Abstract
The kinetics of polymorphic solid-state transformation in mixed adamantane compounds (CN1−x Cl x ADM: x = 0 and x = 0.25) have been studied by X-ray scattering. The classical form of the time-temperature-transformation TTT curves has been directly observed for the first time for the ordering supercooled plastic phases. For both compounds a considerable effect of crystal size on the kinetics has been observed. For x = 0.25 it leads to a continuous transition from Avrami to nucleation behaviour. These observations help us to understand the factors controlling nucleation and growth as well as to establish better operating conditions in order to form a glassy crystal.Keywords
