Abstract
The spherulite growth, nucleation-related,K g, parameter values obtained from isothermal data (by DSC or optical microscopy) and two other adjustable parameters (the spherulite growth rate preexponential factor and the Avrami's or Tobin's exponent,n) have been used with Nakamura's and Tobin's modified non-isothermal equations to model the kinetics of polymer non-isothermal crystallization. Malkin's model was also tested, for comparison.It is shown that, for polymers that crystallize on cooling almost entirely at temperatures higher than the maximum growth rate temperature, this Tobin's-like non-isothermal model accurately describes the experimental behaviour with only 2 parameters.
