Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj2b31d42r" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />Crystals induce order but disorder and entropy drive crystallization. Crystallization of poly(3-methyl-1-pentene) is driven by different entropic effects related to chirality and different types of disorder. </p> </abstract>
