Summary: | In situ
observation of the growth of isotactic polystyrene has been carried out under a transmission electron microscope. Bundles of lamellar crystals first emerge from the melt, and then a planar crystal parallel to (001) grows out from one end of each bundle. The planar crystal assumes the shape of a hexagon faceted with {110} planes surrounding the bundle at the center. The thickness of the melt surrounding the crystal is smaller than that of the outer area. |
