We report the observation of a labyrinthine crystal pattern with a periodic structure in the crystal width direction in ultrathin films of poly(ethylene oxide) fractions with molecular weight ranging from 25,000 to 932,000 g/mol. The polymer thin films are crystallized at temperatures well below the bulk melting temperature, thus the system is characterized by limited diffusion of the polymer chains and rapid growth of the crystal fronts. The competition of these two competing factors leads to the formation of the labyrinthine pattern. This mechanism is supported by a scaling relation between the long period and molecular weight, View the MathML source, indicating the importance of chain diffusion. Furthermore, a linear relationship between View the MathML source and View the MathML source is observed, implying that the crystal growth is dominated by a secondary nucleation.
