Confined Crystallization of Polymers within Nanopores
(ACS, 2021-08-03)
Crystallization of polymeric materials under nanoscopic confinement is highly relevant for nanotechnology applications. When a polymer is confined within rigid nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates, the ...
Using Successive Self-nucleation and Annealing (SSA) to detect the solid-solid transitions in poly (hexamethylene carbonate) and poly (octamethylene carbonate)
(ACS, 2021-10-26)
Solid-solid transitions in poly (hexamethylene carbonate) (PC6) and poly (octamethylene carbonate) (PC8), denoted δ to α transition, have been investigated, using self-nucleation and Successive Self-nucleation and Annealing ...
Composition Dependent Miscibility in the Crystalline State of Polyamide 6 /Polyamide 4,10 Blends: from Single to Double Crystalline Blends
(Elsevier, 2021-02-22)
In this work, we studied the composition-dependent miscibility of polyamide 6 and biobased polyamide 4,10 (PA6/PA410) blends, as triggered by crystallization driven phase segregation. The blends were prepared by extrusion ...
Fractionated crystallization in semicrystalline polymers
(Elsevier, 2021-02-16)
The crystallization of heterogeneously nucleated bulk polymers typically occurs in a single exothermic process, within a narrow temperature range, i.e., a single exothermic peak is detected by Differential Scanning Calorimetry ...
Solid–Solid Crystal Transitions (δ to α) in Poly(hexamethylene carbonate) and Poly(octamethylene carbonate)
(ACS, 2021-07-21)
Poly (hexamethylene carbonate) (PC6) and poly (octamethylene carbonate) (PC8) were studied under different crystallization conditions. Using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), a new solid-solid transition, denoted α ...
Competition between Chain Extension and Crosslinking in Polyamide 1012 during High Temperature Thermal Treatments as Revealed by SSA Fractionation
(ACS, 2021-08-03)
Self-nucleation and annealing (SSA) is an efficient way to thermally fractionate semi-crystalline polymers. The thermal fractions produced by SSA have distinct melting points that correspond to different average lamellar ...
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 ...
