Abstract
The polymorphic behavior of poly(vinylcyclohexane) is discussed on the basis of conformational energy calculations on an isolated chain. The presence of two different modifications is in accordance with the ene rgy minima present in the conformational energy maps. The packing of t he chains in form I is analyzed on the basis of packing energy and str ucture factor calculations.
