“Correlating the properties and structure of semicrystalline polymers: Case of regenerated cellulose fibers.”

Structure property relations in semicrystalline fibers is a daunting problem due to the complex microstructure ordered over multiple length scales. I will talk about developing simple tools and methodologies for capturing the differences in the structure of regenerated cellulose fibers manufactured using Lyocell and Viscose processes. The relevant microstructural features are related to the mechanical properties of fibers and are responsible for their counterintuitive viscoelastic response.
