Crystallization behavior of biodegradable poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA)/poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) blends based on in situ simultaneous wide-angle x-ray diffraction/small-angle x-ray scattering techniques and thermal analyses

Yasushi Kadowaki et al.

Summary: The crystalline behavior of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA), polybutylene succinate (PBS), and their (PLLA/PBS) blends was investigated, and the molecular dispersed state of the components was analyzed. The results are significant for controlling the mechanical properties and crystalline state of PLLA/PBS blends.

Periodic Assembly of Polyethylene Spherulites Re-Investigated by Breakthrough Interior Dissection

Selvaraj Nagarajan et al.

Summary: The study investigates the crystallization of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) into periodic structures across a wide temperature range using a novel 3D dissection approach. It reveals that ring bands in HDPE crystallize within a wide temperature range (90-120 degrees C) all within regime-III growth. Detailed analyses of top-surface-relief patterns and 3D architectures of HDPE spherulites clarify the periodic morphology packed with single-crystal aggregates in correlation with optical banding patterns.

Unique Optical Periodicity Assembly of Discrete Dendritic Lamellae and Pyramidal Single Crystals in Poly(ε-caprolactone)

Selvaraj Nagarajan et al.

Summary: The unique zig-zag banded morphology of poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL), crystallized at high temperatures and confined in thin films, is found to be assembled of two different crystal entities: edge-on dendritic lamellar protrusions and flat-on pyramidal single crystals. These alternating PCL optical bands create straight dendrites and ridge bands, leading to a unique assembly mechanism of periodic optical rings. By utilizing melt crystallization techniques, PCL single crystals can be prepared and customized for various nanopattern applications.

Synchrotron X-Ray Analysis and Morphology Evidence for Stereo-Assemblies of Periodic Aggregates in Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) with Unusual Photonic Iridescence

Yu-Hsuan Liao et al.

Summary: This study explores the 3D morphology of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) crystallized in the presence of diluents of poly(1,3-trimethylene adipate) and poly(ethylene oxide) using a novel approach coupled with selective etching. Various microscopic techniques and synchrotron microbeam X-ray analysis were used to observe the crystal periodic aggregation mechanisms, proving the presence of periodic grating architectures in banded PHB. The findings suggest a critical breakthrough in understanding the grating structure in banded PHB by resemblance to nature's iridescence crystals and photonic reflection results.

Microstructural Periodic Arrays in Poly(Butylene Adipate) Featured with Photonic Crystal Aggregates

Selvaraj Nagarajan et al.

Summary: Investigations reveal that PBA can self-aggregate into unique periodic structures, which correlate with its special photonic properties. The interior lamellae are arc-shaped, with a structure in SEM that matches the optical inter-band spacing. A 3D assembly mechanism for PBA crystals is proposed, showing potential applications.

Lamellar Assembly Mechanism on Dendritic Ring-Banded Spherulites of Poly(ε-caprolactone)

Selvaraj Nagarajan

Summary: The self-assembly structures of lamellae in optical ring bands have a critical impact on their optical and physical arrangements. Two different types of dendritic banded spherulites have been identified, and the optical ring patterns of these spherulites are mainly differentiated by the fractal orientation of crystal branches in the ridge region. The 3D-lamellar assembly mechanisms proposed provide an explanation for the growth of dendritic ring-banded spherulites at different temperatures.

Periodic crystal assembly of Poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid-co-3-hydroxyvaleric acid): From surface to interior microstructure

Chun-Ning Wu et al.

Summary: The analysis of PHBV crystallization revealed the formation of unique ring-banded spherulites with alternate bands, ridge bands, and valley bands, formed in the presence of a polymeric diluent impurity. The aggregation of lamellae at specific temperatures resulted in complex 3D structures, repeating fractal patterns in cross-lamellar formations. These findings provide novel insights into the mechanisms of PHBV crystallization.
