Abstract

Abstract Free standing thin films of poly(ether ether ketone) crystallized in situ by heating from the glassy state have been shown to be suitable for high resolution transmission electron microscopy lattice imaging. Films mounted on coarse‐mesh copper grids could also be observed in the deformed state, allowing lattice imaging of regions of strain induced crystallization at temperatures in the neighbourhood of the glass transition temperature.
