Abstract
The isothermal crystallization behavior of thin films of isotactic pol y(propylene) between plates coated with chromium, Teflon (R) or gold i s studied by polarized light microscopy. At all contact surfaces betwe en poly(propylene) and the other materials, transcrystallinity can be observed and competes with the growth of entities which originate in t he bulk phase. The shape of these entities can be described by two int ersecting paraboloids.
