In-situ rheo small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), rheo-light scattering, and rheo-optical methods were employed to investigate the resultant morphology of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) under varying shear flow conditions. Immediatly after shear flow application, a highly orientated structure emerged and row nucleation was identified at high shears. Only the initial stages of shish growth (we term the partial shish) were confirmed at excessively high shear conditions. However, only the kebabs were identified at medium shears, below this neither the shish nor kebab were observed. We believe this partial shish is a result of insufficient stability resulting from using such a low-molecular-weight species. We conclude that from our observations the shish kebab mechanism appears to display similarities to the Janeschitz-Kriegl model of precursor formation.
