There are many variables that affect the physical and mechanical                properties of crystalline polymers through the processing and                   fabrication stages of manufacture.  Four of the most important                  are temperature, pressure, molecular weight, and chain                          microstructure.  In this project, the synergistic effects of all                four are being investigated for a series of polymers.  Several                  recent important developments in crystallization theory will be                 investigated for homopolymers and copolymers based principally on               polyethylene, polypropylene, and cis-polyisoprene.  The research                will enable quantitative analysis to be made of crystallization                 theories.  It will help unravel the complicated synergisms of the               variables referred to above.
