25. Recent experiments on copolymers based on polypropylene indicated that the Huffman-Weeks method may not be exact: Strobl, G. Personal communication. In fact, the validity of this approach has been questioned even for homopolymers: Schmidtke, J.; Strobl, G.; Thurn-Albrecht, T. Macromolecules 1997, 30, 5804. However, no alternative procedure to extract the equilibrium melting point has been provided.
