Correlation between Grafting Density and Confined Crystallization Behavior of Polyethylene Glycol Grafted to Silica
(American Chemical Society, 2019-02-06)
The interfacial interactions of polymer-nanoparticles have dramatical effects on the crystallization behavior of grafted polymers. In this study, methoxy polyethylene glycol (MPEG) (molecular weights 750, 2000 and 4000 g ...
How cyclic chain topology can reduce the crystallization rate of Poly(3- hexylthiophene) and promote the formation of liquid crystalline phases in comparison with linear analogue chains
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-06-14)
We have studied how cyclic topology affects the crystallization and morphology of π-conjugated poly(3-
hexylthiophene) (P3HT) molecules by comparing linear and cyclic analogues for the first time, with three
different ...
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 ...
How Confinement Affects the Nucleation, Crystallization, and Dielectric Relaxation of Poly(butylene succinate) and Poly(butylene adipate) Infiltrated within Nanoporous Alumina Templates
(ACS Publications, 2019-10-17)
This work describes the successful melt infiltration of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and poly(butylene adipate) (PBA) within 70 nm diameter anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. The infiltrated samples were characterized ...
Segmental Dynamics Govern the Cold Crystallization of Poly(lactic acid) in Nanoporous Alumina
(ACS Publications, 2019-09-04)
How segmental mobility influences the crystallization behavior of polymers in confined spaces is still not fully understood. In the present work, a systematic study of the segmental dynamics was carried out by dielectric ...
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 ...
Generating Triple Crystalline Superstructures in Melt Miscible PEO-b-PCL-b-PLLA Triblock Terpolymers by Controlling Thermal History and Sequential Crystallization
(WILEY-VCH, 2019-09-10)
The morphology, crystallization behavior and properties of multi-crystalline polymer systems based on triple crystalline biodegradable PEO-b-PCL-b-PLLA triblock terpolymers are reviewed. The triblock terpolymers, with ...
