Notes:
The calculation of the scattering from a sheaflike sector of a two-dimensional spherulite has been carried out as a function of the apex angle of the sector. It is found that while for a complete spherulite the Hv scattered intensity is zero at zero scattering angle, there is an increasing intensity of scattering at 0° as the sector angle narrows. For very small values of the sector angle, the scattering becomes similar to that of a rod, with the exception that a scattering maximum is still seen at an angle close to that at which the spherulite scattering maximum occurs. The predictions of the model compare favorably with the scattering patterns observed for polymers in early stages of spherulitic growth.
