Abstract
A poly(p-xylene) (PPX) film was prepared by vapor deposition polymerization (VDP). The resulting film has a well-developed planar texture that is maintained during drawing at 350°C. The resultant film is a mosaic of single crystal with their 100 planes parallel to the plane of the film, and with their chain axes parallel to the draw direction. The three dimensional X-ray wide angle data show that the unit cell of PPX-F is triclinic. The observed and calculated d-spacings are in good agreement, and the unit cell dimensions also reproduce the observed azimuthal angles for the intensity maxima.
