Three‐Dimensional Imaging of Semicrystalline Polypropylene with 10 nm Resolution
Source abstract
Abstract
The 3D microstructure of elastomeric polypropylene has been imaged in real-space using nanotomography (see Figure). The method is improved by image-registration techniques which allow high-resolution volume images of large areas to be obtained. These images reveal the complex spatial arrangement of individual crystallites with 10 nm resolution, and promise better understanding of the structure–property relationship in this class of materials.
