Notes:
Polydioxolan samples crystallized between 25 and 35°C present two optical phases when viewed on the polarizing microscope. These phases, termed central and external phases, form a spherulite. It is shown in this paper that the central phase of the two-phase spherulite melts at about 63°C, and is made of modification III crystals. The external portion of the two-phase spherulites melts at a lower temperature, around 59°C, and is composed of modification II crystals. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) melting curves, photomicrographs, and x-ray results are presented to prove these assertions.
