✦ Synopsis

How does the polymer chain fold when polymer single crystals are grown? Evidence from AFM images of the surface structure of polydimethylsilane crystals is presented that suggests the adjacent recently model, in which the chains are regularly folded. Making hairpin turns at the surface (see Figure), describes the process better than the random (switchboard) model, in which an amorphous overlayer is produced.magnified image

## Abstract The mode of packing and the adjacent re‐entry folds of chains of syndiotactic 1,2‐poly(1,3‐butadiene) have been studied by molecular mechanics calculations with the use of various sets of potential functions. The results of the packing analysis indicate that the crystal grows preferenti
