Crystalline polymers are polymers with crystalline regions where molecules are arranged in a partial pattern. There are no 100% crystalline polymers because all crystalline polymers contain considerable amounts of amorphous material. Thus, crystalline polymers are generally called semicrystalline polymers.
The areas of crystallinity are called spherulites and can vary in shape and size, with amorphous areas existing between the crystalline areas.
Polypropylene, nylon, and polyketones are some examples of highly crystalline polymers.
Crystallinity can greatly impact a polymer’s physical properties. Highly crystalline polymers ...
