Temperature quenching

The acetal polymers exhibit a high crystallinity." The percentage crystallinity will depend on the quench temperature and will range from about 77%, when quenched at 0°C, to about 80% when quenched at 160°C. Annealing will increase the crystallinity, this being most marked at 150°C Figure 19.5). 

The greater the percentage crystallinity the higher the yield point and tensile modulus. It has also been shown that by raising the quench temperature the spherulite size is increased and that this greatly decreases the impact toughness.

Also in case of Pb(II)-WO the MMCT state does not lead to quenching (see above). In this case the quenching temperature of the emission increases relative to that of the constituents, since the parabola offset of this MMCT state is relatively small [50].

The co-occurrence of nucleation and spinodal decomposition had been observed in the temperature quench experiment of poly(2,6-dimethyl-l,4-phenylene oxide)-toluene-caprolactam system, [64,65], in which the typical morphology formed by nucleation and growth mechanism was observed with electron-microscopy when the quench of temperature is slightly above the spinodal boundary. On the other hand, if the quench temperature is somewhat lower than the spinodal boundary, they observed interconnected structures as well as small droplets. 

In Section 4 it will be shown that the thermal quenching temperature of the lanthanide emission depends strongly on the c.t. or 4/ i5rf state and that progress has been made to understand this phenomenon. 

If the c.t. state is at relatively low energies we can expect phenomena like those described above for the oxysulfides. It has been shown that the temperature quenching of the 5 )q emission of Eu3+ can occur via the c.t. state (76, 77). After >o-c.t. crossover the c.t. state relaxes nonradiatively to the ground state as in the Mott-Seitz picture. It has been found that the thermal quenching temperature of Eu + emission under c.t. excitation increases if the c.t. state is situated at higher energies [78). 

Delay, completion and duration times for PBLG/toluene (c 7.3 X 10 gm/ml) are strongly dependent on final quench temperature. 

Extrapolated forward scattered intensity for PBLG-138,000/toluene (0.91 wt %) depends on temperature of quench. Temperature prior to quench 70 C. o Sample first "renewed as described in text X Sample not renewed. A similar trend was observed for PBLG/DMF. 

We conclude from these experiments that the melting temperature of the gels is an increasing function of the quenching temperature.

In figure 2-b, time is in a logarithmic scale, up to 10 hours. The continuous line is calculated using eq. (2), the dotted line is calculated using eq. (3).

When the helix amount increases the medium changes from a viscous liquid (sol) to an elastic solid (gel). The kinetics of gelation depends strongly on the quenching temperature. The rheological measurements that we performed are particularly focused on the sol-gel transition and on the definition of the "gel point". The greatest difficulty encountered is due to the weakness of the bonds which can easily be destroyed by the mechanical stress.

Dashed lines have slope l/Tf while thick hues have slope l/T (t ). (From Ref. 182.) (b) Integrated response function as a function of IS correlation, that is the correlation between different IS configurations for the ROM. The dashed fine has slope Tf = 5.0, where Tf is the final quench temperature, whereas the full lines are the prediction from Eq.

Protonation of the enolate 19, prepared by Lewis acid promoted addition of butylcuprate to 18, gave 16 and 17 in an approximately 30 70 ratio. Diastereoselectivity is essentially independent of quenching temperature ( — 70° to 0°C) and of R.
