How Do Orientation Fluctuations Evolve to Crystals?

  • Chapter
Progress in Understanding of Polymer Crystallization

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Physics ((LNP,volume 714))

Abstract

Light and synchrotron X-ray scattering are used to probe structure formation during isothermal crystallization of an ethylene-1-hexene copolymer (EH064, M w = 70,000 g/mol, ρ = 0.900 g/cm3, M w /M n ~ 2, 6.4 mole percent hexene) andan ethylene-1-butene copolymer (EB059, M w = 70,000 g/mol, ρ = 0.905 g/cm3, M w /M n ~ 2, 5.9 mole percent butene).
