Safe and clean water is of pivotal importance to all living species and the ecosystem on
earth. However, the accelerating economy and industrialization of mankind generate water …

When cooled or pressurized, polymer melts exhibit a tremendous reduction in molecular
mobility. If the process is performed at a constant rate, the structural relaxation time of the …

The interest in confined crystallization has greatly increased with the development and
progress of nanotechnology applications. Polymeric confined crystallization has been …

Conspectus Crystallization of polymeric materials under nanoscopic confinement is highly
relevant for nanotechnology applications. When a polymer is confined within rigid …

The crystallization of heterogeneously nucleated bulk polymers typically occurs in a single
exothermic process, within a narrow temperature range, ie, a single exothermic peak is …

Solution self-assembly of coil-crystalline diblock copolypeptoids has attracted increasing
attention due to its capability to form hierarchical nanostructures with tailorable …

We review previous works on polymer confined crystallization employing strategies that
allow confinement to go from the micron to the nanometer scale: droplets, blends, block …

Polymer nanotechnology allows manipulating materials microstructure, morphology and
compositional variation on the nanometer scale. Thus, it is able to provide materials for …

Polymers with the same chemical composition can provide different properties by reducing
the dimension or simply by altering their nanostructure. The recent literature reports …

Science and technology have always been the vitals of human's struggle, utilized
exclusively for the development of novel tools and products, ranging from micro-to nanosize …
