Research groups supported by industry tackle the challenges of continuous crystallization and process analytical technology. Continuous processing is attracting attention in the manufacture of both ...

A critical analysis is presented regarding the possible processes that determine polymer crystal growth, based mostly on the analysis of the structure and morphology of polymer single crystals. This ...

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 ...

Synthetic organic polymers are typically insoluble polycrystalline or amorphous products rather than single crystals. The direct synthesis of single-crystal porous polymers remains a challenge in ...

Different from small molecules, polymer will fold into lamellar crystals during crystallization and further assemble into lamellar stacks. Synchrotron Small-Angle X-Ray Scattering (SAXS) is an ...

The intricate shapes of snowflakes have long fascinated scientists, but water isn’t the only fluid that freezes into elaborate crystal structures. Polymers and metal alloys do the same. Now, ...
