“…The |Q| value for the maximum is ~0.0325 Å −1 , corresponding to a long period of ~195 Å. This confirms observations made previously that the DBS directs the lamellar growth direction but does not otherwise change the lamellar characteristics [ 7 , 26 ]. There is also a horizontal streak on the equatorial section which was not present in the patterns recorded for the PCL and PCL/PVB samples.…”

“…The addition of nucleating agents to polymers may be used to control the crystal structure as in the case of β-nucleating agents for isotactic polypropylene [ 35 ], to control of the spherulite size in packaging films [ 12 ] and in general the addition of nucleating agents leads to stiffer products [ 12 ]. We have shown in a series of papers how nucleating agents can be exploited to provide a common orientation of row nuclei to generate structures with a common lamellar crystal orientation [ 5 , 7 , 24 ]. Figure 6 shows the geometry of this process.…”

“…Generally, incorporation of β-nucleating agents (β-NAs) is the most feasible industrial way to boost the number of β-crystals and enhance the toughness of PP products. 68…”
