Abstract
Wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to study the crystallographic structure of poly-(2-fluorophe nylene-2-fluoroterephthalamide) fibres. The unit cell parameters were obtained in WAXD measurements, and AFM yielded complementary informati on about the conformation of the fluorine-substituted phenylene rings. Results are compared with predicted crystal structures of poly(p-phen yleneterephthalamide) fibres, which were obtained by computer simulati on experiments.
