The extensive literature on the crystal structures exhibited by sPS is reviewed herein, including, the mechanisms of phenomena such as solvent-induced crystallization, thermally induced crystallization and gelation, and the phase transitions among the various crystalline forms. The latter have been studied by static and dynamic wide-angle and small-angle X-ray scattering, infrared and Raman spectra, and neutron scattering, etc., in addition to computer simulations.
