Abstract

The kinetics of crystallization of high molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide) fractions from dilute solution in ethanol have been investigated by means of dilatometry. At low extents of crystallinity the crystallization isotherms are well represented by the free growth Avrami expression with exponent n = 4. Crystallization rates increase with increasing molecular weight in the manner predicted from the established thermodynamic properties of polymers in dilute solution.
