The results presented in this work show for the first time that an electric field used to
macroscopically align polymer nanofibers can also align polymer chains parallel to the fiber …

In situ and real-time characterization of molecular structures and orientation of proteins at
interfaces is essential to understand the nature of interfacial protein interaction. Such work …

The orientational distribution of chain segments or crystals in polymeric materials is most
conveniently described as a series expansion of rotation matrix elements. Rotation matrices …

Good quality polarized Raman spectra of a single wool fiber and an intact feather barbule
are presented. The intensity ratio of the α‐helix component of the amide I band measured …

Raman spectroscopy has been used for the first time for the characterization of perfectly 1: 1
alternating α-olefin: carbon monoxide aliphatic polyketones produced by the polymerization …

Polarized Raman macrospectrometry and confocal Raman microspectrometry have been
used to evaluate the uniaxial draw of polyethylene (PE) at a draw ratio of∼ 6. The draw was …

Polarized confocal Raman microscopy has been used to measure molecular orientation in
uniaxially drawn poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) films, prepared with draw ratios from 1 …

An optical microscopy study and a micro‐Raman spectroscopy study were carried out on
polyethylene samples subjected to an environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR) test …

The linear diphenyl polyene Φ-(C= C-) _4Φ has been investigated as a resonant Raman-
active probe for molecular orientation, suitable for incorporation into polymers prior to melt …

Crystallization of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) from the melt in the presence of poly
(ethyleneterephthalate)(PET) fibers has been shown to produce preferential nucleation at …
