Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance measurements have been made of the development of chain motion in linear polyethylene and polymethylene crystallized from solution. It is shown that segmental mobility is produced at room temperature when the compounds are heated below the melting point. The changes are rapid and irreversible, and are independent of crystallization temperature and concentration, except at high concentration. The effects are ascribed to the development of defects in the crystalline structure.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
