Fast scanning chip calorimetry in its non-adiabatic version allows for heating and cooling at
rates up to 10 6 K s− 1, covering all polymer processing relevant rates. Furthermore it allows …

This paper contains new views about the amorphous and partially ordered phases of the
three polymers listed in the title. The discussion is based on information on structure …

Polymeric crystals are more complex in nature than other materials' crystal structures due to
significant structural disorder present. The only comprehensive reference on polymer …

Fast scanning calorimetry becomes more and more important because an increasing
number of materials are created or used far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Fast scanning …

The structural formation of polymers during processing significantly influences the
mechanical properties and the temperature stability of polymer products. The analysis of …

Fast scanning calorimetry (FSC) has been used to investigate the kinetics of nonisothermal
crystallization, isothermal crystallization, and melting for semicrystalline polymers (ie, poly …

The crystallization and nucleation kinetics of poly (ε-caprolactones)(PCL) with molar masses
between 1.4 and 6.1 kDa and negligible number of heterogeneous nuclei has been …

The morphology and thermodynamic stability of crystals of isotactic polypropylene (iPP)
were analyzed as a function of the path of crystallization by atomic force microscopy (AFM) …

The rigid amorphous fraction in isotactic polypropylene is comprehensively analyzed as a
function of the history of crystallization. The crystallinity, crystal morphology, and …

A wide set of crystallization isotherms and the subsequent melting behavior of isotactic
polypropylene (i-PP) were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry and …
