The effect of freezing layer on the crystallization kinetics of poly(ε-caprolactone)(PCL)thin and ultrathin films was investigated by monitor the growth process of it on oriented polyethylene(PE)and CaF_(2)with and without freezing layer,*** was found that the PCL films with similar thicknesses crystallize much faster on oriented PE than on CaF_(2)*** example,the crystallization rate constant of a 102 nm thick PCL film decreases tremendously by 3 orders of magnitude from 1.1×10^(-1) on PE substrate at 50℃to 7×10^(-4)on CaF_(2)surface at 40℃.Moreover,the crystallization of PCL accelerates on CaF_(2)surface while slows down at PE surface with increasing film *** ultrathin films of PCL with thickness less than 14 nm exhibits the fastest crystallization rate on oriented PE with a rate constant of about 3.5×10^(-1),which is 3 times higher than that of a ca.50 nm thick *** illustrates the great influence of freezing layer on the crystallization process of *** freezing layer thickness of PCL on PE is estimated to be in the range of 14-17 *** the radius of gyration(R_(g)~15.6 nm)of the used PCL material into account,the obtained results may imply the existence of a correlation between the R_(g)of PCL and its freezing layer thickness at PE substrate.

On 14 February 1928, American chemist Dr. Wallace Hume Carothers wrote a letter to Dr. John R. Johnson at Cornell University, in which he articulated, for the first time, his deep insights into polymerization and polymeric molecules [1]. These pioneering ideas directly led to the invention and commercialization of nylon by Du Pont in the 1930s, marking the dawn of the chemical fiber era. Over nearly 100 years of development,chemical fibers have evolved from a singular category into a diverse range of materials utilized in fields spanning clothing and home textiles to aerospace and electronic devices [2].
