Mechanism of thickness determination in polymer crystals

Based upon kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of crystallization in a simple polymer mode) we present a new picture of the mechanism by which the thickness of lamellar polymer crystals is constrained to a value close to the minimum thermodynamically stable thickness. This description contrasts with tho...

description Based upon kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of crystallization in a simple polymer mode) we present a new picture of the mechanism by which the thickness of lamellar polymer crystals is constrained to a value close to the minimum thermodynamically stable thickness. This description contrasts with those given by the two dominant theoretical approaches.
