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 …

The SAFT-γ Mie group-contribution (GC) equation of state (EoS) is employed to describe the
thermodynamic properties of aqueous mixtures of polyethylene glycol (PEG), a polyether of …

It has recently been established that polymer crystallization can preferentially place
nanoparticles (NPs) into the amorphous domains of a lamellar semicrystalline morphology …

Poly (ethylene oxide) in butanol reveals two exotherms in differential scanning calorimetry
(DSC) scans during cooling and two endotherms in DSC scans during heating. Using small …

Materials are more easily damaged during accidents that involve rapid deformation. Here, a
design strategy is described for electronic materials comprised of conducting polymers that …

We examine the morphology and properties of zone-annealed (ZA) poly (ethylene
oxide)(PEO) and its miscible blends with poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) over a range of …

Recent experimental work has shown that polymer crystallisation can be used to “move” and
organize nanoparticles (NP). As a first effort at modeling this situation, we consider the …

Nearly fifty years ago Lovinger and Gryte suggested that the directional crystallization of a
polymer was analogous to the quiescent isothermal crystallization experiment but at a …

It has been proposed that the nonisothermal directional crystallization of a polymer driven by
a moving sink has an exact analogy to an equivalent isothermal crystallization protocol. We …

Lamellar crystal-dominated (LCD) surfaces hold great superiority and broad prospects in
polymer surface engineering. The key to this is avoiding the formation of an amorphous …
