Recent Applications of the Successive Self-nucleation and Annealing (SSA) Thermal Fractionation Technique
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022-09-28)
Successive Self-nucleation and Annealing (SSA) is a thermal fractionation technique that is performed by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The combination of non-isothermal and isothermal steps applied during SSA ...
Nucleation of Poly(lactide) on the Surface of Different Fibers
(ACS Publications, 2019-08-14)
The nucleation process of poly(lactide) (PLA) on a series of fibers was studied by means of in-situ Polarized Optical Microscope (POM) during crystallization. Several synthetic and natural fibers (PLLA stereocomplex fibers ...
Sequential crystallization and multi-crystalline morphology in PE-b-PEO-b-PCL-b-PLLA tetrablock quarterpolymers
(ACS, 2021-08-10)
We investigate for the first time the morphology and crystallization of two novel tetrablock quarterpolymers of
polyethylene (PE), poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), and poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) with ...
Chemical Structure Drives Memory Effects in the Crystallization of Homopolymers
(ACS, 2020-06-11)
Although the study of melt memory has attracted much interest, the effect of polymer chemical structure on its origin has not been fully elucidated. In this work, we study melt memory effects by Differential Scanning ...
Self-nucleation Effects on Polymer Crystallization
(ACS, 2020-05-28)
The existence of a “memory” of the previous crystalline state, which survives melting and enhances re-crystallization kinetics by a self-nucleation process, is well-known in polymer crystallization studies. Despite being ...
Peculiar self-nucleation behavior of a polybutene-1/ethylene random copolymer
(Wiley, 2021-07-31)
The self-nucleation behavior of a polybutene-1/ethylene random copolymer, P(B1-ran-E), which undergoes a complex crystal-crystal transition behavior, has been studied in detail. Similar to PE random copolymers, this material ...
