v cm-1 do not tilt their heads but still keep the TT conformation.<br />

T, the doublets disappear since chains move and become uncorrelated (isolated).<br />

Since no absorption is observed near 655 and 677 cn-' it means that in the middle<br />

no conformational distorsions are generated in the a phase. The liquid-like structure<br />

is, however, observed at the melting.<br />

Conclusion no. 5<br />

The final model emerging from this part of the study is the following: starting from<br />

a regular and ordered orthorhombic structure in which all tmns-planar chains are
