MOLECULAR CONFORMATION IN UNORIENTED CRYSTALLINE POLYMERS

Abstract

A molecular model for completely unoriented polymer chains which can be formed on a square lattice is presented. Using the mathematical methods of the Markoff formalism, expressions for the dimensions of the molecular chain, values for the per cent crystallinity and sequence length in amorphous and crystalline regions are derived in terms of two probability parameters. The problem of excluded volume is not considered. (Author)
