The crystallization of heterogeneously nucleated bulk polymers typically occurs in a single
exothermic process, within a narrow temperature range, ie, a single exothermic peak is …

In this feature article we review the principles, applications and perspectives of SSA or
Successive Self-nucleation and Annealing, a technique designed and implemented by …

In this paper we offer guidelines to adequately fit isothermal polymer crystallization kinetics
data obtained by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) employing the widely used Avrami …

The pathway of crystal nucleation significantly influences the structure and properties of
semi-crystalline polymers. Crystal nucleation is normally heterogeneous at low …

We present a general mechanism for the solution self-assembly of crystalline-core micelles
(CCMs) from triblock copolymers bearing a semicrystalline polyethylene (PE) middle block …

The crystallization kinetics and morphology of biodegradable and double crystalline poly (l-
lactide)-b-poly (ε-caprolactone) diblock copolymers (PLLA-b-PCL) was studied in a wide …

Porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates with 20, 35, and 60 nm cylindrical pores
were prepared and subsequently infiltrated with poly (ethylene oxide), PEO, polyethylene …

Block copolymer membranes with a semicrystalline polyethylene component were prepared
by anionic polymerization and postpolymerization functionalization reactions. Polybutadiene …

Classical kinetic theories of polymer crystallization were applied to isothermal crystallization
kinetics data obtained by polarized optical microscopy (PLOM) and differential scanning …

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 …
