A detailed wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) study was carried out for a series of stereoregular poly(acrylonitrile)s (PANs) having different isotacticities (83-25%). The degree of crystallinity did not depend on the extent of their isotacticity, as confirmed by three WAXD evaluation procedures reported previously. However, the main peak shifted from 17.1 to 16.8 degrees, and the half value width of the main peak decreased (1.70 to 0.97 degrees) with an increase in stereoregularity. Drastic WAXD changes were observed when PAN was dissolved in a good solvent and recovered. The specific tacticity-crystallinity independent relationship of stereoregular PAN powder is discussed in connection with the polymerization mechanism in the urea clathrate at low temperatures.
