The inadequacy of the fringed micelle concept of the structure of crystalline polymers has led to the suggestion of a fringed fibril structure. Single crystal, spherulitic forms of bulk polymer, and oriented fibres are considered, and a modified fringed fibril structure, which will account for long periodicities, is proposed. The fringed micelle structure is viewed as a limiting case of fringed fibril structure. The evidence for and against the fringed fibril structure is discussed. The paper concludes with a survey of structures of different types of polymer and fibers.
