The transition from melt to glass is called glass transition ( )

Tg: glass transition temperature ( )

Tm: Melting point

Tc<Tm: crystallization temperature

The transition from melt to solid(crystal) is called solidification(crystallization)

6.2.2 Basic Morphology of Polymer Crystals

Crystal Habits:a: lamellar ( )b: platyc: tabulard: isometrice: prismaticf: acicularg: needle-likeh: fibrous ( )

“Single crystals” have one lattice

Macromolecular crystals are often lamellar or fibrous.

“Polycrystalline samples” are aggregates of many single crystals

(1) Lamellae ( )Crystallized from Dilute Solution

Polyethylene ( )

Tc ~ 70 CTc ~ 80 C

Orientations of polymer chains in lamellae

PE chains must be folded back andforth within the lamella!

Note: the lamellar thickness is ~10 nm,

PE chains are perpendicular to the lamellarsurface.

the chain length is > 1000 nm.

6.4 Liquid Crystalline Polymers

“Liquid crystals stand between the isotropic liquid phase and thestrongly organized solid state. Life stands between completedisorder, which is death, and complete rigidity, which is deathagain.”

Dervichian D. G. Mol. Cryst. Liq. Cryst. 1977, 40, 19.

States of matter:Solids, liquids, and gases“Liquid crystals” (LCs) represent a number of different states ofmatter in which the degree of molecular order lies intermediatebetween the perfect long-range positional and orientational orderfound in crystalline solid and the statistical long-range disorderfound in an isotropic liquid. Phenomenologically, LCs exhibit bothsolid-like anisotropic features and liquid-like fluidity. On the basisof these characteristics, the term “mesomorphic phases” or“mesophases”, may be a more appropriate name than liquidcrystals.
