摘要

Macromolecular features in polymer crystallization offer the products high performances in the mechanical properties and specific functions.

Abstract

This review firstly gives an overview on the importance of crystallization in natural and synthetic polymers/macromolecules. Then it introduces the typical features that have been raised by chain-like macromolecules in crystallization

including anisotropic interactions in the thermodynamic driving forces

chain folding in the crystal morphologies

chemical confinement in the copolymer crystallization

and mechanical enhancement in the stretching processes. Four features separately cover the thermodynamics and the kinetics of polymer crystallization

as well as the crystallinity and the mechanical properties of semicrystalline polymers. The review ends up with how these features enhance specific functions of crystalline polymers

which demonstrates polymer crystallization as a challenging yet promising field in the future.
