Fractional crystallization and phase segregation in binary miscible poly (butylene succinate)/poly (ethylene oxide) crystalline blends: Effect of crystallization temperature
Abstract
Abstract The effects of crystallization temperature of PBS (TIC,PBS) on the fractional crystallization, phase segregation, and crystalline morphology of PEO in their miscible crystalline/crystalline blends are investigated. The crystallization kinetics and phase segregation of PEO are considerably influenced by TIC,PBS. A higher TIC,PBS results in the crystallization of PEO at an extremely large degree of supercooling and may facilitate the segregation of PEO within the interlamellar regions of PBS. At a high TIC,PBS (e.g., 95 °C), the long period, thickness of amorphous and crystalline layers of PBS increase upon blending with PEO. The TIC,PBS dependence of phase segregation of the PEO component is discussed from a thermodynamic as well as a kinetic perspective. magnified image

Increasing the PBS crystallization temperature (Tc,PBS) has a similar effect to increasing the PBS component concentration on the fractionated crystallization behavior of PEO.
“It should be noted from the comparison between Fig. 11 A and 11 B that increasing T c, PBS has a similar effect of increasing the PBS component concentration on the fractionated crystallization behavior of PEO.”
From Fractionated crystallization in semicrystalline polymers (2021) · cites this paper as [72]
A higher Tc,PBS can facilitate the segregation of PEO chains within the interlamellar regions of PBS crystal.
“It is evident that a higher T c, PBS can facilitate the segregation of PEO chains within the interlamellar regions of PBS crystal.”

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.
