A new optical set-up for on-line following up the crystallization of polymers at high cooling rates
A new experimental procedure, named « Polymer High Cooling - Optics » and whose performance has been improved, is presented. It allows us to monitor on-line the quiescent crystallization of a polymer film unde...

Polymer Microstructures: Modification and Characterization by Fluid Sorption
Polymer micro-organization can be modified by a combination of three constraints, thermal, hydrostatic, and fluid sorption. In selecting the fluid’s nature, chemically active or inert, and its physical state, ...

How to determine the parameters of polymer crystallization for modeling the injection-molding process?
To understand the relationship between ‘polymers-processing conditions-structures-properties’, crystallization is one of the major concerned phenomena. A general crystallization model derived from Avrami’s wor...

Effects of CO2 pressure on isotropic transition of amphiphilic side-chain type liquid crystalline di-block copolymers
The effects of high pressure carbon dioxide (CO2) on the isotropic transition of three different amphiphilic di-block copolymers, PEOm-b-PMA(Az)n, namely PEO114-b-PMA(Az)40, PEO272-b-PMA(Az)46 and PEO454-b-PMA(Az...

Isotropic transition of amphiphilic side-chain type liquid crystalline di-block copolymers
The effects of nitrogen (N2) pressure on amphiphilic di-block copolymer, PEO114-b-PMA(Az)40, were investigated by scanning transitiometry. The isotropic transition temperature increased with the increase of press...

Isotropic transition behaviour of an amphiphilic di-block copolymer under pressure
The present work deals with the interactions between carbon dioxide, used as pressure medium, either in the gas state (GCO2) or in the supercritical state (SCCO2) and amphiphilic di-block copolymers PEOm-b-PMA(Az...

The Use of Scanning Transitiometry to Investigate Thermodynamic Properties of Polymeric Systems over Extended T and p Ranges
Scanning transitiometry is a newly developed technique in which one of the independent variables (p,V, or T) is scanned in the working cell of a very sensitive calorimeter while the other independent variable is ...
