An interphase model emphasising the lamellar architecture and the role of the amorphous phase is proposed to explain possible effects of the transcrystalline layer in composites consisting of semicrystalline polymer and fibres acting heterogeneous nucleants therein. Based on this model biased findings reported on the effects of transcrystallinity can be rationalised.
