Lovell, R., Mitchell, G.R. and Windle, A.H. (1979) Wide-angle X-ray scattering study of structural parameters in non-crystalline polymers. Faraday Discussions of the Chemical Society, 68. pp. 46-57. ISSN 0301-7249 doi: 10.1039/DC9796800046
Abstract/Summary
The paper presents an analysis of WAXS (wide-angle X-ray scattering) data which aids an understanding of the structure of non-crystalline polymers. Experimental results are compared with calculations of scattering from possible models. Evidence is presented which supports the view that the chains in molten PE do not lie parallel but have a conformation in accord with the predictions of energy calculations. However, the evidence indicates that in “molten” PTFE the chains lie parallel over distances well in excess of their diameters. WAXS-based proposals are made for the conformations of a-PMMA and a-PS.
