Abstract

A study of light transmission through a crystallizing polymer has been carried out by graphic simulations, consisting of sporadic and pre-determinate nucleation and growth of disks (spherulites) in a rectangular area. Interaction between a light beam crossing a sample of polymer has been described by a series of simple graphical rules, accounting for both absorption and scattering. Results of the code well reproduce the experimental behavior observed in the literature of main beam light intensity emerging from a crystallizing polymer sample and allows a better understanding of the interaction between light and nucleating/growing units. Emerging light behavior calculated by the simulation has been adopted as the basis to suggest the dependence of the light scattering coefficient upon crystallization kinetic parameters.
