As reported in our previous work, banded spherulites of isotactic poly(2-vinylpyridine) (iP2VP) with preferred handedness of twisted lamellae can be formed by the inducement of chiral dopants, i.e., (R)- or (S)-hexahydromandelic acids (HMAs). In the present work, we systematically studied the behaviors of chirality transfer in the crystallization of iP2VP associated with the chiral dopant. As evidenced...
In order to obtain a clear understanding to the interplay between the homogeneous crystal (α form) of PLA and its stereocomplex (SC) crystal, the crystalline behavior of PLA homopolymer under the surface drive force of SC and homopolymer fibers has been investigated in the present work. It was found that the nucleating density of the transcrystallization layer along the SC fiber was much lower than...
Formation of stereocomplex crystals (sc-crystals) of poly(l-lactide)/poly(d-lactide) (PLLA/PDLA) blend has been recognized as a unique opportunity to dramatically improve the heat-resistant of poly(lactic acid) (PLA). In this study, we investigated the dynamic formation and transition of sc-crystals in PLLA/PDLA drawn film with a combination of in-situ synchrotron wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS),...
The epitaxial crystallization behavior of olefin block copolymers (OBCs) on uniaxially oriented isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) films has been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The crystallizable blocks of the OBCs under investigation were epitaxially nucleated by both iPP and HDPE substrates and epitaxial growth of OBC lamellae was observed...
The mesophase separation and crystallization as well as the elastomeric properties of olefin multi-block copolymers (OBCs) are studied. The solid state morphologies of the OBCs are determined by the competition between mesophase separation and crystallization of hard blocks. The OBC with lower Δ C8 (octene content difference between soft and hard blocks) displays a spherulitic superstructure,...
