Macroscopic CNT fibres inducing non-epitaxial nucleation and orientation of semicrystalline polymers

In the presence of macroscopic fibres of carbon nanotubes (CNT), various semicrystalline polymers are shown to present accelerated crystallisation through the formation of a transcrystalline (TC) layer perpendicular to the fibre axis. From differential scanning calorimetry, polarized optical microsc...
