Scientists have come up with a new technique to evaluate the mechanical forces generated in polymer crystallization as they cool down from their molten state. They used small, fluorescent molecules to ...

Spherulites are the main morphological form of polymers crystallized from melts. The phase transformation kinetics is of primary importance for technological profit, as the crystallization mechanism ...

Polymer electrolytes in lithium-metal batteries can still host dendrite growth deep inside, revealing a hidden failure mode ...

A thorough understanding of the kinetics of crystallization facilitates the development of new polymer materials. Raman spectroscopy is very well suited to the study of property/structure/process ...

In the context of polymer crystallization there are several still open and often controversially debated questions. The present volume addresses issues such as novel general views and concepts which ...

Research groups supported by industry tackle the challenges of continuous crystallization and process analytical technology. Nicholas Morley/E+/GETTY IMAGES Continuous processing is attracting ...

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 247, No. 921 (Aug. 10, 1954), pp. 1-12 (13 pages) An exploration has been made of the ...

The systematic pleating of polymer molecules in their crystallization, in segments of a length of the order of 100 Å, which depends on the crystallization temperature, is interpreted in terms of the ...

Lithium-metal batteries are among the most promising technologies for energy storage. They offer significantly more energy in ...
