Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this article, two β nucleated polypropylene (β-iPP) precursor films were prepared at crystallization temperatures (T) of 110 °C and 135 °C. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results reveal that the two samples, which were composed of bundle-like lamellae, had similar crystallinity and particularly high contents of the β-crystal. However, they behaved differently when stretched at 25 °C and 90 °C. Based on the detailed characterization of morphological evolutions during stretching by 2D-WAXD and SEM measurements, a mechanism of pore formation in stretching β-iPP is presented. We found that the phase transformation of β-smectic and β-α are not the primary origin of pore formation in stretching β-iPP, instead, the micropores are directly initiated from the substantially weak interfaces between β-lamellae. Since the bundle-like β-lamella without fully developed spherulites is an asymmetric three dimensional structure, the lamellae at different angles to the tensile axis would lead to various deformational modes during stretching. Therefore, it is the polydispersity of β-lamellae in β-iPP that causes the poor pore size distribution in stretching β-iPP membrane. © the Partner Organisations 2014.
