The second phase dispersed in the polymer matrix can be carbon nanotubes, semi-conducting inorganic nanoparticles or layer silicates such as clay. Crystallisation in these materials is also of great interest. Polymers exhibit structures at various scales (e.g. lamella, unit cell and spherulites) and the presence of a second phase has a profound effect on crystallisation. General trends observed include acceleration/retardation of crystallisation, changes in spherulite morphology and, in a few cases, changes in the crystal structure. All these observations relate to the presence of a micrometre scale second phase. However, when the dimensions of the second phase are close to the chain dimensions, the effects on crystallisation become particularly interesting. An attempt is made in the present review to address the effect of a nanoscale second phase on aspects such as isothermal and non-isothermal crystallisation, spherulite growth, phase transformation and polymorphism.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.008</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goyal, R.

The content of SiO2 was varied between 0 and 50 wt. %. Scanning electron microscopy showed uniform dispersion of SiO2 particles in the matrix. Thermogravimetry analysis showed significant increase in thermal stability and char yield with increase in SiO2 content in the matrix. Differential scanning calorimetry showed that SiO2 had a heterogeneous nucleating effect on PEEK, leading to an increase in peak temperature of crystallization and onset crystallization temperature of the composites compared to a pure matrix. The microhardness increased approximately 42%. A modified rule of mixtures with a strengthening efficiency factor equal to 0.06 fit the data nicely. The results show that the prepared PEEK/SiO2 composites may have potential applications in electronics.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign
