Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesOsmotic Tension, Plasticization and Viscoelastic response of amorphous Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone (PEEK) equilibrated in humid environmentsAversa Raffaella, Apicella AntonioDynamic-Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Differential scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and water moisture sorption-desorption kinetics and equilibria have been parallely investigated to monitoring the environmental and thermal sensitivity of amorphous thermoplastic Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone (PEEK). Morphological modification occurring in PEEK during the calorimetric and thermo-mechanical characterizations and the hygrothermal stability are presented. An interpretation based on the free energy of mixing of a polymer chains … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 14 Jul 2016 · 8,466 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesNear Critical Carbon Dioxide Sorption Induced Crystallization in PETAversa Raffaella, Apicella AntonioNear critical carbon dioxide sorption equilibria at 50°C and pressures up to 40 atms are analyzed and interpreted on the basis of the multiple sorption mechanisms possible in a glassy amorphous and semi crystalline polymer. Varying the penetrant-polymer testing temperature and external pressure it is possible to meet the full range of possible sorption behavior, from ideal Fickian diffusion to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 18 Jun 2016 · 8,014 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesLiquid Crystalline Polymers Compatibilization and Adhesion Enhancement by Reactive Blending in Post-Consumers PET’sAversa Raffaella, Apicella AntonioA method for PET mechanical properties enhancement by reactive blending with HBA/HNA Liquid Crystalline Polymers for in situ highly fibrillar composites preparation is presented. LCP/PET blends were reactive extruded in presence of Pyromellitic Di-Anhydride (PMDA) and then characterized by Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Thermally Stimulated Currents and tensile mechanical properties. The formation of specific macromolecular structures, where the PET, the LCP … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 17 Jun 2016 · 8,192 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesFactors Affecting Chemo-physical and Rheological Behaviour of Zr44-Ti11-Cu10-Ni10-Be25 Metal Glassy Alloy Supercooled LiquidsApicella Antonio, Aversa RaffaellaSegregation by selective cold crystallizations and glass transition changes in Zr44-Ti11-Cu10-Ni10-Be25 metal supercooled metastable liquid annealed at different temperatures have been theoretically correlated to melt viscosity modifications. Crystallization behavior has been found to be principally related to the high mobility and smaller Be, Cu and Ni atoms. Multiple exothermal peaks in isothermal DSC annealing’s have been observed in these bulk … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 25 Feb 2016 · 8,148 accessesView PDFCite
