Preferred Label : lamellar crystal;
IUPAC definition : A type of crystal with a large extension in two dimensions and a uniform thickness.
A lamellar crystal is usually of a thickness in the 5-50 nm range, and it may be found
individually or in aggregates. The parallel chain stems intersect the lamellar plane
at an angle between 45 and 90 . The lamellae often have pyramidal shape owing to
differences in the fold domains; as a result, one can deduce different fold planes
and fold surfaces from the lamellar morphology.;
