Burger solid

Hence, it is found that a Kelvin solid flows under constant stress once time is of the order of Tr (Figure 6.17a). Some authors refer to Kelvin Tr as retardation time. As discussed below, glass delayed elasticity and flow can be captured with a Burger solid that combines in series a Kelvin and a Maxwell solid. A Kelvin solid yields retardation while a Maxwell one yields relaxation. Relaxation time informs on the time scales at which a viscoelastic solid will behave elastically or relax. Let us consider glass transition the viscosity is 10 -Pas while shear modulus of most glasses scales with Pa so that relaxation time is of the... 

Figure 6.21 Burger solid and its response to a constant applied stress. On loading under tq an instantaneous elastic strain yi, a delayed elastic strain ya and a viscous strain ya appear. On unloading only elastic strain y-, and delayed elastic strain ya recover.

The models are applied to a HEMA-TEOS sol-gel film under indentation creep (Figure H.11). The Maxwell element shows the expected linear dependence of the square of the penetration. This does not fit the experimental data well. In feet, it is necessary to consider a more complex scheme of the solid in order to obtain a representative behaviour. A satisfactory fit is obtained using either a combination in series of Voigt and spring elements or a Burger solid. 

We can see that as the stress is applied the strain increases up to a time t = t. Once the stress is removed we see complete recovery of the strain. All the strain stored has been recovered. The material has the properties of an elastic solid. In order to achieve viscous flow we need to include an additional term, the viscous loss term. This is known as a Burger Body ... 

Figure 3.8. Explanation of dislocations in relation to glide. The solid arrow, b, corresponds to the Burgers vector of the dislocation. SV is the screw dislocation, WE is the edge dislocation, and VW is a mixed dislocation. The shaded area represents a glide plane.

Dislocations are line defects. They bound slipped areas in a crystal and their motion produces plastic deformation. They are characterized by two geometrical parameters 1) the elementary slip displacement vector b (Burgers vector) and 2) the unit vector that defines the direction of the dislocation line at some point in the crystal, s. Figures 3-1 and 3-2 show the two limiting cases of a dislocation. If b is perpendicular to s, the dislocation is named an edge dislocation. The screw dislocation has b parallel to v. Often one Finds mixed dislocations. Dislocation lines close upon themselves or they end at inner or outer surfaces of a solid. 

Summarizing The basic idea, mentioned in chapter 6, that creep of solid polymers could be represented by a simple four-parameter model (the Burgers model), composed of a Maxwell and a Kelvin-Voigt model in series, appears to be inadequate for three reasons ...

Burgers vector and -> defects in solids). In realistic systems, the grains are often separated by a thin amorphous layer, which may also comprise inclusions of secondary phases. 

There are reports of the use of iron species as probes (chemisorbed species) to characterize supports and their adsorption properties. Burger et al. (200) used Mossbauer spectroscopy to characterize submicroscopic droplets of Sn(IV) and Fe(III) complexes carried in an alkane/naphthalene mixture. The analysis of the Mossbauer parameters gave a qualitative picture regarding the solution structure inside the pores and the adsorption and wetting properties of the solid. 

On the other hand McCrone s definition appears to have been simplified by Rosenstein and Lamy (1969) as when a substance can exist in more than one crystalline state it is said to exhibit polymorphism. This simplified definition was apparently adopted by Burger (1983), If these [solids composed of only one component] can exist in different crystal lattices, then we speak of polymorphism ,... 

Fig. 4.12 A DSC measured at four different heating rates. At the slowest rate (0.5 °C min ) both a solid-solid phase transition (III —I) (A) and the melting of the more stable phase I (B) can be seen. At the fastest heating rate of 64 °C min modification III melts directly (E), but the heating rate is sufficiently fast to prevent the crystallization of Form I. At 4 °C min Form II melts (C) and recrystallizes to Form I (D) which subsequently melts. At the intermediate rate of 16 °C min the system does not reach equilibrium, so the recrystaUization of Form I is masked by the direct melting of Form III. (From Burger 1975, with permission)...

In some cases, new phases that may not be detectable by other methods may be detected optically (Chang et al. 1995). Solid state conversions and their monotropic (Burger et al. 1997) or enantiotropic nature (Henck et al. 2000), or the products of desolvations may be easily recognized (Schinzer et al. 1997). Intimate processes of polymorphic behaviour, such as nucleation, crystal growth, habit transformation, sublimation and properties of the melt (e.g. degradation) may be readily observed and video recorded (de Wet et al. 1998). 

Table 5 deals with the example of a benzisoquino-line hydrochloride for which both forms presented a melting that was followed by decomposition. No change was observed by slow heating rate. Since the melting enthalpies differed only by 10%, the proper interpretation needed the verification of the hypothesis enantiotropic transition. The analysis of the insoluble solid in the equilibration of both forms in alcohols (solvent mediated transition) showed that form A is always obtained, what confirmed the observation of the Burger s rule. 

The special feature of Burger s process is the observation that after complete consumption of the bromofurfural, the formation of difurfural continues indefinitely. Thus, after a start with bromofurfural, a continuous addition of furfural results in a continuous precipitation of solid difurfural (melting point 264.5 C), which can be removed continuously by sedimentation or filtration. By contrast, if the process is started without the bromofurfural, no difurfural is formed.
