The lamellar thickness of melt crystallized isotactic polystyrene as determined by atomic force microscopy
The lamellar thickness of melt crystallized isotactic polystyrene as determined by atomic force microscopy
Atomic force microscopy has been used to investigate the morphology of isotactic polystyrene lamellae growth from the melt in very thin films (∼ 50 nm in thickness). It is shown that atomic force microscopy can elucidate the crystal morphology and provide quantitative measurements of the step height (between successive crystal layers of a spiral overgrowth terrace) corresponding to the long spacing, provided suitable procedures are employed.

Abstract
Atomic force microscopy has been used to investigate the morphology of isotactic polystyrene lamellae growth from the melt in very thin films (∼ 50 nm in thickness). It is shown that atomic force microscopy can elucidate the crystal morphology and provide quantitative measurements of the step height (between successive crystal layers of a spiral overgrowth terrace) corresponding to the long spacing, provided suitable procedures are employed.
