Two technical methods were developed for transcrystalline growth in order to create perfect transcrystalline growth for both thermoplastics and liquid crystalline polymers. A principle was suggested for oriented crystallization that the nucleation is created with high density along a one‐dimensional or on a two‐dimensional unit, while the nucleation in the matrix is suppressed. The steric hindrance was a key factor to create the transcrystalline growth in isothermal crystallization. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
