Stereocomplex (SC) crystallites, formed between enantiomeric poly (l-lactide)(PLLA) and
poly (d-lactide)(PDLA), show a melting point 50° C higher than that of PLLA or PDLA …

The influence of molecular weight and processing conditions on the crystallization kinetics of
isotactic polypropylene is studied using rheometry. Flow-induced crystallization experiments …

In this work, a chain extender (CE) was added to polylactide (PLA) to improve its foamability.
The steady and transient rheological properties of neat PLA and CE-treated PLA revealed …

Superior properties such as high strength, toughness and transparency of fully biobased
poly (lactide)(PLA) were achieved simultaneously without any external modifiers. The …

The rheology of supramolecular polycaprolactone polymers with two ureidopyrimidinone
(UPy) end groups and unimer molecular weights between 600 and 4000 was compared with …

The challenge to manufacture medical devices with specific antibacterial functions, and the
growing demand for systems able to limit bacterial resistance growth, necessitates the …

Isothermal crystallization and structure development was studied for three different waxy
crude oils. The transformation from sol to gel was followed by small-amplitude dynamic …

Flow-induced crystallization is a multistep process, in which precursors are often generated
as a crucial ordering state intermediate between the initial amorphous state and the ultimate …

Abstract Asymmetric poly (L-lactide)/poly (D-Lactide)(PLLA/PDLA) blends were prepared by
adding small amounts of PDLA into the PLLA matrix with the formation of stereocomplex …

Nucleation is the limiting stage in the kinetics of polymer crystallization. In many applications
of polymer processing, nucleation is enhanced with the addition of nucleating agents. 1, 3: 2 …
