Anomalous Suppression of Orientation and Crystallization in Semicrystalline Polymers under Flash Shear Flow

Flow-induced crystallization (FIC) typically governs the performance of semicrystalline polymers through accelerated crystallization and produces shish-kebab-like structures (typically under steady or strong shear flow conditions; shear rate < 102 s−1). However, FIC behavior under realistic and extreme shear flow con...
