β¦ Synopsis
In this paper, the results of a series of investigations of the effect of morphology on the brittle-ductile transition for HDPE/CaC03 blends are summarized ( 1 ) It seems the critical ligament thickness increases with increasing matrix toughness; ( 2 ) the interphase adhesion is very important for the toughness of HDPE/CaC03 blends; ( 3 ) small particles are more effective than large ones; ( 4 ) CaC03 particle aggregation will reduce toughening efficiency;
( 5 ) uniform CaC03 particle size is more effective than heterogeneous size for the toughening of HDPE. It is expected that a polymer with higher modulus as well as higher toughness will be obtained by appropriately controlling the morphology of HDPE/ CaC03 blends.

The ductile-brittle transition temperature for bend specimens of recrystallized powder metallurgy molybdenum has been shown to be lowered from 50Β°C to 2Β°C by the application of a hydrostatic pressure of -20,000 psi (~1.4 kbar).

The effect of rate on the brittle-ductile transition of polymers can be given by an Arrheniustype equation with activation energy between those of 01 and p transitions and given by where Eb is the activation energy for brittle-ductile transition, E , is that for a transition, Ep is that for / 3 tran
