30. As shown previously, (see ref. 28 and 29) lattice matching does not occur, the orientation of the molecular axes parallel to the a axes of the hexagonal mica structure suggested as being due either to steps on the mica surface or polar effects.

32. 25 that the confined thin film solution polymerization of 2,6-acetoxynaphthoic acid between mica can yield homeotropic, epitaxially oriented, lamellar poly(2,6-oxynaphthoic acid) (PONA) crystals, the ED patterns from an area containing a number of the crystals consisting of three superposed [001] phase I patterns rotated by 60°. Wang et al. have reported similar observations for PpOBA (see ref. 39).
