Subsequent reorganisation leads to thickening or thinning to the nearest integer form.
We undertook detailed SAXD intensity analysis and have reconstructed the electron density profiles of NIF and IF forms of a range of pure long alkanes and of selected mixtures. The results of these revealing studies will be discussed and compared with the semicrystalline structure of polydisperse polymers. Conclusions will also be derived concerning the processes of secondary crystallisation and premelting of polymers. This page last updated 4th August 1998.
