Langmuir‐Blodgett monolayers of isotactic PMMA exhibit a pressure‐induced transition upon compression, that can be described in terms of a two‐dimensional crystallization process, analogous to a normal melt crystallization. These water surface crystallized monolayers can be used to prepare highly crystalline thin films of isotactic PMMA with tailor‐made orientational characteristics.
