Abstract
The formation of regular nanostructures by photopolymerization of three dio lefin derivative crystals, P2VB, DSP, and p-CPAEt is investigated using ato mic force microscopy (AFM) and known crystal packing data. AFM reveals that the crystal face (100) and (010) of P2VB exhibit volcanoes, whereas (100) and (010) of DSP give floelike structures. The main face and long side face of p-CPAEt give rise to volcanoes. All of those are guided by the crystal structure. Molecular interpretations of the AFM features of P2VB and DSP ar e given.
