Abstract
Nanotubular structures have been the focus of great attention since the discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in 1991. A number of nanotubular solids, including carbon, gallium nitride, have been successfully produced. Polymer single crystals can form different complex morphologies. The common form of polymer single crystals are thin lamellae and polymer chains are folded in single crystals and they are more or less perpendicular to the lamellar basal surfaces. Polymer lamellar crystals possess diverse morphologies: solution grown polyethylene single crystals have three dimensional hollow pyramid shapes. Twisted single crystals have been observed from both Bombyx Mori silk and chiral polyesters. A number of polymers have also been found to exhibit scroll-like morphology. These include form III poly butene-1 solution grown single crystals and the constituent lamellae in spherulites of gamma-polymorphic form of polyvinylidene floride (PVF2).
