β¦ Synopsis
Abstraet~Conformational energy calculations have been performed on two crystalline polymorphic forms of syndiotactic polypropylene. A chain conformation having the helicoidal s(2/1)2 symmetry has been obtained for the form of the polymer having chain axis c = 7.40 A.. A chain conformation having the tcm symmetry has been obtained for the form having chain axis c = 5.06 A. Results obtained by calculations of the packing energy and of the structure factors for the latter form are compared with the experimental crystal structure recently proposed.

## Abstract **Summary:** Conformational energy calculations on the chain conformation in the crystalline field have been performed for various syndiotactic vinyl polymers deriving from 1,3βdiene monomers. Energy maps as a function of the independent torsion angles have evidenced for all the polymer
Conformational and packing energy calculations have been performed on the ~t modification of syndiotactic polystyrene. The conformational energy has been optimized as a function of the internal parameters of the chain. The packing energy has been calculated considering at first the best packing of c
The isothermal crystallization of syndiotactic polypropylene (sPP) was investigated by in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). It was found that the ordered helical structure developed during the induction period of the isothermally crystalliza
