The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The mechanical properties of unidirectional all-polypropylene composites (2006, background): “It is possible to use this overheating by constraining process to create an ‘artificial’ difference in melting temperature between two structures of the same grade polymer, by constraining one but not the other [32].”
Single-polymer composites (SPCs): Status and future trends (2014, background): “It was early recognized that highly oriented, crystalline polymer fibers, tapes show a higher melting temperature when heated in constrained (under tension or compression) than unconstrained form [36,38].”
On transcrystallinity in semi-crystalline polymer composites (2005, methodology): “[13] studied details of the lamellar arrangement in the TC layer and of the PP fiber–PP matrix interface by using high-magnification low-voltage scanning electron microscope (LVSEM).”
