Abstract The deformation of polydiacetylene single crystals has been investigated by scanning electron microscopy. Three types of deformation twins have been identified. The twinning planes are (0 1 2), (¯2 1 2), and (2 1 2), types not previously reported in polymer crystals. Deformation features in polydiacetylene single crystals observed by other workers are interpreted in terms of these three twins. The possibility of similar types of twins occurring in other polymer crystals is discussed. The twins in the polydiacetylene single crystals and those found in other non-polymeric materials are compared.
