Abstract: By crystallization of poly–ε–caprolactone (PCL) at temperatures (55 ∘C ≥ Tc ≥ 50 ∘C) close to the melting point (Tm = 61 ∘C), banded spherulites form. These structures show a periodicity of P = 32 µm as determined… read more here.

Abstract: Chiral silica, which acts as a nucleating agent of poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL), was demonstrated to induce excess handedness of lamellar twist in the banded spherulites of PCL blended with poly(viny... read more here.
