Thermal analysis showed that the polyamides had a nucleating effect on PET crystallization, whereas crystallization of the polyamides was inhibited especially in compatibilized blends.
MWCNTs had a significant nucleating effect on PCL resulting in increased PCL crystallinity and an electrically insulating layer between MWCNTs.
No indications were obtained that the 1,2-epoxybutane modified end groups exhibit a nucleating effect on the PBT crystallisation.
DSC measurements of the blends revealed a nucleating effect of CPHNA60 and rheology investigations showed a decreased melt viscosity even at 0.5 wt% CPHNA60 content.
When the crystallization was studied with DSC and X-ray diffraction, small amounts of POSS were revealed in the matrix and a nucleating effect was produced.
A nucleating effect from the interface of the phase-separated domains is suggested to promote early crystallization in the upper Tc phase.
"It has a cooling effect.
"It has a powerful effect".
