The Effect of Grafting Density on the Crystallization Behaviors of Polymer Chains Grafted onto One-Dimensional Nanorod

Figure 8

Snapshots of small crystallites appearing at the beginning of crystallization (a) and crystalline morphologies at 300000 MC cycles (b) for grafted polymer systems with 64(A), 84(B), 128(C), and 252(D) polymer chains. Yellow cylinders denote the crystalline stems, and red parts denote the nanotubes.
