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 ...
Biodegradable binary blends of poly (butylene succinate) or poly (ε-caprolactone) with poly (butylene succinate-ran-ε-caprolactone) copolymers: Crystallization behavior
(Elsevier, 2022-08-12)
Poly (butylene succinate) (PBS) and polycaprolactone (PCL) are two immiscible biocompatible and biodegradable polymers. Aiming to combine the properties of these biodegradable polymers, this work explores for the first ...
Influence of Chemical Structures on Isodimorphic Behavior of Three Different Copolycarbonate Random Copolymer Series
(American Chemical Society, 2020-01-10)
Three series of aliphatic random copolycarbonates, poly(heptane-co-dodecane carbonate) P7C-P12C, poly(butane-co-dodecane carbonate) P4C-P12C and poly(butane-co-heptane carbonate) P4C-P7C, were synthesized by two-step ...
Effect of Chemical Structure and Salt Concentration on the Crystallization and Ionic Conductivity of Aliphatic Polyethers
(MDPI, 2019-03-09)
Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) is the most widely used polymer in the field of solid polymer electrolytes for batteries. It is well known that the crystallinity of polymer electrolytes strongly affects the ionic conductivity ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Unexpected structural properties in the saturation region of the odd-even effects in aliphatic polyethers: Influence of crystallization conditions
(ACS, 2022-01-04)
A series of aliphatic polyethers with different chain lengths (nCH2= 6 to 12, and 16) is
studied employing differential scanning calorimetry and X-rays scattering. The
calorimetric and structural behavior of samples ...
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 ...
