Determination of spherulite growth rates of poly (L-lactic acid) using combined isothermal and non-isothermal procedures

ML Di Lorenzo - Polymer, 2001 - Elsevier
A combination of isothermal and non-isothermal methods was used to measure spherulite
growth rates (G) of poly (l-lactic acid)(PLLA). G was determined during cooling at a constant …

Polymer spherulites: a modern assessment

DC Bassett - Journal of Macromolecular Science, Part B, 2003 - Taylor & Francis
Spherulites and spherulitic growth are characteristic of melt-crystallized polymers and exert
a profound influence on their mechanical and other properties. They and their formation …

Branching and higher order structure in banded polyethylene spherulites

A Toda, M Okamura, K Taguchi, M Hikosaka… - …, 2008 - ACS Publications
Because of twisting correlation of crystallites along the radial direction, polyethylene
spherulites are known to develop concentric band pattern. The mechanism of branching and …

Polyethylene morphology

UW Gedde, A Mattozzi - Long Term Properties of Polyolefins, 2004 - Springer
