Notes:
The formation of a polymer/polymer composite by solid-state polymerization of trioxane (TOX) crystals grown within binary trioxane/polycaprolactone or trioxane/poly(oxythylene) mixtures is reported. At present, such composites have been formed with trioxane-rich (hypoeutectic) mixtures. It is observed that in this composition range, much higher yields are obtained through thermal orientation of the TOX crystals which result in very highly ordered systems as revealed by optical and electron microscopy. These POM-rich composites were not, however, amenable to mechanical testing.
