Poly(p-dioxanone) (PPDO) is crystallized with amorphous poly(p-vinyl phenol) (PVPh) and tannic acid (TA) as co-diluents to regulate and induce dendritic-ringed PPDO spherulites, with spoke- or sector-bands, aiming for convenience of analyses on interior lamellar assembly. Morphologies and interior lamellar arrangement leading to the peculiar rings on individual dendrites are evaluated by using polarized-light microscopy (PLM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Combinatory microbeam small-/wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) analyses further confirm the unique assembly patterns in periodic cycles. Alternate gratings are packed with periodic ridges composed of feather-like branches and the valley is featured with some embossed textures. The periodic gratings in the ringed spokes resemble those in nature's structured coloration and are proven to display light-interference iridescence.
聚对二氧环己酮（PPDO）与无定形聚对乙烯基苯酚（PVPh）和单宁酸（TA）作为共稀释剂结晶，以调节和诱导具有辐条或扇形带的树枝状环状PPDO球晶，目的是便于分析内部片晶组装。通过偏光显微镜（PLM）和扫描电子显微镜（SEM）评估导致单个树枝状晶体上出现特殊环的形态和内部片晶排列。组合微束小角/广角X射线散射（SAXS/WAXS）分析进一步证实了周期性循环中的独特组装模式。交替光栅由羽毛状分支组成的周期性脊填充，山谷具有一些压纹纹理。环状辐条中的周期性光栅类似于自然界中的结构色，并且被证明会显示光干涉虹彩。
