| Conversely, in partially miscible or immiscible blends, the noncrystallizable polymer generally disturbs spherulite growth. |
|
| The crystallization rate, crystalline thickness, and spherulite size affect the thermomechanical properties of PLA articles significantly. |
|
| They added a clarifying agent such as a dibenzylidene sorbitol acetal derivative, reducing spherulite sizes, which reduces light scattering and maintains clarity. |
|
| Polarized optical microscopy equipped with a sapphire hot stage was used to determine the nucleation density and spherulite growth rates on thin polymer films. |
|
| Spherulite morphology is observed when samples are melt or solution cast. |
|
| Spherulite radii were measured with image analysis software. |
