Extended Data Fig. 3: Thermal and solid-state properties of polymers.

a, Comparison of the WAXS diffractograms of PC-18, PE-18,18, PC-48 and HDPE. Diffraction peaks correspond to the orthorhombic unit cell of polyethylene in all cases and all materials exhibit an HDPE-like crystallinity of about 80%. b, Comparison of the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) traces of PC-18, PE-18,18, PC-48 and HDPE (top, heating curve; bottom, cooling curve). c, Thermogravimetric analysis traces of PC-18 and PE-18,18 in comparison to that of HDPE.
