Epitaxial crystallization of polymers onto benzoic acid: Polyethylene and paraffins, aliphatic polyesters, and polyamides
Abstract
Epitaxial crystallization of polyethylene, n‐paraffins, aliphatic polyesters, and various polyamides has been achieved on benzoic acid crystal substrates, specifically on their (001) crystals faces, which are made up of the aromatic rings. The epitaxial relationship is very similar for all polymers investigated: it is characterized by a unique chain orientation (parallel to the b axis of the substrate) and a plane of contact which is either the b‐c, plane of polyethylene, or crystallographically similar ones for polyesters, or the plane of the hydrogen‐bonded sheet for polyamides. Since benzoic acid is structurally similar to its alkali‐metal salts, it is inferred that the nucleating efficiency of the latter toward chemically different but structurally similar polymers may well rest on an epitaxial relationship. Finally, the highly oriented morphology made it possible, for some polyesters with a monoclinic cell, to determine the angle between the chain axis and the Z axis of the optical indicatrix, a quantity not measured so far in polymers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
