Recently, we reported that strain-induced crystallization (SIC) of the polymer chains occurs in homogeneous polymer gels, such as slide-ring gels and Tri-/Tetra-PEG gels, with sufficiently high ...

Polymer crystallization involves the organisation of macromolecular chains into ordered regions through nucleation and lamellar growth, a process that unfolds over multiple length and time scales.

Polymer nanoparticles formed by polymerization-induced self-assembly inhibited ice recrystallization primarily through their ...
