An X-ray diffraction study of poly(ethylene-2,6-naphthalate), PEN
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 March 2012
Abstract
X-ray diffraction techniques have been applied to study the crystallization of poly(ethylene-2,6-naphthalate), PEN. Uniaxial and biaxial orientation of amorphous cast PEN films resulted in stress-induced crystallization of the triclinic α-PEN polymorph. Annealing of the amorphous PEN samples in the range of 160–240 °C produced thermally induced crystallization of α-PEN. Slow cooling of amorphous PEN from the melt state generated α-PEN as well as the triclinic β-PEN polymorph.
