Relaxed enthalpy and volume during physical aging: Their interrelation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several papers have recently presented results of measurements of physical aging by studying the behavior of glassy materials quenched from temperatures above their glass transition temperature g T . The evolution of the aging process is usually followed by plotting the relaxed enthalpy versus the accompanying decrease in volume. Here, we focus on the slope of such plots, which are found to be similar to the inverse value of the isothermal compressibility close to g T . An explanation of this empirical result is attempted in the frame of a model that interconnects the defect Gibbs energy with properties of the bulk material. PACS: 61.20.Lc; 64.70.Pf; 65.60.+a

DSC Methods to Quantify Physical Aging and Mobility in Amorphous Systems: Assessing Molecular Mobility
The specific heat capacity (Cp) of amorphous sucrose was determined by DSC after annealing at a particular temperature within the glass transition (Tg) region. The enthalpy recovery after physical aging was obtained from the Cp data through the Tg region after several aging times. This data was fitted to the empirical Williams-Watts equation to obtain values for the mean molecular relaxation ti...

متن کاملPhysical Aging of Epoxy Polymers and Their Composites
Exposure to extended periods of sub-Tg temperatures causes physical changes in the molecular structure of epoxy resins and epoxy-based materials to occur. These physical aging mechanisms include the reduction in free volume and changes to the molecular configuration. As a result, mechanical, thermodynamic, and physical properties are affected in ways that can compromise the reliability of epoxy...

The purpose of this paper is to study the molecular mobility of paracetamol molecules in their amorphous state below the glass transition temperature (Tg) in order to evaluate the thermodynamic driving force which allows the amorphous form to recrystallize under different polymorphic modifications. Samples were aged at temperatures of -15, 0, 6, and 12 degrees C for periods of time from 1 h to ...

The high process temperatures in combination with long building times during the laser sintering process lead to chemical and physical aging mechanisms on the polymeric feed material. The unmolten partcake material, which acts as a supporting structure, can be removed after each building process and reused for further processes. However, material as well as bulk properties are changed due to th...
