摘要

Abstract

In the current work

a custom-made vibration injection molding device that can provide oscillatory pressure was utilized to create an injection-molded hierarchical structure. Growth competition among

and

phases in the injection-molded structure can be studied because of the presence of this hierarchical structure

wherein shish-kebab and spherulite layers were arranged alternately along the thickness direction. The

crystals only existed in layers subjected to high pressure and shear stress

whereas

crystals formed between the shear layers. The change in trend of the

fraction was similar to that of parent-to-daughter ratio. In addition

this hierarchical and alternating crystal structure can sharply increase the mechanical properties.
