Factors promoting the formation of noncrystalline
structures
1. Primary bonds do not extend in all three
directions and the secondary bonds are not
strong enough.
2. The difference in the free energy of the
crystalline and non crystalline phases is
small.
3. The rate of cooling from the liquid state is
higher than a critical cooling rate.

Solid Solution
A single crystalline phase consisting of two or more elements is
called a solid solution.

C in Fe (BCC)

Solid Solution (Unlimited solubility)
Interstitial solid solution
Substitutional solid solution
1. Structure factor
Crystal structure of the two elements should be
the same
2. Size factor:
Size of the two elements should not differ
by more than 15%
3. Electronegativity factor:
Electronegativity difference between the elements
should be small
4. Valency factor:
Valency of the two elements should be the same

Such phases that have a crystal structure different
from either of the two components are called
INTERMEDIATE STRUCURES
If an intermediate structure occurs only at a fixed
composition it is called an INTERMETALLIC
COMPOUND, e.g. Fe3C in steels.
46
IONIC SOLIDS
Cation radius: R+
Anion radius: RUsually
R  R
1. Cation and anion attract each other.
2. Cation and anion spheres touch each other
3. Ionic bonds are non-directional
1, 2, 3 => Close packing of unequal spheres
47
IONIC SOLIDS
Local packing geometry
1. Anions and cations considered as hard spheres
always touch each other.
2. Anions generally will not touch, but may be close
enough to be in contact with each other in a
limiting situation.
3. As many anions as possible surround a central cation
for the maximum reduction in electrostatic
energy.

5.8 Crystallinity in long chain polymers
Fig. 5.17: semicrystalline polymer
73
Factors affecting crystallinity of a long chain
polymer
1. Higher the degree of polymerization lower is
the degree of crystallization.
Longer chains get easily entagled
74
Branching
2. More is the branching less is the tendency to
crystallize
75
Tacticity
3. Isotactic and syndiotactic polymers can
crystallize but atactic cannot.
76
Copoymers: polymeric analog of solid
solutions
4. Block and random copolymers promote non
crystallinity.
77
Plasticizers

Life should not be estimated
exclusively by the standard of dollars
and cents. I am not disposed to
complain that I have planted and
others have gathered the fruits. One

sows and no one reaps.
