Organization of Twisting Lamellar Crystals in Birefringent Banded Polymer Spherulites: A Mini-Review

In this mini-review, we summarize the evidences of lamellar twisting in the birefringent banded polymer spherulites demonstrated by various characterization techniques, such as polarized optical microscopy, real-time atomic force microscopy, micro-focus wide angle X-ray diffraction, etc. The real-ti...
