Explosive Fibonacci-sequence growth into unusual sector-face morphology in poly(l-lactic acid) crystallized with polymeric diluents
Abstract Lamellar assembly in unusual sector-face PLLA spherulites from crystallization of poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) diluted with amorphous poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The growth and morphology of the crystalline structures is studied using polarized optical microscopy (POM), atomic-force and...
