Published in 2025 at "Advanced Materials"

DOI: 10.1002/adma.202505444

Abstract: Reported here is the synthesis of stretchable hydrogels with large spherulites of different morphologies by polymerization‐induced crystallization of dopant molecules. By varying the concentrations of chemical crosslinker and initiator, or the light intensity for photopolymerization,… read more here.

Published in 2019 at "Colloid and Polymer Science"

DOI: 10.1007/s00396-019-04503-8

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.

Published in 2019 at "ACS Macro Letters"

DOI: 10.1021/acsmacrolett.9b00416

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.

Published in 2024 at "Polymers"

DOI: 10.3390/polym16172411

Abstract: The decades-long paradigm of continuous and perpetual lamellar twisting constituting banded spherulites has been found to be inconsistent with several recent studies showing discontinuity regions between consecutive bands, for which, however, no explanation has been… read more here.
