| This shape is described as monoclinic, meaning the crystals are like crooked cubes. Recently, we described: (1) a binary singularity involving a monoclinic and a rhombohedral lattice in a subcell-supercell relationship and (2) a second type of singularity--a ternary singularity--in which two of the three lattices are in a derivative composite relationship. It is possible that, on adding increased amounts of comonomer, the crystal structure changes from the commonly observed monoclinic (PP) or orthorhombic (PE) to a hexagonal structure. |
