Global Weak Solutions of a Polymer Crystal Growth Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to show the global existence of weak solutions for a moving boundary problem arising in the non-isothermal crystallization of polymers. The main features of our works are (i) the moving interface is shown to be of co-dimension one; (ii)finite Hölder continuous propagation speed yields an intrinsic estimate of finite co-dimension one Hausdorff measure of the moving interface for every time t in two space dimension; (iii) based upon (ii), we prove Hölder continuity of the temperature u by a decomposition argument.

Detection of Polymer Brushes developed via Single Crystal Growth
Single crystals consisting various surface morphologies and epitaxial structures were applied to investigate the effect of other phase regions in the vicinity of a given tethered chains-covered area having a certain molecular weight of amorphous brushes. The designed experiments demonstrated that regardless of the type of surface morphology (patterned and especial mixed-brushes, homo and co...
متن کاملDistribution kinetics of polymer crystallization and the Avrami equation.
Cluster distribution kinetics is adopted to explore the kinetics of polymer crystallization. Population balance equations based on crystal size distribution and concentration of amorphous polymer segments are solved numerically and the related dynamic moment equations are also solved. The model accounts for heterogeneous or homogeneous nucleation and crystal growth. Homogeneous nucleation rates...
متن کاملContinuum theory of polymer crystallization.
We present a kinetic model of crystal growth of polymers of finite molecular weight. Experiments help to classify polymer crystallization broadly into two kinetic regimes. One is observed in melts or in high molar mass polymer solutions and is dominated by nucleation control with G approximately exp(1/TDeltaT), where G is the growth rate and DeltaT is the supercooling. The other is observed in ...
متن کاملExistence of Global Weak Solutions to Dumbbell Models for Dilute Polymers with Microscopic Cut-off
We study the existence of global-in-time weak solutions to a coupled microscopicmacroscopic bead-spring model with microscopic cut-off, which arises from the kinetic theory of dilute solutions of polymeric liquids with noninteracting polymer chains. The model consists of the unsteady incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in a bounded domain Ω ⊂ Rd, d = 2 or 3, for the velocity and the pressure...
متن کاملInvestigation of Different Stages of Aluminum Fluoride Crystal Growth
Crystallization of Aluminum fluoride at atmospheric pressure has been considered. Structure, size and shape of crystals formed during the crystallization process have been investigated. By applying the direct analysis method for the existed aluminum in solution, the aluminum fluoride nucleation process has been detected as a concentration valley at the outset of crystallization process. The...
