Mixed-crystal infra-red spectroscopy

  • Chapter
Characterization of Solid Polymers

Abstract

A wide range of polymers, obtained by crystallization from either the melt or the solution state, are now known to form lamellar crystals. After the initial identification of single crystals in polyethylene crystallized from dilute solution (e.g. reference 1), it was recognized that to accommodate a particular molecule within the crystal required that the molecule should fold back on itself and re-enter the crystal. Since then, the nature of the ‘fold surface’ has continually been a subject of research, conjecture and debate. Controversy has been prolonged by the lack of experimental techniques capable of providing direct information. At the same time, the central importance of this feature, with its relevance to crystallization mechanisms, to crystal morphology and to physical properties has never been doubted. This chapter is concerned with a technique developed over recent years to provide detailed information on chain conformation in the case of polyethylene.
