Figure 1

Chemical structure of the two oxalamides, diethyl 5, 6,15,16-tetraoxo-4,7,14,17-tetraazaicosanedioate (1) and diethyl 4,5,10,11-tetraoxo-3,6,9,12-tetraazatetradecanedioate (2). The molecular design concept of the nucleating agent in compound 1 and 2 is represented by color scheme. Green represents the end groups that help to solubilize the NA in the polymer matrix, grey represents oxalmide groups which promotes the self-assembling process of the compounds in the polymer melt and red, represents the linker molecules (aliphatic spacers) which governs the melting of NA.
