Studies of the γ ← α transition in syndiotactic polystyrene
Abstract
In this work we compare calorimetric and X-ray diffraction experiments realized on annealed sPS in helical γ forms resulting by different treatements: From clathrate δ form and from interaction of amorphous sample with acetone. The experimental results show that the γ form obtained by acetone converts into the more ordered final α” form modification; while the γ form, obtained by thermal treatments of δ form, transforms into the poorly ordered final α' form.
