29. 0.125 nm for the axial advance of each polymer backbone bond minus 0.01 nm for each of the shorter amide groups.
30. 2 criteria for the γ-phase are as follows: (1) unit cell close to hexagonal; (2) c-repeat reduced by ≅0.04 nm per amide unit from that normally found for a wholly planar nylon conformation. This corresponds to a 4% reduction in the nylon 69 all-trans c-repeat.
31. To achieve this, the torsional angles (≅130°) about the C-C bonds adjacent to the CO groups were given the same sign. The torsional angles (≅130°) about the C-N bonds adjacent to the NH groups were given the opposite sign.
32. If the alkane segments were aligned in the ac-plane, the monoclinic angle would change from β to α for optimum hydrogen bonding. In this case, the unit cell would have the following parameters: a = 0.754 nm, b = 0.551 nm, c (chain axis) = 4.04 nm, and α = 108°.
