Popis: Phase transformations in solutions of syndiotactic polystyrene in cis-decalin has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, wide and small angle X-ray scattering, and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy. The in-situ performed experiments enabled identification of the different modifications without solvent removal. Quenching a solution leads to formation of the helical ‰-phase. On heating, this phase transforms into the planar zigzag ‚-phase. The transformation of the helical phase (‰) into the planar zigzag (‚) during heating proceeds via a melting-recrystallization process.
