Nano- and Micromechanics of Crystalline Polymers

It is currently thought that crystalline polymers consists of lamellar crystals which areseparated from each other by a layer of amorphous polymer and are held together by tiemolecules through the amorphous phase [e.g. 1]. The lamellae are formed from mostly foldedchains. The thickness of lamellae i...
