Notes:
The morphology and growth of the disordered hexagonal phase which crystallizes in films of cis-polyisoprene at pressures in excess of 3 kbar is discussed. A two-stage growth process is proposed consisting of nucleation and crystallization followed by a pressure-enhanced thickening process. The phase is metastable and is replaced by normal spherulitic growth at long times. It transforms into lamellar sheafs with higher than usual lamellar thicknesses when pressure is lowered at constant temperature.
