A new method for the evalution of neutron scattering data from semicrystalline polymers is proposed for small and intermiediate q [q = (4π/λ)sinθ/2]. It is based on the assumption that, in general, a molecule cryustallizes in various lamellae. Within one lamella the crystalline stems connected by loop or folds from intramolecular “clusters,” which are connected by tie molecules. Without further assumptions the method yields in a straightforward manner the following quantities: (i) the average number of clusters per molecule, from which the number of tie molecules can be estimated; (ii) the radius of gyration of the centers of the stems belonging to one cluster; and (iii) the radius of gyration of the cluster centers with respect to the center of the molecule the method was successfully tested using experimental data obtained from poly(ethylene oxide), polyethylene, and isotactic polypropylene.
