Nucleation effects of α-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes on the crystallization behavior of biodegradable poly(1,4-butylene adipate)†
Abstract
This study examined the polymorphic crystallization behavior of poly(1,4-butylene adipate) (PBA) with the addition of nucleation agents such as the α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) inclusion complex (IC) of PBA (PBAIC) and the IC of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCLIC). The formation of PBAIC and PCLIC was characterized by
