Figure 17 indicates that total solubility can be attained at very low pressures (< 8 MPa). The data also shows that as temperature increases, the phase transition pressure increases. In fact, the data shown in Figure 17 was obtained by fitting a linear relationship between the temperature and phase transition pressure at constant composition on the data published by Rovetto et al. [59]. Data between approximately 370 and 410 K was used and a fit with a Pearson s R value greater than 0.997 was attained in all cases for a linear relationship between the temperature and the phase transition pressure. 

Some properties show hysteresis, and these are not unique functions of the conditions (pressure, temperature) but depend also on the history or the way the state has been arrived at. Examples of such properties are the degree of magnetic or electric polarization in ferromagnetic or ferroelectric compounds at temperatures below the Curie temperature and phase transition such as melting or solidification. The transition temperature depends on whether it is approached from below or above the Curie temperature. The phase transitions in some ferroelectrics are described in Section 4.5.

In modern materials science topics of high interest are surface structures on small (nanometer-length) scales and phase transitions in adsorbed surface layers. Many interesting effects appear at low temperatures, where quantum effects are important, which have to be taken into account in theoretical analyses. In this review a progress report is given on the state of the art of (quantum) simulations of adsorbed molecular layers.

In this work, an experimental study was conducted on gelatin in semi-dilute region in water solution and research the effect of temperature, pH, zeta potential, and ionic strength on hydrodynamic properties by viscometiy, in order to determine the conformational characteristic, and phase transition (Tgei). 

Thallous halides offer a unique possibility of studying the stereochemistry of the (chemically) inert electron pair, since their structures and their pressure and temperature-dependent phase transitions have been well established. Thallium (1) fluoride under ambient conditions, adopts an orthorhombic structure in the space group Pbcm which can be regarded as a distorted rocksalt structure (Fig. 2.4). In contrast to TIF, the thallium halides with heavier halogens, TlCl, TlBr and Til, adopt the highly symmetric cubic CsCl structure type under ambient conditions [46]. Both TlCl and TlBr, at lower temperatures, undergo phase transitions to the NaCl type of structure [47]. 

A similar one-step process was employed successfully [66] to prepare well-crystallized CdS thin films of optical quality on Au(lll) from an aqueous solution of CdSOa, EDTA, and Na2S at room temperature. A phase transition from cubic (zinc blende) to hexagonal (wurtzite) CdS structure was observed with decreasing pH below 5, while highly preferential orientation along [11.0] directions for the... 

Mixtures of a nematic liquid crystal (LC or LC ) with small quantities of gold nanoparticles coated with alkylthiolates (<5 wt%) including an alkylthiolate functionalized with a chiral group have been studied (Figure 8.29) [72]. All mixtures show nematic mesophases with transition temperatures and phase stability very similar to those oftheliquid crystal precursors LC or LC. The introduction ofachiral center into the mixtures (mixtures of Au ) produce chiral nematic mesophases. A similar result is obtained in mixtures of Au and LC doped with the chiral dopant (s)-Naproxen.

Most PHAs are partially crystalline polymers and therefore their thermal and mechanical properties are usually represented in terms of the glass-to-rubber transition temperature (Tg) of the amorphous phase and the melting temperature (Tm) of the crystalline phase of the material [55]. The melting temperature and glass transition temperature of several saturated and unsaturated PHAs have been summarized in Table 2. 

Conformational and phase transitions can potentially be indicative of the primary structure of thermosensitive macromolecules. Indeed, depending on the relative location of H- and P-blocks, as well as on the variation of their length, the chains can either undergo conformational transition accompanied by phase separation, or they can exhibit only the conformational changes without macroscopic phase transitions, i.e. the behaviour observed in the case of protein-like HP-copolymers. Therefore, the solution behaviour of separated fractions of these NVCl/NVIAz-copolymers in an aqueous medium at different temperatures is very important. 

It is known [37,38] that conformational and phase transitions of water-soluble temperature-responsive polymers significantly influence the molecular dynamics of water molecules. Therefore, the studies of temperature dependence of the parameters capable of reflecting such mobility are of signifi-... 

Unfortunately, data on the temperature-dependent solution behaviour of these fractions are not available to date, although it will be of considerable interest to compare, e.g., HS-DSC and NMR results for the bound and unbound fractions of poly(NiPAAm-co-NVIAz) over the temperature range characteristic of the conformational and phase transitions of NiPAAm homopolymers and copolymers. 

Some of the methods of analysis of porosity are based on specific properties of porous and disperse materials, namely, thermoporometiy method is based on shifts of the temperature of phase transitions and permeametry methods are based on characteristics of mass transfer through porous media. Each method has its advantages, for example low cost of equipment and high performance. Each has its own range of optimal measurements. But, all the methods are really doomed for coexistence, and in many cases they supplement each other. 

When we compared the viscosities of solutions of natural rubber and of guttapercha and of other elastomers and later of polyethylene vs.(poly)cis-butadiene, with such bulk properties as moduli, densities, X-ray structures, and adhesiveness, we were greatly helped in understanding these behavioral differences by the studies of Wood (6) on the temperature and stress dependent, melting and freezing,hysteresis of natural rubber, and by the work of Treloar (7) and of Flory (8) on the elasticity and crystallinity of elastomers on stretching. Molecular symmetry and stiffness among closely similar chemical structures, as they affect the enthalpy, the entropy, and phase transitions (perhaps best expressed by AHm and by Clapeyron s... 

Starch phase transitions occur in a wide temperature range. The phase transition process starts at temperatures as low as 35-40 °C, depending on the type of starch. In contrast to what was previously believed, it is now understood that amylose and/or amorphous phases also play significant roles in the phase transition process (Ratnayake and Jackson, 2007 Vermeylen et ah, 2006). Theories that describe gelatinization and phase transition in terms of crystallite melting, therefore, are unlikely to adequately explain the phenomena. In summary, it is evident that starch gelatinization is not an absolute result of crystallite melting. Hence, it should not be considered a simple order-to-disorder phase transition of starch structures.
