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

The self-assembly of block copolymers (BCPs) in the presence of crystallization as the
second driving force is reviewed, for BCPs in the bulk, thin films, single crystals and micelles …

Chain-folding represents a motif configuration in lamellar polymer crystals as well as in
protein beta-sheets. This report presents a survey on our current understanding about …

Crystallization behaviors of organic phase change materials (PCMs) confined in porous
supports, which are determined by the interactions between PCM molecules and channel …

Herein we establish a relationship between controlled nanoscale surface interactions and
subsequent macromolecular ordering. Striped surfaces of oxide and metal are generated …

The creation of synthetic 2D materials represents an attractive challenge that is ultimately
driven by their prospective uses in, for example, electronics, biomedicine, catalysis, sensing …

Crystallization within the discrete spheres of a block copolymer mesophase was studied by
time-resolved x-ray scattering. The cubic packing of microdomains, established by self …

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 …

For almost a decade, growing experimental evidence has revealed a strong correlation
between the properties of nanoconfined polymers and the number of chains irreversibly …

The dependence of properties on the structure and morphology of semicrystalline polymers
offers an effective way to tailor the properties of these materials through crystal engineering …
