title = "Role of chain entanglement network on formation of flow-induced crystallization precursor structure",
abstract = "In this article, the role of chain entanglement on the formation of flowinduced crystallization precursor structure in polymer melts was discussed. In particular, recent experimental findings from in-situ rheo-X-ray studies and ex-situ microscopic examinations were described: (1) the shish arise from the stretched chain segments in the entanglement network of the high molecular weight species; (2) the kebabs arise from the crystallization of coiled chain segments following diffusioncontrol growth; (3) multiple shish was seen in the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) precursor; (4) the shish-kebab reformation is directly related to the relaxation behavior of stretched chain segments confined in a topologically deformed entanglement network. Based on the above results and recent simulation work from other laboratories, a modified molecular mechanism for the shish-kebab formation in entangled melt is presented.",
