Abstract
Epitaxial growth of the perfectly alternating ethylene-carbon monoxide copolymer (POK) has been successfully achieved using hydroquinone, fi rst as a solvent in its liquid state, and then as a substrate in its c rystallized form. Mono-oriented POK domains grow directly in the alpha crystal form. The polymer chain axis lies parallel to the substrate s urface and each domain is composed of a stack of lamellae standing edg ewise; the contact plane with the substrate is the crystallographicall y dense (100) plane.
