Application of modest shear rate to the system will result in a common alignment of these fibrils which can serve as row nuclei for the subsequent crystallisation of the polymer matrix. Thus the combination of small quantities of a low molar mass compound and modest shear flow leads to a semi-crystalline morphology with a well defined anisotropy and morphology.
