The macroscopic properties of semicrystalline polymeric materials are remarkably dependent on their microstructure and morphology
This offers an effective way to tailor the properties of such materials through crystal engineering
To obtain a particular crystal structure of a polymorphic polymer, proper choice of heterogeneous nucleation agent is frequently used, and highly oriented crystalline materials can be produced through crystallization under shear field
It should be pointed out that even though special crystallization pathways have been developed to control the individual structure of a semicrystalline polymer in a specific aspect, synchronous control of multiscale structures with several aspects still remains a challenge
