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

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

This paper presents a comprehensive review of the literature on one-dimensional (1D)
nanostructures (nanowires, nanoribbons, nanotubes, nanobelts, and nanofibers) of π …

Molecular design of ionic current rectifiers created on the basis of single conical nanopores
is receiving increasing attention by the scientific community. Part of the appeal of this topic …

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 …

Thin films of block copolymers are widely seen as enablers for nanoscale fabrication of
semiconductor devices, membranes, and other structures, taking advantage of microphase …

The crystallization of highly isotactic polypropylene confined in self-ordered nanoporous
alumina is studied by differential scanning calorimetry. A transformation from a …

Semicrystalline polymers are solids that are supposed to flow only above their melting
temperature. By using confinement within nanoscopic cylindrical pores, we show that a …

We review recent neutron scattering work and related results from simulation and
complementary techniques focusing on the microscopic dynamics of polymers under …

We report on the effect of interfacial energy on the glass temperature, T g, of several
amorphous polymers with various glass temperatures and polymer/substrate interactions …
