Flow-induced crystallization (FIC) is a typical nonequilibrium phase transition and a core
industry subject for the largest group of commercially useful polymeric materials …

This review reflects different aspects of wide current studies of the phenomena related to the
shear-induced structure transformation in various complex liquids. Experimental data, being …

It has been well established that, although both shear flow and β-nucleating agent could
separately induce β-crystals in isotactic polypropylene (iPP) in an efficient manner, their …

Flow-enhanced nucleation of the crystal phase under shear and uniaxial extension for a
monodisperse melt of n-pentacontahectane (C 150 H 302 or C150) chains was studied by …

A modeling framework is presented to describe flow-induced crystallization of isotactic
polypropylene at elevated pressures in multiple crystal phases and morphologies. By …

(2001)] to flow-enhanced pointlike nucleation, which can lead to number densities of
spherulites multiplied by orders of magnitude. Excellent agreement between simulations …

The effect of particles with different diameters on flow-induced crystallization from low shear
rates to processing speeds is studied using mixtures of polypropylene and zinc oxide with …

Different types of regular and irregular self-organized structures observed in deformation of
colloid and polymer substances (“complex fluids”) are discussed and classified. This review …

Molecular properties are reflected in the rheological and crystallization behavior. The first
task is to design and use some well‐defined experiments that reveal all these features …

A continuum-level model for nonisothermal polymer crystallization following a complex flow
is presented, along with a fundamental rule that may be employed to determine if the flow …
