Manipulating Crystal Orientation of Poly(ethylene oxide) by Nanopores
Abstract
The confined crystallization behavior of a low molecular weight monodisperse polyethylene oxide (PEO) in anodic alumina oxide (AAO) templates was investigated. Homogeneous nucleation of polymer in AAO templates was confirmed. Within AAO with diameter larger than the contour length of PEO chains, the "kinetics selective growth" crystallization mechanism was confirmed based on the observation that the chain axis preferentially aligned perpendicular to the pore axis. However, when AAO diameter further decreases to a value smaller than the contour length of PEO, unique orientation with chain axis aligned parallel to the pore axis was observed for the first time. The results were discussed based on the competition between thermodynamics and kinetics during the crystallization process.

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.
