Analysis of the nanophase structure of semicrystalline polymers with atomic force microscopy (AFM),microcalorimetry (MC),and temperature-modulated calorimetry (TMC)

摘要

Semicrystalline,polymeric materials consist usually of metastable aggregates of strongly coupled microphases or nanophases with their constituent,micrometerlong,flexible molecules traversing multiple phase domains.Some 40 years ago it was established that well-formed crystals are often lamellar weith a thickness of only about 10 nm.Between these lamellae one can find the remaining amorphous phase with even smaller dimensions.
