Fig. 4: In situ wide-angle X-ray scattering of the pentablock quintopolymer during cooling.

In situ synchrotron WAXS results a patterns taken during cooling from the melt at 20 °C min⁻¹ at different temperatures with arrows indicating the presence of the scattering peaks (c for crystallization) for each block (violet for PE, green for PLLA, pink for PGA, blue for PCL and red for PEO) and their corresponding (hkl) planes. b Normalized WAXS intensity measurements as a function of temperature from WAXS data represented in Fig. 4a for reflections (indicated in the box at the right-top part): PLLA_113/203 (13.4 nm⁻¹) and PEO₁₂₀ (13.6 nm⁻¹); PEO₀₃₂ (16.4 nm⁻¹), PE₂₀₀ (16.4 nm⁻¹) and PCL₂₀₀ (16.9 nm⁻¹); and PGA₀₂₀ (20.0 nm⁻¹) and PEO₁₃₁ (20.3 nm⁻¹). The open symbols in b represent the molten state, where the intensity is zero.
