Understanding polymer crystallization: a personal resumee — •Gert Strobl — Institut für Physik, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität, 79104 Freiburg

New findings during the last decade have triggered a reconsideration of the foundations of polymer crystallization. The expansion of knowledge is due to the introduction of novel techniques - in-situ atomic force microscopy, high speed calorimetry, combination of standard techniques in simultaneous runs, or the use of new evaluation procedures in scattering experiments - which is demonstrated by a selection of important and clear-cut experimental results. The lecture points at some straightforward conclusions and presents a new thermodynamic scheme developed on the basis of the observations.
