Crystalline or, more properly, semi-crystalline polymers continue
to present major challenges and opportunities to scientists and
technologists alike. On the one hand, scientific understanding of
their structure and properties still lags behind that of other
economically important, but less complicated materials. On the
other hand, there remains very considerable potential for improving
properties in systems designed for specific pur poses. Ways are
only just being found of transferring inherent molecular properties
(such as high modulus) to the macromolecular solid. Beyond these
are many possibilities of manipulating the organization of chemical
and physical textures towards desired ends. The chapters in this
volume are reports, by wen-known and active researchers, on some of
the important recent developments ofthese themes. Grubb begins with
the fundamental and central problem of determining polymeric
microstructure. Polymers sutTer by comparison with other materials
in that it has not generany been possible to exploit the high
resolution of the electron microscope to determine their
microstructure in adequate detail. However, recently, ways have
been found of studying representative lamellar textures in
melt-crystallized polymers. When fully exploited these must add
greatly to our detailed knowledge and provide a firmer fundamental
base for future developments. Radiation damage bears the primary
responsibility for restricting electron microscopy. In his chapter,
Kener recounts how appreciation of this fact led him into a
fascinating study of ever deeper aspects of radiation damage in
polyethylene over two decades, often controversiany but invariably
clarifying the basic understanding of an area now of increasing
commercial importance."
