Abstract

Polyoxymethylene specimens with single crystal texture were produced by irradiation of needle-shaped trioxane crystals subsequently post-polymerized at fixed temperatures between 30 and 60°C. A clear dependence of polymer conversion on irradiation dose and polymerization temperature was revealed. The polymer morphology consisted of mutually aligned fibrils, half of which were chain-extended crystallites with their molecular axes coincident with the specimen axis. The remaining fibrils consisted of folded chains in a “twin” configuration.
