Structural phase transitions of syndiotactic polystyrene
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the literature on the crystal structures exhibited by syntactic polystyrene, including, the mechanisms of solvent-induced crystallization, thermally induced crystallization and gelation, and the phase transitions among the various crystalline forms.

Synthesis of syndiotactic polystyrene: Reaction mechanisms and catalysis
Riccardo Po,Nicoletta Cardi +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the scientific and patent literature on the synthesis of syndiotactic poly(styrene) is discussed in this article, where the main aspects of the polymerization mechanism are elucidated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermoreversible protein hydrogel as cell scaffold.
TL;DR: A thermoreversible fibrillar hydrogel has been formed from an aqueous lysozyme solution in the presence of dithiothreitol, indicating the development of organized actin filaments in the form of stress fibers in cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermoreversible Gelation of Regioregular Poly(3-hexylthiophene) in Xylene
TL;DR: In this paper, the Flory-Weaver theory of coil-to-helix transition was applied to the 3-hexylthiophene (P3HT) gel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of gel morphology and properties of a class of metallo- supramolecular polymers by good/poor solvent environments
TL;DR: In this paper, the morphology and properties of a class of stimuli-responsive metallo-supramolecular gels can be systematically tailored through the utilization of a mixed solvent system, consisting of a good solvent (DMSO) with either a nonsolvent (water) or a poor solvent (ethylene glycol).

Crystallization of polymers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a self-contained treatment of polymer crystallization, focusing on the thermodynamics and physical properties that accompany the morphological and structural changes that occur when a collection of molecules of very high molecular weight are transformed from one state to another.

Gelation‐crystallization in isotactic polystyrene solutions and its implications to crystal morphology, to the origin and structure of gels, and to the chemical homogeneity of polyolefins
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that at sufficient concentrations (> 3-5%) gelation sets in below a certain (very high) supercooling in competition with the usual single crystal formation which in itself produces turbid suspensions.
