In-Situ Growth of Nucleus Geometry to Dual Types of Periodically Ringed Assemblies in Poly(nonamethylene terephthalate)

Monitoring of nucleus geometry and growth into dual types of periodically ring-banded morphology in poly(nonamethylene terephthalate) (PNT), respectively, Type-1 and Type-2, are done with detailed analyses using polarized-light optical microscopy (POM) in-situ CCD recording; the periodic assembly mo...
