Abstract

Disclosed herein is a novel crystalline form of low molecular weight poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate). This crystalline form may be produced from molten or glassy low molecular weight poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) material by means of rapid heat transfer to or from the material. The poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) composition is suitable for use as a starting material for solid-state polymerization in order to produce polymers of higher molecular weight.
