Abstract
Phase diagram of durene–resorcinol system, determined by the thaw-melt method, shows the formation of a monotectic (0.109 mole fraction of durene) and an eutectic (0.964 mole fraction of durene) with a large liquid miscibility gap in the region from 0.109 to 0.964 mole fraction of durene. The eutectic, monotectic and consolute temperatures are 78.4, 107.8 and 165.0°C, respectively. The growth behaviour studied by measuring the linear velocity of crystallization (v) in a capillary at different undercoolings (ΔT) suggests that the data obey the Hillig–Turnbull equation,v=u(ΔT)n, where u and n are constants depending on the nature of materials involved. From the values of enthalpy of fusion of the pure components, the eutectic and the monotectic determined by the DSC method using Mettler DSC-4000 system, entropy of fusion, enthalpy of mixing, Jackson’sroughness parameter, size of the critical nucleus interfacial energy and excess thermodynamic functions were calculated. The microstructures of the eutectic, and the monotectic, determined by the Leitz Laborlux D optical microscope show their characteristic features.
