Notes:
Infrared spectroscopic studies have been made of mixed crystals of linear polyethylene and perdeuteropolyethylene. On the basis of normal vibration analyses by Tasumi and Krimm it had been shown that the study of crystal splittings of internal chain modes in such mixed crystals could provide information on the geometry of chain folding. The present results, which include a study of n-paraffin (C36) mixed crystals, confirm these predictions. They show that (110) folding predominates in dilute solution grown crystals, and that this is transformed to (200) folding in melt-crystallized polymer. Folding with adjacent re-entry is favored, a random re-entry model being clearly eliminated.
