In this study, three solvates of sorafenib tosylate were obtained from methanol, ethanol and n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) after solvate screening and the effect of solvent on the formation of solvate was analyzed. The solvents with high value of polarity/dipolarity and appropriate hydrogen bond donor/acceptor propensity are more likely to form corresponding solvates. The crystal structures of the solvates were elucidated for the first time by using single crystal X-ray diffraction data. The analysis results indicate that methanol solvate and ethanol solvate are isostructural and hydrogen bonds could be formed between solvent molecules and sorafenib tosylate molecules. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to research the interactions in the solvates, and the results reveal that the H···H, C···H/H···C and O···H/ H···O contacts play the vital role in molecular packing. In addition, three solvates were characterized by polarized light microscope, powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The solvates show different thermodynamic stability in methanol +NMP and ethanol +NMP mixtures. Furthermore, the desolvation of solvates was studied by hot stage microscope and discussed.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of selective laser sintering (SLS) method on morphology and performance of polyamide 12. Design/methodology/approach Crystallization behavior is critical to the properties of semi-crystalline polymers. The crystallization condition of SLS process is much different from others. The morphology of polyamide 12 produced by SLS technology was investigated using scanning electron microscopy, polarized light microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and wide-angle X-ray diffraction. Findings Too low fill laser power brought about bad fusion of powders, while too high energy input resulted in bad performance due to chain scission of macromolecules. There were three types of crystal in the raw powder material, denoted as overgrowth crystal, ring-banded spherulite and normal spherulite. Originality/value In this work, SLS samples with different sintering parameters, as well as compression molding sample for the purpose of comparison, were made to study the morphology and crystal structure of sintered PA12 in detail.

AbstractMelt blending using a twin-screw extruder was used to prepare composites of polypropylene (PP)/organic rectorite (PR). The organic rectorite (OREC) was modified with dodecyl benzyl dimethyl ammonium bromide (1227). Wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and transmission electron microscopy were used to investigate the dispersion of OREC in the composites. The d spacings of OREC in PR composites was greater than in OREC itself. The dispersion of OREC particles in the PP polymer matrix was fine and uniform when the clay content was small (2 wt.%). The rheology was characterized using a capillary rheometer. The processing behaviour of the PR system improved as the amount of OREC added increased. Non-isothermal crystallization kinetics were analysed using differential scanning calorimetry. It was shown that the addition of OREC had a heterogeneous nucleation effect on PP, and can accelerate the crystallization. However, only when fine dispersion was achieved, and at lower rates of temperature decrease, was the crystallinity greater. Wide-angle X-ray diffraction and polarized light microscopy were used to observe the crystalline form and crystallite size. The PP in the PR composites exhibited an a-monoclinic crystal form, as in pure PP, and in both cases a spherulite structure was observed. However, the smaller spherulite size in the PR systems indicated that addition of OREC can reduce the crystal size significantly, which might improve the ‘toughness’ of the PP. The mechanical properties (tensile and impact strength) improved when the amount of OREC added was appropriate. Dynamic mechanical analysis showed that the storage modulus (E′) and loss modulus (E″) of the nanocomposites were somewhat greater than those of pure PP when an appropriate amount of OREC was added. Finally, thermogravimetric analysis showed that the PR systems exhibited a greater thermal stability than was seen with pure PP.

Sodium cholesteryl carbonate ester (SCC) was synthesized, and its phase behavior was studied. The chemical structure was assessed by solid-state infrared spectroscopy based on vibration analysis. The wave number at 1705 and 1276 cm−1 corresponds to a carbonyl carbonate and O–C–O stretching of SCC, respectively. Molecular structure of SCC was further investigated with 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The chemical shift, for the carbonyl carbonate resonance appeared at 155.5 ppm. A molecular mass of SCC was at m/z of 452. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), video-enhanced microscopy (VEM) together with polarized light microscopy, and small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) were used to characterize the phase behavior as a function of temperature of SCC. Liquid crystalline phase was formed with SCC. Based on the thermal properties and x-ray diffraction, it appears that SCC forms a structure analogous to the type II monolayer structure observed with cholesterol esters.

The influence of molecular orientation on the melting behavior of draw-annealed poly(phenylene sulfide) fibers is investigated in the present paper. Tools used to probe the investigation were differential scanning calorimetry, polarized light optical microscopy, wide angle X-ray diffraction, and small angle X-ray diffraction. It is shown that molecular orientation in the crystalline and amorphous regions play a key role in crystal rearrangement during melting. A probable mechanism by which amorphous orientation influences crystal rearrangement is also discussed.

In this study polypropylene (PP) composites containing β-nucleating agent (NT-C) and talc filler were prepared by melt compounding. The melting and crystallization behavior, morphology and mechanical properties of the composites were studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), polarized light microscopy (PLM) and mechanical tests. The results indicate that talc suppresses the formation of β phase, but promotes the formation of α phase. The Izod notched impact strength and tensile strength of β-PP/talc composites are superior to those of PP/talc composites, indicating an outstanding balance of stiffness and toughness of β-PP/talc composites.

The effect of a nucleating agent (NT-C) on the crystallization behavior of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was studied. The melting and crystallization behavior and spherulitic morphology of the nucleated PLA were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and polarized light microscopy (PLM). It is found that the crystallization temperature and crystallinity increase, the spherulitic size decrease for the nucleated PLA. But the crystal structure of the nucleated PLA is not changed.

Four solvates of an antifungal drug, griseofulvin (GF), were discovered. All the solvates were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The solvents that form the solvates are acetonitrile, nitromethane and nitroethane (2:1 and 1:1). It was found that all the solvates lose the solvent molecules from the crystal lattice between 343 and 383 K, and that the melting point of the desolvated materials matched the melting point of the solvent-free GF (493 K). The conformation of the GF molecule in solvent-free form was found to be significantly different from the conformations found in the solvates. Solution stability studies revealed that the GF–acetonitrile solvate transforms to GF and that GF–nitroethane (1:1) solvate transforms to GF–nitroethane (2:1) solvate. On the other hand, GF–nitromethane and GF–nitroethane (2:1) solvates were found to be stable in solution. Our results highlight the importance of the co-crystallization technique in the pharmaceutical drug development; it not only expands the solid form diversity but also creates new avenues for unraveling novel solvates.

AbstractHDPE was analyzed after being submitted to cryogenic mechanical milling (CMM) by X-ray diffraction (WAXS), polarized light microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). After CMM, besides the known phase transformation of the orthorhombic PE crystals into the monoclinic modification, slight changes in the melting and crystallization behavior as well as an unexpected increase in crystallinity were observed. The observed results can be explained by assuming a solid/solid phase transition as the responsible mechanism.

AbstractN,N’-Diphenyl glutaramide (DPG) is found to be an effective nucleating agent to induce the β-form of iPP. The results of wide angle X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and polarized light microscopy indicate that 0.2 wt% of DPG can induce the maximum amount of β-form iPP, and the favorable crystallization temperature for the growth of β-form is 120 ˚C in this study. Analysis of the misfit factor between the cell parameters of DPG and β-iPP shows β-iPP can epitaxially crystallize on the bc face of DPG crystal well.

AbstractThe effects of phosphate nucleating agent (NA), carboxylate nucleating agent (MD), rosin type nucleating agent (WA) and sorbitol nucleating agent (NX) on crystallization behavior of isotactic polypropylene were investigated by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized light microscopy (PLM). The results showed that different structure nucleating agents significantly affected the crystallization kinetics, rate and temperature of polypropylene. Among them, half crystallization time of NX nucleating agent was the shortest, which was 53.4 seconds, and the crystallization temperature was the highest, reaching 129.8°C.
