Experimental results are compared with calculations of scattering from possible models. Evidence is presented which supports the view that the chains in molten PE do not lie parallel but have a conformation in accord with the predictions of energy calculations. However, the evidence indicates that in “molten” PTFE the chains lie parallel over distances well in excess of their diameters. WAXS-based proposals are made for the conformations of a-PMMA and a-PS.
