16. Tashiro, K.; et al. Macromolecules 2014, 47, 2052-2061. The stress-induced α−β transition was found to occur not only with the remarkable changes in the molecular chain conformation and chain packing mode in the crystal lattice, but also with the large and reversible change in the lamellar stacking structure.
