The stretch-induced structural evolution mechanism is a long-standing scientific question in
the post-stretching processing of polymer films. X-ray scattering, especially a combination of …

Deformation-induced phase transition of Form II to Form I in polybutene-1 (PB-1) has been
investigated by time-resolved Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy over a wide …

Extremely slow phase transition from form II to form I has been the greatest bottleneck of
isotactic polybutene-1 preventing from its extensive applications. In the past decade …

Understanding polymer crystallization is important for polyethylene-like materials. A small
fraction of monomers with functional groups within the polyethylene chain can act as …

This work investigated the crystalline forms obtained from melt crystallization in the isotactic
polybutene-1 (iPB-1) homopolymer via manipulation of the temperature at which samples …

The coexistence of thin and thick lamellae of form II in isotactic polybutylene-1 (PB-1) was
obtained by isothermal crystallization at high temperature (100° C) and subsequent cooling …

The crystallization of entangled polymers from their melt is investigated using computer
simulation with a coarse-grained model. Using hybrid Monte Carlo simulations enables us to …

Probing the transformation from crystalline form II with 11/3 helical structure to form I with 3/1
helical structure in PB-1 and its nanocomposites is of great importance in both scientific …

Due to its biocompatible and pollution-free features, CO2 has been utilized to tune polymer
crystallization, and the crystallization dynamics of the polymer in a CO2 environment has …

Spherulites are the most ubiquitous of polycrystalline microstructure of polymers; they
develop under a wide range of conditions by the subsequent branching of crystalline lamella …
