The kinetics of crystallization of a glass with composition 30SiO 2 ؒ24.14P 2 O 5 ؒ28.61CaOؒ17.25MgO (wt%) was studied with variable temperature, by differential thermal analysis. These results were interpreted according to revised theoretical models which describe the dependence of fraction crystallized on temperature and on the heating rate, and the dependence of the peak temperature on the rate of change in temperature. These models emphasize the differences in crystallization behavior between ''as-prepared'' glass samples, and the corresponding previously nucleated samples. These differences in behavior suggest that the kinetics of crystallization comprises a nucleation stage at temperatures of about 730°C, and particle growth for temperatures higher than 800°C. The temperature dependence of the fraction crystallized corresponds to a very high value of activation energy for growth (≈763 kJ/mol), but this is still lower than the activation energy evaluated from the temperature dependence of viscosity.
RESUMO Foram avaliadas propriedades físicas da madeira de 70 árvores da espécie Eucalyptus cloeziana com aproximadamente 10 anos de idade, provenientes de florestas localizadas na região centro-oeste do Estado de Minas Gerais. Foram determinados umidade, densidade básica e aparente e retratibilidade. As amostras apresentaram valores médios de 703 kg/m3, 843 kg/m3 e 916 kg/m3 para densidade básica, densidade aparente seca e densidade aparente a 12% de umidade, respectivamente. Quanto à retração radial, tangencial e axial foram encontrados, respectivamente, valores médios de 7,08, 11,16 e 0,26%. A retração volumétrica média foi de 19,68% e o coeficiente anisotrópico, de 1,60, dessa forma a madeira é considerada estável dimensionalmente.
