How to regulate the isothermal growth rate of polymer spherulite without changing its molecular composition?

Abstract

A new method has been invented to control the spherulite growth rate of isothermally crystallized PBS without changing its molecular composition.

Enhanced crystallization rate of biodegradable poly(butylene succinate-co-ethylene succinate) by poly(butylene fumarate) as an efficient polymeric nucleating agent

“…[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] In addition, some polymers may also act as polymeric nucleating agents for biodegradable polymers. [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] For instance, Tsuji et al found that polyglycolide (PGA) could accelerate the crystallization process of PLLA by acting as a polymeric nucleating agent. 31 Zhang et al and Li et al reported that polyoxymethylene (POM) may enhance the crystallization process of PLLA by acting as a polymeric nucleating agent in their separate works.…”
