Morphological changes during the premelting of linear polyethylene were investigated by small-angle X-ray scattering using correlation-function analysis. The thickness of the amorphous regions, <da>, showed a reversible change with temperature, which indicates presence of a local equilibrium state. During heating, the average thickness of lamellae <dc> decreases first for temperatures below the initial crystallization temperature (Tc). The simultaneous decrease in <dc> and increase in <da> provide evidence for a surface melting of the lamellae. AboveTcan irreversible thickness growth of the crystalline lamellae (increase of <dc>) is observed. It does not affect the thickness of the amorphous regions, which remains unchanged.
