Interior Lamellar Assembly and Optical Birefringence in Poly(trimethylene terephthalate) Spherulites: Mechanisms from Past to Present

Poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) with its unique spherulitic morphologies, highly birefringent features, and crystal stability serves as a good candidate to study polymer crystallization and assembly. This review compiles the main findings on crystallization in PTT, including birefringence and...
