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

It is the aim of this article to review the major theories of polymer crystallization since up to
now we still have not completely comprehended the underlying mechanism in a unified …

Theoretical approaches addressing the mechanism of polymer crystallization remain the
great challenge in polymer science. Numerous different, or even conflicting, models/theories …

This review will cover small-angle X-ray scattering of polymers, especially with the use of
synchrotron radiation. By nature, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) probes relatively large …

We report the first computer experiments with supercooled polymer melts of chains long
enough to form chain-folded structures. These structures resemble the lamellae of polymer …

Abstract Polyamide 12 (PA12)-based powders are the most used materials in the laser
sintering (LS) process for rapid manufacturing of functional parts. An average of 80–90 per …

Molecular dynamics simulations of supercooled polymer melts are reported for long chains.
This is the first simulation study at melt densities where the formation of chain-folded …

The modern availability of sensitive experimental techniques using synchrotron radiation
and atomic force microscopy, and fast computers for molecular modeling, has spurred recent …

In-situ synchtrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction
(WAXD) are used to follow the isothermal crystallization (lamellar thickness, crystallinity …

We have investigated the molecular mechanisms of primordial stages of polymer
crystallization from solutions using Langevin dynamics simulations and theoretical models …
