Why is it important?
The publication discusses many items regarding molecular structure in relation to crystallization of polymers. It discusses possibilities to gain deep insight into behavior and properties of such systems. Molecular structure and crystallization are seen as two faces of 'Janus': Face 1 and Face 2 respectively. They represent the possibility of realizing a Janus by symbiosis or as a counterproductive result by influencing the metastability of the system through manipulation of the driving force of crystallization (as done by FSC) within the limits given by the molecular structure. Besides, especially working at high cooling and heating rates up to 10+6 K/min is unique, by enabling the mimicking of realistic processing conditions, influencing the properties and favoring the development of new ideas
