Abstract
High-pressure crystallized poly (ethylene terephthalate) samples were inves tigated with scanning electron microscopy. A novel stereo-open spherulitic structure was observed which was a three-dimensional structure and only com posed of crystalline region. This morphology may promote the understanding of formation process and mechanism of polymer spherulites. (C) 2000 Elsevie r Science B.V. All rights reserved.
