The crystallization kinetics of solid polymers affects their nanoscale structure and the degree of crystallinity, and in turn, plays a significant role in the specific mechanical and physical ...

To convert polymers from raw materials into the final product, a processing stage is required that involves a molten state, commonly known as melt. The final product will normally be in a ...

Semicrystalline polymer structure: Ordered regions characterized by a high degree of crystallinity are interspersed with amorphous, or irregular, regions. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

A machine learning method developed by researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo, the Institute of Statistical Mathematics, and other institutions accurately predicts liquid crystallinity of ...

The detailed morphology of a polymer product, i.e., the degree of orientation and the level of crystallinity of the polymer molecules, greatly affects its physical properties. Crystallinity of a ...

For semi-crystalline polymers, the crystallinity rate is a key parameter which directly influences mechanical properties, such as mechanical resistance or stiffness, as well as thermal and gas barrier ...

Chemometrics or multivariate techniques are normally applied to a range of solutions or material mixtures in an attempt to develop methods to “predict” concentrations of the various chemical species.

eoregularity in the polymer main chain. Accordingly, polymers with low stereoregularity (atactic polymers) tend to be less valuable materials; for example, polypropylene can be a useful material only ...
