Abstract: Melting is a familiar process not expected to show surprises: the melting of ice in a cocktail is expected to produce cooling not heating. Yet just such an effect — inverse melting — has been seen during a study of phase transitions in a polymeric system. As a result the crystalline phase appears to be more disordered than the glassy phase.
