The use of a low-molar-mass self-assembled template to direct the crystallisation of poly(ε-caprolactone)

The use of a low-molar-mass self-assembled template to direct the crystallisation of poly(ε-caprolactone)

We show that small quantities of dibenzylidene sorbitol dispersed in poly(ε-caprolactone) provide a self-assembling nanoscale framework to yield high levels of crystal orientation. During modest shear flow of the melt, the additive forms highly extended nanoparticles which adopt a preferred alignmen...
