Microstructure-property correlation properties

Microstructure-property correlations in dynamically vulcanized thermoplastic elastomers based on polypropylene (PP)/EPDM have shown that clay was nearly exfoliated and randomly distributed into the continuous polypropylene phase [23]. SEM photomicrographs revealed that the size of rubber particles increased with clay incorporation. Also, the clay layers act as nucleating agents, resulting in higher crystallization temperature and reduced degree of crystallinity.

As pointed out before the comparison between measured property values and calculated bounds provides a first, qualitative approach to the problem of bonding. In order to determine phase bonding quantitatively one once more starts from microstructure-property-correlations ...

Physical metallurgy is concerned with the scientific study of materials. Phase transformations, recovery and recrystallization, precipitation hardening, structure-property correlations, characterization of microstructure by microscopy (optical, electron and field-ion), are some specific examples among the many topics covered under physical metallurgy.

Micro structures in heterogeneous catalysts are closely related to the catalytic properties. TEM and related microanalytic techniques are powerful tools in characterising catalysts at atomic level. The obtained structural information is essential to the understanding of correlations between microstructures and catalytic properties. In this lecture note, the general principle of characterization of catalysts by TEM is introduced and the applications on Pt/Si02 model system and on VPO catalysts are intensively described. 

This work clearly demonstrated that it is important to establish direct correlations between microstructure and transport properties of grain boundary junctions. At this point, both the complex and varied structures of grain boundaries that have been found and the extremely complicated transport behavior, present considerable challenges concerning the development of models for the connection between structure and transport properties. However, it is clear that progress in this field is directly dependent on our ability to develop such models.

Bowman [192] conducted a systematic study of the structure-property relations of injection molded polyacetals (polyoxymethylene or POM) and observed correlations between process conditions, structures and mechanical properties. Barrel temperature effects were studied as they are known to influence both microstructure and mechanical properties [193]. Increased barrel temperature was shown to reduce the outer skin layer while increasing the extent of the equiaxed, unoriented core, resulting in a decreased tensile yield strength parallel to the injection direction.
