Abstract
A new general method was derived for calculating elastic moduli of isolated polymer-chains and of polymer-chains in crystals. Equations for elastic moduli were written with the B submatrices as used in normal coordinate treatments. The new method was applied for calculating the elastic moduli of (poly)oxymethylene chains in trigonal and orthorhombic crystals.
