摘要

Abstract

Spherulites are the most common crystalline morphology and thus the visual expression of crystal structures for polymers. The diversified patterns have provided intuitive morphology probes for various crystallization behaviors

while the correlations between them are still needed to be enriched. In this work

the complicated spherulitic morphology of poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF)

which is sensitive to crystallization temperature

is investigated. PPF melt

respectively

crystallizes into rough spherulites

regularly banded spherulites

and spherulites containing both two kinds of morphology at low

high

and mediate temperatures. By systematically assaying

it is clear that the growth axis along the radial direction changes from

-axis to

-axis as the crystallization temperature increases

which leads to the formation of unique crystallization-temperature-dependent spherulites. Based on detailed characterization of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy

the packing state of the specific hydrogen bonds of “C＝C―H···O＝C―C＝C” in PPF crystal lattices is determined

and furthermore

the mechanism for temperature-dependent selection of growth axes for PPF spherulites in melt is reasonably speculated.
