Crystal structure and molecular dynamics simulation of tri-o-thymotide clathrates with thiophene as guest molecule
Tri-o-thymotide (TOT) forms a cage-type clathrate with the thiophene guest molecule in a host:guest ratio of 2∶1. This clathrate crystallizes in the trigonal system (space groupP3121). The unit cell, of dimension...

Correlation of microhardness and morphology of poly(ether-ether-ketone) films
We have applied microindentation to a series poly(ether-ether-ketone) films crystallized at different temperatures from the melt and from the glass to measure their microhardness. The morphology of the samples...

Electron Diffraction of Polymer Single Crystals
Single crystals of natural and synthetic polymers may be grown from dilute solutions. These micro single crystals with lateral dimensions of the order of 2 to 10 µm and 50–200 Å thick are suitable for an exami...

New Insights and Unsolved Problems in the Crystalline Structure of Polyesters
In the early distinction by Carrothers (1) between condensation and addition polymers, polyesters were uniformly considered as examples of the former. However it was soon appreciated that a large family of pol...
