CRYSTALLIZATION OF CHAIN MOLECULES

H. H. Wills Physics Lab., University of Bristol


Abstract
A very brief survey on the crystallization of macromolecules is presented. It includes the essential features of lamellar crystals which contain the chains in a folded configuration which is recognized as the basic mode of crystallization of unstressed macromolecules and the formation of fibrous crystals which arise when the chains have been previously oriented by stress of flow. Some specific issues of current topicality are outlined.
