Abstract:The process of formation and melting of neoprene crystallites was investigated by the polarized light scattering method. Conclusions about the nonreversibility of the crystallization and melting processes were drawn on the basis of angular distribution measurements of depolarized and polarized components of light scattered from polymer films. The appearance of a relatively small number of large crystallites is characteristic for the initiation of crystallization; further development of crystallization is accom… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
