Crystallization and Ring‐Banded Spherulite Morphology of Poly(ethylene oxide)‐ block ‐Poly( ε ‐caprolactone) Diblock Copolymer
Abstract
Summary: The crystallization behavior of crystalline‐crystalline diblock copolymer containing poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly( ε ‐caprolactone) (PCL), in which the weight fraction of PCL is 0.815, has been studied via differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD), and polarized optical microscopy (POM). DSC and WAXD indicated that both PEO and PCL blocks crystallize in the block copolymer. POM revealed a ring‐banded spherulite morphology for the PEO‐ b ‐PCL diblock copolymer. DSC heating curve for the PEO‐ b ‐PCL block copolymer. magnified image DSC heating curve for the PEO‐ b ‐PCL block copolymer.

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.
