Outline of Final Research Achievements

The polymer crystallization model through the mesophase has been proposed. In order to obtain the direct evidence of the mesophase in the crystallization process, the polymer crystallization processes under the high pressure and under the spatial confinement have been investigated. The results can not show the direct evidence of the mesophase. However we have confirmed the crystallization process through the mesophase under the given environments. Furthermore we have also investigated the crystallization process of the polymer and liquid crystal materials. The results show the validity of the proposed crystallization model.
