Analysis of formation mechanism of crystal form I in isotactic polybutene-1 based on a melting memory method

Journal of polymer research
In this paper, the melting memory effect generated by a novel cyclic thermal treatment protocol with form II as “seeds” on the polymorphic transformation in isotactic polybutylene-1(iPB-1) was investigated.

Robust and Reversible Thermofluorescence in Solvent‐Free Thermoplastic Polyurethane Composites

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 29, 9 April 2026.
Thermofluorescent polymer composites with high‐contrast optical outputs are prepared by solvent‐free blending of indenoquinacridone dye into a thermoplastic polyurethane matrix. The temperature‐dependent fluorescence originates from aggregation–dissociation of the dye molecules, regulated by competing hydrogen bonds from the polymer matrix.
