20. A similar picture of crystal defects initiated at the crystal edgtes during annealing was found in early TEM works using moirè lines (Abe, K.; Niinomi, M.; Takayanagi, M. J. Macromol. Sci., Phys. 1970, B4, 87).
21. The particular shape of the holes and cracks appearing at the beginning of the crystal reorganization can be function of surface stresses, as was suggested by J. Rault (J. Macromol. Sci., Phys. 1976, B12, 335).
