Local organisation of polymer chains

This imparts to the polymer a distinct crystal melting transition and in that respect it is similar to low molar mass organic crystals. Not aU the sections of the chain are organised in this way. Some of the chains are disordered and the implications of this will be considered further in Chapters 6 and 9. These partially 

Although in principle it is possible to create an ordered thermoset material, generally the polymerisation of a multifimctional monomer wiU create an amorphous,
