abstract |
Synchrotron x-ray two-dimensional diffraction was used to study the evolution of C-60 polymerization in samples quenched from high pressure-high temperature. As for three-dimensional polymers, Debye-Scherrer ellipses are observed at low-pressure conditions, they are disrupted as polymerization progresses indicating an alignment of the growing polymer that finishes in fully textured samples. The anisotropic stress signature on C-60 polymers gives a direct visualization of the permanent imprinting of a mechanical applied field. The anisotropic stress component is an essential factor for C-60 directed polymerization. |
