Guest-induced transitions from α and γ phases of syndiotactic polystyrene (s-PS) toward cocrystalline and nanoporous phases, and related guest-induced orientation phenomena, have been investigated by X-ray diffraction. Guests, being able to induce cocrystal formation in amorphous s-PS samples, are able to induce room-temperature cocrystal formation from γ and α form films, only if their vapor pressure is higher than 20 and 60 Torr, respectively. Guest-induced recrystallizations of unoriented γ form films generally lead to unoriented cocrystalline and δ form films, while chloroform-induced recrystallization leads to cocrystalline and e form films with perpendicular orientation of chain axes. On the other hand, guest-induced recrystallizations of unoriented α form films generally lead to oriented cocrystalline and derived δ form films. In particular, recrystallizations of unoriented α form films by room-temperature sorption of trichloroethylene and CHCl3 lead to films with (002) uniplanar and (210) uniplan...
