Preferred Label : reorganization;
Detailed label : reorganization in polymers;
IUPAC definition : The molecular process by which (i) amorphous or poorly ordered regions of a polymer
specimen become incorporated into crystals, or (ii) a change to a more stable crystal
structure takes place, or (iii) defects within the crystal decrease.;
Scope note : points (i) and (ii) above may also be called crystal perfection.; reorganization may result from annealing.; secondary crystallization may be involved in the reorganization process.;
