Abstract

The structural modifications induced in samples of isotactic poly(propylene) obtained by quenching from the melt at 100°C/s and subsequently annealed at 40, 60 and 80°C for different annealing times have been studied using simultaneous wide‐angle and small‐angle X‐ray scattering at the synchrotron radiation source of DESY. The occurrance of two different long‐period values is demonstrated. These values are related to the mesomorphic phase, existing in the starting quenched material, and to the α‐monoclinic one, which settles during the annealing process, respectively.
