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

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 …

Polymer nanocomposites have been an area of active research for the past 20 years. Of all
potential fillers for polymer nanocomposites, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are of particular …

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 …

Lithium batteries are in high demand in different technological fields. However, the operating
temperature is required to be below 70° C, and this limits their use in applications …

In this paper we reexamine recent results obtained by our group on the crystallization of
nanocomposites and linear and miktoarm star copolymers in order to obtain some general …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) represent one of the most promising materials in nanoscience
today, with their unique electronic, chemical and mechanical properties. Strong van der …

In this work, the nucleation and crystallization behavior of melt mixed PCL/CNT
nanocomposites has been studied. The mixtures of PCL and pristine MWNTs were prepared …

A single carbon nanotube has many similarities with an individual polymer chain including
the fact that the end‐to‐end length of both are often about the same and the diameter of the …

Low polydispersity linear and cyclic poly (ε-caprolactone) with molecular weights of 2–7.5
kg/mol were synthesized. Differences in the morphology of cyclic and linear single crystals …
