Promotion of self-nucleation with latent Form I nuclei in polybutene-1 and its copolymer
(American Chemical Society, 2018-08-02)
The formation of Form I nuclei of polybutene-1 (PB-1) and its copolymer with polyethylene (PB1-ran-PE) has been studied by means of modified self-nucleation protocols. Even when the self-nucleation temperature was high ...
Crystallization of isodimorphic aliphatic random copolyesters: pseudo-eutectic behavior and double-crystalline materials
(Elservier, 2018-02-28)
Isodimorphic random copolyesters are intriguing polymeric materials that can crystallize in their entire composition range, despite the random distribution of comonomer units along their chains. This behavior stems from ...
Nucleation and crystallization in bio-based immiscible polyester blends
(Springer, 2019-08-21)
Bio-based thermoplastic polyesters are highly promising materials as they combine interesting thermal and physical properties and in many cases biodegradability. However, sometimes the best property balance can only be ...
The origin of memory effects in the crystallization of polyamides: Role of hydrogen bonding
(Elsevier, 2019-12-23)
The effect of hydrogen bonding stability on the memory effects in the crystallization of long chain polyamides have been investigated by the self-nucleation calorimetric technique. Self-nucleation is characterized by three ...
Crystallization and self-nucleation of PLA, PBS and PCL in their immiscible binary and ternary blends
(Elservier, 2019-06-13)
Three semicrystalline polyesters, poly(lactic acid), poly(caprolactone) and poly(butylene succinate) (PLA, PCL and PBS) were melt blended to prepare binary and ternary systems of selected compositions. In binary blends ...
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 ...
