Free standing thin films of poly(ether ether ketone) crystallized in s
itu by heating from the glassy state have been shown to be suitable fo
r high resolution transmission electron microscopy lattice imaging. Fi
lms mounted on coarse-mesh copper grids could also be observed in the
deformed state, allowing lattice imaging of regions of strain induced
crystallization at temperatures in the neighbourhood of the glass tran
sition temperature.
