Self-Nucleation Effects on Polymer Crystallization
Open accessAbstract
The existence of a “memory” of the previous crystalline state, which survives melting and enhances recrystallization kinetics by a self-nucleation process, is well-known in polymer crystallization studies. Despite being extensively investigated, since the early days of polymer crystallization studies, a complete understanding of melt memory effects is still lacking. In particular, the exact constitution of self-nuclei is still under debate. In this Perspective, we provide a comprehensive and critical overview of melt memory effects in polymer crystallization. After the phenomenology of the process and some key concepts are introduced, the main experimental results of the past decades are summarized. Analogies and discrepancies of the melt memory characteristics of different polymeric systems are highlighted. Based on this background, the most significant interpretations and theories of melt memory effects are described, underlining that different interpretations may apply to various specific cases. Recent insights into self-nucleation, gained thanks to a multitechnique approach (combining calorimetry, rheology, and infrared and dielectric spectroscopies), are presented. The role of intra/interchain segmental contacts in the strength of melt memory effects, and the differences between homopolymers and copolymers behavior, are discussed. Finally, we identify areas where further research in the field is needed to shed light on the long-standing questions regarding the origin of melt memory effects in semicrystalline polymers.

It has been postulated that self-nuclei in Domain IIa can be regions in the melt where partial orientation of the chains remains, due to the survival of inter-segmental interactions that were present in the crystalline state.
“It has been postulated that they can be regions in the melt where partial orientation of the chains remain, thanks to the survival of inter-segmental interactions that were present in the crystalline state [ 321 , 322 , 333-337 ].”

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.
