Symmetry as the Organizing Principle for Crystal Structures

The examples of polymer crystal structures shown in the previous sections are ideal structures, which can be described with the traditional concepts of the principles of equivalence and close packing or the new concepts of symmetry breaking146 and frustration.154 The models of perfect crystals are characterized by a long-range positional order for all the atoms (disregarding thermal motion). The X-ray diffraction patterns of such crystals, oriented with the chain axes along one direction (as in oriented fibers), present sharp reflections organized in layer lines. [Pg.121]
