Abstract

A survey is presented of the structural aspect of polymer crystals. It deals primarily with crystals grown from solutions but includes some features of crystallization from the melt. Special emphasis is placed on those aspects which are specific to polymers. It is attempted to place the subject in its historical perspective as well as to lead up to the most recent developments which are taking place at the time of writing.

  • The nascent structure of polyethylene consists of spherulites composed of unoriented stacked lamella in which folded chains are bridged by intra- and inter-lamella tie molecules.

    “The nascent structure consists of spherulites27 which are in turn composed of unoriented stacked lamella in which folded chains are bridged by intra- and inter-lamella tie molecules28.”

    From Origin of high thermal conductivity in disentangled ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene films: ballistic phonons within enlarged crystals (2022) · cites this paper as [28]

    Section 11.1 (Morphology; page unavailable) describes polyethylene’s crystalline units as lamellar, and section 11.6 (Fractionation; page unavailable) discusses chains that fold within a layer or traverse between lamellae. The paper also reports interlamellar links, but these passages do not establish intralamellar tie molecules or characterize the stacked lamellae as unoriented. The separate citation attached to “spherulites” is not being judged here. (LLM, conf=0.85)

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.
