Sluggish growth of poly(ε-caprolactone) leads to petal-shaped aggregates packed with thick-stack lamellar bundles
Selvaraj Nagarajan, Eamor M. Woo
Abstract
Kinetically sluggish growth of poly(ε-caprolactone) leads to peculiar camellia-petal-like bands on top, where a stereo-dissection demonstrates interior self-assembled lamellae being periodically grating-structured.
