Abstract
AbstractPolymer crystallization is recognized as a non‐equilibrium process and the postulate of local equilibrium is combined with the formalism of small systems thermodynamics to provide a general method of relating structure, kinetics and thermodynamics. In this method a single polymer molecule is assumed to be in equilibrium with its environment and the appropriate partition function is factored into the bulk free energy and the remaining factors which are important only in small systems.
