Summary The elastic properties of Poly-4-methylpentene-1 around the melt transition have been studied by Brillouin spectroscopy. A discontinuous change of the sound velocity is observed in the melting region of 10 K indicating a rather discontinuous melting and formation of spherulites with sharp boundaries. Another result is that practically the final elastic properties of the spherulites appear already during their formation.
