Fast scanning chip calorimetry in its non-adiabatic version allows for heating and cooling at
rates up to 10 6 K s− 1, covering all polymer processing relevant rates. Furthermore it allows …

This review is devoted to the advances in the modification of the strength and toughness of
semi-crystalline polymers. Past efforts to obtain ultra-strength polymeric fibers are discussed …

Semi-crystalline polymers containing amorphous and crystalline regions usually have
intimately mixed chains. The resulting topological constraints (entanglements) in the …

The ease in processability of synthetic polymers has led to their fast growth as commodity as
well as engineering plastic, whereas the latter are used in case of demanding applications …

A new method is developed to homogeneously disperse single-walled carbon nanotubes
bundles (SWNTs) in an intractable polymer, for example, ultrahigh molecular weight …

The crystalline structures associated with melting and crystallization behaviors of
monodisperse linear polyethylene confined in cylindrical nanopores were investigated by X …

The improvement of strength and durability in polymers has implications relevant to
industrial, medical, and household applications. Enhanced by the improved knowledge of …

The characterization of structure and dynamics of macromolecular and supramolecular
systems represents an ongoing challenge. This is due to the fact that soft matter systems …

Macromolecules form entanglements, the presence of which determines many of the
polymer's properties; in solution, melt, and solid state. In this review, how the properties of …

The structural evolution of poly (butylene succinate)(PBS) crystals after crystallization at
100° C has been investigated by synchrotron wide-angle and small-angle X-ray scattering …
