Crystallization in Nano‐Confined Polymeric Systems

Müller, Alejandro J., Arnal, Maria Luisa, Lorenzo, Arnaldo T.·2013·Handbook of Polymer Crystallization

Abstract

This chapter discusses the principal aspects and advances of crystallization within confined geometries. Confined crystallization is a phenomenon that occurs in droplet dispersions, polymer blends, block copolymers, and thin films. Confinement has many consequences on the nucleation and crystallization behavior. Among the most notorious are the production of fractionated crystallization and the possibility of isolating crystallizable phases whose nucleation may be very different: heterogeneous, superficial, or homogeneous nucleation. In specific cases confinement can also lead to crystal modifications for polymorphic polymers. In specific block copolymer cases, fractionated crystallization can lead to fractionated melting with little apparent reorganization during the scan. The reorganization process during heating scans that may occur in confined microdomains (MDs) are in most cases due to the large supercoolings involved in the production of the crystals rather than to confinement effects.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
