Abstract

In this study, a novel strategy to prepare a crystallized sample of terpolymer containing high content of ${\gamma}-form$ was experimentally sought. By the foaming process, it was possible for the first time to produce a commercial high molar-mass terpolymer being in a high content of ${\Box}-form$. The large amount of nuclei produced during the foaming process by FIC is ascribed to be the reason. It accounts for the structural disorder in the crystallite formation because of excess amount of chains length for the formation of a stable crystallite.
