DOI: 10.1002/marc.202200529
Abstract: Polymer crystalsomes are a class of hollow crystalline polymer nanoparticles with shells formed by single crystals with broken translational symmetry. They have shown intriguing mechanical, thermal, and biomedical properties associated with spherical packing. Previously reported… read more here.

Abstract: Spontaneous polarization P of mixed polymer crystals based on β poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF, -CH2-CF2-) and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (TFP, -CH2-CF(CF3)-) was evaluated for β-PVDF/iso-PTFP, β-PVDF/P(VDF-alt-iso-TFP) and β-PVDF/syndio-PTFP. A plane-wave-based density-functional theory (DFT) approach, combined with the Modern… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.123.207801
Abstract: We demonstrate by molecular simulations that the Ostwald ripening of crystalline polymer nuclei within the fast-evaporation-induced 2D skin layer is retarded at suitable temperatures and evaporation rates. Such an anomalous ripening can be attributed to… read more here.
