Heterogeneous nucleation of polyethylene crystals on binary hexagonal nanoplatelets

Crystal nucleating agents offer an effective strategy for controlling the morphology, dimensional stability and rate of solidification of polymers during processing. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation can shed light on nucleation behavior at the nanoscopic length and time scales over which nucleatio...
