Cluster melting physical mechanisms

In the present section notions of the amorphons state structure of a cluster model of polymers [7, 8] were used for the description of a change in nucleation mechanism and melting temperature of an oriented PCP. These notions are developed in the dynamic polymer network concept, since supramolecnlar (more precisely, snprasegmental) structure changes, described by a cluster model, are a logical result of changes on the molecular level, which are due to network tension (see Table 4.1). The cluster model application allows the physical effects predicted within the frameworks of general thermodynamic theory to be concretised and identified and also to be described quantitatively.
