β¦ Synopsis
Recent advances and status of x-ray structure analysis of crystalline polymers are described using examples of u-modification of poly(ethy1ene oxybenzoate) , poly(ethy1ene oxide), isotactic poly(methy1 methacrylate), and cellulose I. Next the relationship between crystal structures and crystaiiite mocdi (one-and threedimensional) is discussed.
Finally vibrational free energies of twc crystal modifications of poiyethylene are derived and discussed.
X-IIAY AKALYSIS OF CRYSTALLINE PCLYMERS
X-ray diffraction data of polymers are less abundant than in the case of single crystals of low-molecular-wetght substances. Therefore the essectial process of x-ray analysis of polgners is still now the repetition of trial-and-error method [e.g., 11. It is necessary to assume first the crystal structure model, calculate the diffraction intensities for the aocel, compare them with the observed values, end refine the r.odel so as to cbtain good agreerenis. Therefore

Copolymers of the nematogenic monomer, p-(E-acryloyloxycaproyloxy)-p'-methoxyphenylbenzoate, with various cholesterol-containing monomers were synthesized. The copolymers were shown to form mesophases of the cholesteric type. The dependence of the selective reflection of light on copolymer compositi
The structure and properties of the as-spun fibers of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) blends with a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (LCP), Vectra A900, were studied in detail. The DSC results indicate that the LCP component may act as a nucleating agent promoting the crystallization of th
Reaction of Ag(BF 4 ) with [n-Bu 4 N][TCNQ] in CH 3 CN yields a new phase of Ag(TCNQ) referred to as phase I (1). A second polymorph of Ag(TCNQ), denoted phase II (2), which had earlier been prepared by electrocrystallization methods, can be accessed directly from silver powder and neutral TCNQ. Th
