Solid-State Microstructures, Thermal Properties, and Crystallization of Biodegradable Poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and Its Copolyesters
242
TL;DR: Investigations on the crystalline and amorphous phase structures and sizes by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) method have provided quantitative evidence that the existence of second comonomers increases theAmorphous thickness of copolyesters but that the influences of comonomer on the lamellar crystal structure and size ofCopolyesters are complicated.

Theory of Formation of Polymer Crystals with Folded Chains in Dilute Solution.
TL;DR: The theory given for loop nuclei is both general and precise enough at the critical points to suggest that, on crystallization from sufficiently dilute solution, crystals of a definite step height are commonly to be expected for other crystallizable linear polymers than polyethylene, provided loop formation is sterically possible.
Processability and properties of aliphatic polyesters, ‘BIONOLLE’, synthesized by polycondensation reaction
TL;DR: A new grade of BIONOLLE (coded #1900 series), which has a long chain branch (LCB), high melt tension and high recrystallization rate, has been developed, to enable stretched blown bottles and highly expanded foams to be made easily as mentioned in this paper.

Computerization of Ruland's X-ray method for determination of the crystallinity in polymers
TL;DR: In this article, a general procedure for determination of the crystallinity in polymers from the X-ray diffraction pattern was developed by modifying the method described by Ruland [Acta Cryst. (1961), 14, 1180-1185] on two points.
