A new crystal modification was found in poly(ethylene oxide) stretched about two‐fold after necking at room temperature. An x‐ray diffraction analysis indicated that the planar zigzag molecule passes through a triclinic unit cell with parameters α = 4.71 Å, b = 4.44 Å, c (fiber axis) = 7.12 Å, α = 62.8°, β = 93.2°, and γ = 111.4°. The space group is P1−Ci1. Packing of the molecule is very similar to that of monoclinic polyethylene.
