The Nature of The Chemical Bond, 3rd ed.; Cornell University Press: Ithaca, NY, 1960 while for a perfect, minimum energy BPDA-PDA structure the corresponding spacings are predicted to be near 3.5 Å [refs 7 and 8]. At these distances no covalent bonding can exist between the stacking planes.

24. On the basis of this conclusion, we caution that any study of the magnitude of the buffing response must take account of the intial state of the polymer. Note added in proof: In a recent paper, Stöhr and coworkers reported the observation of out-of-plane ring orientation induced by rubbing of the disordered JSR-1 polyimide. The authors speculate that this type of surface orientation provides the template for LC ordering. [Stöhr, J.; Samant, M. G.; Cossy-Favre, A.; Diaz, J.; Momoi, Y.; Odahara, S.; Nagata, T.
