Abstract

Highly ordered helical syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) crystal mats have been grown from dilute ethylbenzene solution. The morphology of the as-grown mats consists of ribbonlike structures, with the sPS chains oriented perpendicular to the mat surface. The as-grown crystals are complexed structures with an estimated ratio of one ethylbenzene molecule for approximately six sPS chemical repeat units. Upon annealing at 106 o C for 5 h, the solvent is driven from the crystal lattice. Upon annealing at 106°C for 5h, the solvent is driven from the crystal lattice, inducing an irreversible disruption of the ribbonlike morphology
