Fig. 5: In situ wide-angle X-ray scattering during heating of the pentablock quintopolymer.

In situ synchrotron WAXS results a patterns recorded during subsequent heating at 20 °C min⁻¹ at different temperatures. Arrows indicate the presence of the scattering peaks (cc for cold crystallization and m for melting) for each block (violet for PE, green for PLLA, pink for PGA, blue for PCL, and red for PEO) and their corresponding (hkl) reflections. b Normalized WAXS intensity measurements as a function of temperature from WAXS data represented in Fig. 5a for overlapped reflections (indicated in the box at the right-top part): b PLLA_113/203 (13.4 nm⁻¹) and PEO₁₂₀ (13.6 nm⁻¹); and PEO₀₃₂ (16.4 nm⁻¹), PE₂₀₀ (16.4 nm⁻¹) and PCL₂₀₀ (16.9 nm⁻¹) and c (indicated in the box at the center-top part) PGA₀₂₀ (20.0 nm⁻¹) and PLLA₂₁₀ (15.6 nm⁻¹). The open symbols in b represent the molten state (zero intensity).
