Crystalline embryos initiated at early stage of the spinodal decomposition (SD) grew to anisotropically shaped crystallites and then the neighboring crystallites were collided by interpenetration of the lamellae within the continuous bisphenol-A polycarbonate (BPA-PC) rich phase at late stage of the SD. Such characteristic crystallization behavior is attributed to the constraint crystallization growth within the continuous BPA-PC rich region due to interconnected phase structure obtained by the liquid–liquid phase separation via SD.
