Semicrystalline polymers products usually adopt a crystallized form in their end-use
environment. These crystallized polymers undergo various deformations under different …

In this review, the phenomenon of polymorphism in polymers is discussed on the basis of
the thermodynamic stability of different polymorphs that defines the conformations of chains …

Metastable crystal phase of polymorphic polymers can transform into another phase through
a melt recrystallization pathway, which involves the melting of the original polymorph and …

The properties of semicrystalline polymeric materials depend remarkably on their structures,
especially for those exhibiting a polymorphic behavior. This offers an efficient way to tailor …

Thin films of isotactic polybutene-1 (iPBu) with large lathlike flat-on form II crystals were
prepared by isothermal crystallization from melt at 105° C. The II–I phase transition of this …

Curcumin and sulfathiazole exist as three and five polymorphs, respectively. We correlate
solubility and mechanical properties in these polymorphic systems. It is seen that hardness …

A study of the crystallization behavior and mechanical properties of random isotactic butene–
ethylene copolymers prepared with a metallocene catalyst is presented. The use of the …

In this work, the memory effect on the phase transition from form II to I of isotactic polybutene-
1 (iPB-1) in the flow field is studied with in situ wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) …

The effect of confinement on the crystallization, crystal orientation, and polymorphic crystal
transition of bulk and infiltrated polybutene-1 (PB-1) within anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) …

The influence of mixing of iPB-1/iPP blend on the polymorphism of iPB-1 under processing-
relevant conditions is studied with emphasis on the competition between the …
