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

Polysaccharide-based aerogels have high application value as one kind of unique
functional materials. Not only has it high porosity and low-density, but also the non-toxicity …

The existence of a “memory” of the previous crystalline state, which survives melting and
enhances recrystallization kinetics by a self-nucleation process, is well-known in polymer …

Graphene oxide nanosheets (GONs) treatment of anionic dyeing wastewater has been
characterized by low removal efficiency due to its electronegativity. However, further …

The crystallization kinetics of semicrystalline polymers is often studied with isothermal
experiments and analyzed by fitting the data with analytical expressions of the Avrami and …

Self-nucleation (SN) is a special nucleation process triggered by self-seeds or self-nuclei
that are generated in a given polymeric material by specific thermal protocols or by inducing …

There has been considerable interest in the nucleation and crystallization of polymers in the
presence of nanoparticles (NPs, or nanofillers in general, NFs). Most of the extensive work in …

Biodegradable block copolymers have been obtained as promising biomaterials because
their hydrophilicity, mechanical and physical properties can be manipulated by combining …

Nucleating agents (NAs) are widely used for speeding up processing and tuning the final
optical and mechanical properties. Despite their industrial importance, the search for highly …

Abstract This Feature Article reviews our recent work on the nucleation and crystallization of
finely dispersed semicrystalline polymeric droplets in immiscible matrices. Droplets …
