Abstract
The orientation of lamellar crystals in non-banded spherulites of it-polystyrene and it-poly(butene-1) was investigated by microbeam X-ray diffraction. The two-dimensional intensity map of diffraction enables us to examine the local orientation of lamellar crystallites in the non-banded spherulites. The obtained results indicated the re-orientation of crystallites in non-banded spherulites and confirmed our previous observation on the anisotropic birefringence of a group of crystal stacks by polarizing optical microscopy.
