Flow-Induced Crystallization of Polybutene-1

Flow-induced Crystallization (FIC) is an important
area in polymer processing and has since a long time
been researched intensively. Here, the FIC study
extends into the high flow rate range, comparable to
that encountered in real processing, and considers
two main flow types: shear and elongational. The
second topic is to investigate the effects of
several molecular parameters on the crystallization
behaviour. Polybutene-1 (PB-1) was chosen as the
research m ...
