Influence of side‐chain isomerization on the isothermal crystallization kinetics of poly(3‐alkylthiophenes)
Flexible alkyl side chain in conjugate polymers (CPs) improves the solubility and promotes solution processability, in addition, it affects interchain packing and charge mobilities. Despite the well‐known char...

A new equilibrium form of zircon crystal
The surface tensions of the 100, 110, 101 and 211 faces are calculated by using Machenzie’s method. A new equilibrium form of zircon crystal is then derived on the basis of Wulfs Law. This theoretic form consi...
