The characteristics of a gaseous discharge have been studied in the presence of a localised transverse magnetic field applied to a discharge tube. The breakdown voltage and the post breakdown discharge current are found to be dependent on the strength and the position of the applied magnetic field. The position of the magnetic field at which the electrical parameters of the gaseous discharge are more sensitive to the magnetic field has been identified to be very near the cathode end of the negative glow. All the experimental observations in this study have been explained consistently taking into consideration the complexity of the electrical conduction in the presence of the localised magnetic field. © 1988.

Effects of localised transverse magnetic field on the characteristics of a glow discharge

The crystallinity of poly(phenylene sulphide) (PPS) blended with polystyrene has been investigated as a function of composition, annealing time and temperature by an X-ray diffraction technique for samples made by three mixing techniques viz. powder blending, melt blending and solution blending. The method of blending has a pronounced effect on the crystallinity, solution blending giving the least for a particular composition. The crystallization half time increases while the crystallite size is reduced considerably by the addition of polystyrene to PPS. These findings have been explained on the basis of partial miscibility of the amorphous phases. © 1987.

Partial switching and negative capacitance phenomena are observed in thin film AlV2O5Al devices. It is found that the partially switched device behaves as though the device thickness is decreased. The negative capacitance observed in unswitched and partially switched devices is explained on the basis of the model for the electrical conduction in vacuum evaporated thin films, presented by the authors in previous publications. Computer simulations of the negative capacitance characteristics are shown to have excellent correlation with the experimental character‐sties. Copyright © 1987 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH &amp; Co. KGaA

The crystalline structure and morphology have been investigated for powder processed poly(phenylene sulfide) blended with high-density polyethylene and poly(tetrafluoroethylene). The crystallinity in the former case showed large deviations from those estimated from rule of mixtures, while in the latter blends it closely followed the values predicted from the linear relation for homogeneous mixtures. Pronounced changes in some reflections were found in the X-ray pattern on thermal curing of the samples. These results have been explained on the basis of compaction behavior of the powder blends together with the orientations induced during the processing steps.

Structural investigations of powder processed poly(phenylene sulfide) blends

Structural investigations have been carried out in powder processed polyvinylidene fluoride containing various amounts of titanium dioxide and lead monoxide as fillers. The crystallinity was found to increase significantly at very low filler concentration (<3 percent) while it decreased monotonically with increasing filler concentrations above 5 percent. The phase transformation in the crystal structure was also noticed especially after sintering and the formation of beta phase was favourable in samples containing lead oxide. These various findings were also confirmed by infrared absorption studies and explained on the basis of deformation of the polymer during compaction together with preferential nucleation by the filler during the sintering step of the powder processing technique. © 1987, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Internal structural changes in polyphenylene sulphide coatings have been investigated as a function of curing temperature by means of scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy. The adhesion, recrystallization behaviour and chemical resistance of the films were found to be dependent on the curing temperature. These properties have been correlated with the physical and chemical changes taking place during the curing process. © 1986.

Effect of curing on the internal structure of polyphenylene sulphide coatings

The modification of structure, crystallinity and orientation have been studied in powder processed polytetrafiuoroethylene by various techniques. It was found that crystallinity (as determined from regression curve analysis) in unsintered samples decreased with increase of compaction pressure while in sintered specimen it increased with increase of pressure. The crystallinity was also found to vary inversely with logarithm of cooling rate. Microfocus X-ray diffraction revealed the orientation of c-axis lying preferentially in the plane perpendicular to applied pressure. There was slight variation in the lattice dimension especially the c-axis in completely sintered specimen. The infrared studies showed the presence of some of the bands depended upon the molding/sintering conditions. These various findings have been explained on the basis of compaction and recrystallization behaviour under constrained conditions. © 1986, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.

The crystalline content in high pressure compacted polymeric powders has been investigated as a function of moulding pressure. It has been noted that the crystallinity Cp varied with the pressure as [C0 — βPα] where α and β were material dependent constants. There also appears a correlation between α, β, and an empirically defined factor which is related to the glass transition temperature, melting point, and compressive yield strength for all the polymers studied. The results have been discussed in terms of various processes taking place during the high pressure compacting step.

Effect of moulding pressure on crystallinity in powder processing of semicrystalline polymers

The crystallization behaviour of a copolyester based on polyethylene terephthalate containing cyclohexanedimethanol groups was studied as a function of thermal and solvent treatment. Although the rate of crystallization as compared to homopolymer was reduced, a substantial amount of crystallinity could be introduced by prolonged treatment and a new orthorhombic crystal lattice with unit cell dimensions of a = 5.05 A ̊, b = 7.1 A ̊ and c = 10.7 A ̊ was formed in the copolyester as compared to the triclinic in the homopolymer. © 1986.
