are employed to set the conditions
of the solubility and stability of the API. Theo Guenter Kieckbusch, Luiz Antonio Gioielli, Renato

Inulin with higher DP showed higher water content, since a large number of hydrogen bonds were
formed. The inset shows FFT pattern, confirming the formation of the c-GST phase. Journal of Low
Power Electronics and Applications (JLPEA). With the simultaneous TGA-DSC, it is possible to
differentiate the melting from the degradation when these events occur in a narrow range of
temperatures (e.g., in sugar-rich systems); the melting and degradation temperatures are largely
affected by the amount of water adsorbed. In this type of product, it is desirable that the initial state
of the drug remains unchanged during the lifetime of the product. Been thinking about
recrystallization recently, so it's a good time to turn back to this graph. I would like to recommend
the following IntechOpen book to be added to our library catalog. This table is completed with a bar
diagram, presented in Figure 9, in which the modifications regarding atomic concentrations, after
each treatment, are presented. From the obtained heat flow curves Figures 4 and 5, the relative
crystallinity was calculated from the partial area method (the area under the crystallization peak at in-
stant t over the total area of the peak), see further in Fig- ures 6 and 7. The method was based on the
linear response of the specific heat determined at the Tg of the amorphous content. The experimental
section involved the compaction of 18 pure small molecule compounds such as acetaminophen,
aspirin, carbamazepine III, ?-indomethacin, and ketoprofen, among others. Visit our dedicated
information section to learn more about MDPI. Thus, the determination of the actual value of these
properties is difficult, because the events may overlap or the signal may be very low to be properly
noticed. The TEM specimen was prepared from the laser irradiated area of GST thin film shown in
Figure 6 a. In the first case ( Figure 3 a), no laser intensity produced by the laser irradiation at low
fluence reaches the substrate, since the laser light is significantly absorbed by the thicker film and the
crystallization is expected to start from the surface of GST thin film. Hence, a simple mixing rule
was used to describe its evolution as a function of temperature and relative crystallinity, Equa- tion
(3): ? ???,1 a TT T. The larger crystals settle between the baffle and draft tube, as shown below, and
are removed in the product slurry, while the fines are recirculated after being redissolved in a heat
exchanger. In other words, the final physical structure is responsible for the thermal and mechanical
characteristics of the obtain- ed parts. However, the presence of an amorphous phase in a ground
material may affect the final shape of the thermogram by modifying its baseline and the occurrence
of other thermal exothermic events of less magnitude such as a devitrification event that contributes
to the overall melting enthalpy. Note that from the first issue of 2016, this journal uses article

endothermic peak was observed, which was attributed to the homogeneity of the thermal behavior
despite the heterogeneity in the fibrils’ length. Crystallization kinetics of homopolymers: bulk

W4f spectrum was fitted with Gaussian Lorentz Product (GLP) line shape, best fits of this peak
being obtained with GLP and a very low value of residual fit, where the energy splitting (2.18 eV)
and full width at half maximum (FWHM) fitting parameters were initially constrained and then
allowed to vary. Unlike DSC and TGA, where powders may be analyzed, the conventional DMA
measures the mechanical properties of viscoelastic solids and films subjected to a constant oscillatory
force or deformation. Regarding the CNW samples, before and after thermal treatment, when plasma
was used, the C1s percent decreases from 92.19% up to 51,78%. However, between these two
samples, the O1s percent shows a significant increase in the case of the treated sample (from 4.99%
observed in the control sample, up to 44.21%, the atomic percentage obtained for the CNW sample
after the thermal treatment, without powder source). In contrast with the results obtained without
plasma, the CNW decoration process performed in Ar plasma was effective for all working
temperatures. After the end of the crystallization, the polymer is in semi-crystalline phase, pressure is
stabilized, and the specific volume variations are mainly controlled by the temperature evo- lution.
Notwithstanding its inherently high complexity, the crystallization process is part of our everyday
lives, from ice making in our homes to the most state-of-the-art chemical and electronic industry. But

authors declare no conflict of interest. In this sense, MDSC was developed to overcome the
disadvantages of conventional DSC. The spe- cific volume evolution is another influencing
parameter which should be taken into account when modeling the cooling of semi-crystalline
polymers. The study of phase transitions has a large impact on different fields such as the food
industry, pharmaceutical industry, and polymers. First, the equations describing pressure evolution,
heat transfer and crystallization in the cavity are introduced. Con- sequently, the viscosity value
(taken here as 10 6 Pa) has no effect on the calculation results. For symmetry reasons, only one half
of the system is modeled. After the end of the crystallization, the polymer is in semi-crystalline
phase, pressure is stabilized, and the specific volume variations are mainly controlled by the
temperature evo- lution. For instance, in the injec- tion molding process (one of the most used in
polymer processing industry), crystallization kinetics directly in- fluences the part behavior regarding
both its dimensional stability and its mechanical and thermal performances. The student conducted
experiments to crystallize bromelain from clarified pineapple juice using different salts like
ammonium sulfate and acetone. Crystals can be organic or inorganic and may be produced from
melts, liquid solutions, vapors or even in solid state. Note that in this work, the pressure history is not
an input data, but a com- putational result. Figure 6 a shows the total heat flow curve for inulin,
while Figure 6 b shows two contributions of the total heat flow curve (reversible and non-reversible).
This experimental procedure is schematically illustrated in Figure 3. Some of the pertinent
fundamental issues and recent results, especially of polymer crystallisation under non-isothermal
conditions and crystallisation of polymer blends, are surveyed. In the reversible heat flow curve, Tg
is clearly observed together with some other molecular rearrangement events. Both polymers are
separately miscible with water in all proportions. The FFT pattern calculated from region t-GST in
Figure 7 a reveals the as-grown t-GST phase, where the phase did not significantly change upon the
laser irradiation. This has recently been accomplished at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
(USA), which houses a unique Dynamic Transmission Electron Microscope (DTEM). Feature papers
are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and must

section involved the compaction of 18 pure small molecule compounds such as acetaminophen,
aspirin, carbamazepine III, ?-indomethacin, and ketoprofen, among others. On account of this, it has
no strict physical meaning, but it allows the experimental characterization of the crystallization
kinetics by means of differential scanning calorimetry only. Since the molecule’s movement becomes
restrung to only vibrational movements and is not rotational or translational, the Tg is drastically
modified, and the physical properties are modified as well. An example of this is the transition of an
amorphous material passing from the glassy to the rubbery state. The as-grown films were finally
capped with an optically transparent LaAlO 3-x (LAO) protective layer of about 5 nm thickness to
protect the GST thin films against oxidation. Thus, the formation of the a-GST phase strongly
indicates a melting and subsequent quenching process. They are devided into 91 compounds with a
neutral cluster unit (chap. 3.1), 4 neutral network compounds (chap. 3.2), 28 compounds with a
cluster cation (chap. 3.3), 5 compounds with oxidized nitrile-containing cluster units and one
secondary product (chap. 3.4) and 24 compounds with niobium cluster anions (chap. 3.5). One focus
of this work was the analysis of the intermolecular interactions between the cluster units.
