Polystyrene isotactic/syndiotactic structures, conformational

Whereas most of the early work on crystallization, etc., were concerned with predominantly isotactic chains, the recent developments in synthetic methodologies have enabled the preparation of highly syndiotactic polymers [13,14]. Since the high stereoregularity of these syndiotactic polymers facilitates their crystallization, several papers have been published on the x-ray crystal structure and polymorphism of syndiotactic polystyrene [15-18]. The chain conformation in the crystalline state has also been analyzed using NMR [19]. Similarly, the crystal structure of syndiotactic polypropylene has also been studied by a number of authors [20-22]. [Pg.7]

Finally, a few comments about the uniqueness of polymer crystal structures and phase space localization are warranted. Almost all crystallizable polymers exhibit polymorphism, the ability to form different crystal structures as a result of changes in thermodynamic conditions (e.g., temperature or pressure) or process history (e.g., crystallization conditions) [12]. Two or more polymorphs of a given polymer result when their crystal structures are nearly iso-energetic, such that small changes in thermodynamic conditions or kinetic factors cause one or another, or both, to form. Polymorphism may arise as a result of competitive conformations of the chain, as in the case of syndiotactic polystyrene, or as a result of competitive packing modes of molecules with similar conformations, as in the case of isotactic polypropylene. In some instances, the conformational change may be quite subtle isotactic polybutene, for example, exhibits... [Pg.363]
