Crystallisation in polymer films: control of morphology and kinetics of an organic dye in a polysilicone matrix
1997
The successful selection, design and synthesis of additives for the
control of nucleation and crystallisation of a red anthraquinone based dye
is described. This procedure is based on the crystal structure and
morphology of solution grown crystals and in this study the possibility of
using the same approach to control crystallisation within an amorphous
polymeric matrix is explored. The work has been motivated by the desire to
prepare stable dye sheets for thermal transfer printing applications, yet
the parallel with natural biomineralisation processes is clear.
