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

Over the past two decades, biomass‐derived and biodegradable polylactide (PLA) has
sparked tremendous attention as a sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum‐derived …

Flow-induced crystallization (FIC) of polymers is a long-standing, industrial relevant,
nonequilibrium thermodynamic challenge. Thanks to the development of in situ time and …

During industrial processing, such as film blowing and injection molding, semicrystalline
polymers have to be subjected to external flow. Flow changes the nucleation rate, crystal …

The effect of maleic-anhydride-grafted polypropylene compatibilizer on the crystallization
behavior of two isotactic polypropylene homopolymers is experimentally investigated under …

High performance polypropylene/glass fiber (PP/GF) composites were prepared by treating
GF with a film former (GFf) containing a certain ratio of maleic anhydride grafted …

Shish-kebab crystallites are initiated by the oriented precursors of the ordered structures in
the flow processing of polymer materials. In our previous work, we have proposed that the …

Poly (l-lactide)(PLLA) is a promising biodegradable alternative to petroleum-based plastics,
but it exhibits slow crystallization kinetics. Understanding flow-induced crystallization under …

The coupling effects of mold temperature and packing pressure fields on structure evolution
of isotactic polypropylene with β-nucleating agent (iPP/β) during injection molding were …

Using molecular dynamics simulation, strain-induced crystallization of polyethylene blends
containing long and short chains was investigated. It was found that both long and short …
