Rapid, exothermic metathesis (exchange) reactions between ZrCl4 and Na2O result in crystalline ZrO2 in seconds. Thermal analysis and in situ reaction temperature measurements show that the reaction initiates near the sublimation point of ZrCl4, rapidly reaches temperatures above 1350 °C, and generates a molten NaCl fl…

In situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to characterise Cu/Mg/Al mixed oxides derived from hydrotalcites (catalyst used for the NOx removal reaction). The active sites are the copper centres: (i) Cu(0) for NO decomposition and (ii) Cu(0) and/or Cu(I) for NO reduction with a hydrocarbon. The ability of these…

The Thermally Stimulated Discharge Current (TSDC) technique is widely used for the study of main and secondary dielectric relaxations in polymers. The TSD current is described by different equations that can be arranged in a unique three-parameters (the activation energy W, A and B) general form. The physical meaning…

The early stage of the morphology development has been studied for the blending of two immiscible polymers. Controlled experiments were carried out in a batch mixer in such a way that the rate of melting was low enough to follow up the morphology development of dilute and concentrated systems. For a dilute or semidilu…
