The structural modifications induced in samples of isotactic poly(propylene) obtained by quenching from the melt at 100°C/s and subsequently annealed at 40, 60 and 80°C for different annealing times have been studied using simultaneous wide-angle and small-angle X-ray scattering at the synchrotron radiation source of DESY. The occurrance of two different long-period values is demonstrated. These values are related to the mesomorphic phase, existing in the starting quenched material, and to the α-monoclinic one, which settles during the annealing process, respectively.
