Curing of an epoxy resin causes the resin molecules to react and form a highly crosslinked network. In case the epoxy resin is heated at a considerably high rate momentary sample temperature will be ...

The Journal of Geology, Vol. 79, No. 1 (Jan., 1971), pp. 100-110 (11 pages) Alkali-ion exchange between rock and aqueous phases during devitrification and secondary hydration of ignimbrite sheets ...

Researchers have obtained new insights into the process of crystallization in glasses that can lead to a loss of transparency and mechanical strength. The researchers are the first to relate the ...

A team of Indian researchers has demystified devitrification, which is the transformation of a glass into a crystal, and visualised the process for the first time in experiments, the Indian Institute ...

Semicrystalline polymers are known to have a rigid amorphous fraction (RAF), which is present at the interface of the amorphous phase and crystal due to the immobilization of a polymer chain caused by ...

Tokyo, Japan – Scientists from The University of Tokyo Institute of Industrial Science used computer simulations to study the aging mechanism that can cause an amorphous glassy material to turn into a ...
