Structure Development in Melt-Spinning Syndiotactic Polystyrene and Comparison to Atactic Polystyrene.

Presents a study conducted by researchers from University of Akron, Akron, Ohio addressing structure development in melt-spinning syndiotactic polystyrene (s-PS) and comparison to atactic polystyrene (a-PS). Effects of melting s-Ps and a-PS into filaments; Analysis on the birefringence and Hermans orientation factors of s-PS and a-PS filaments; Correlation of Young modulus and tensile strength.
