Solids activation energy regarding

The specific conductivity of a large number of oxide melts is in excess of 1 ohm-1 cm-1 and the temperature coefficient of conductance is positive. Two types of experiments from which conclusions are drawn regarding the mechanism of conduction are to be found in the literature. In one, the applicability of Faraday s laws is directly tested. In the second case, the conductivity of both the crystalline solid up to the melting point and that of the melt is measured if the change in specific conductivity on fusion is negligible, and if the so-called activation energy EK defined by... 

For a fixed model, e.g. R3, the influences of the other variables, the heating rate, P, the pre-exponential fector. A, and the activation energy, E, are shown in Figures 5.3., 5.4. and 5.5., respectively. Elder [28] has provided similar curves and Zsako [29] has shown similar influences for the first-order (FI) model. Although the FI model cannot be regarded as a realistic representation of many solid state decompositions, it has often been assumed to apply as an approximation. Figure... 

Softening and cure are examined with the help of a torsional pendulum modifled with a braid (73), which supports thermosets such as phenolics and epoxies that change from a liquid to a solid on curing. Another method uses vibrating arms coupled to a scrim-supported sample to measure storage and loss moduli as a function of time and temperature. An isothermal analytical method for phenolic resins provides data regarding rate constants and activation energies and allows prediction of cure characteristics under conditions of commercial use (55).
