Abstract

The nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) in PVDF/tributyl citrate (TBC) blends having undergone thermally induced phase separation were investigated through differential scanning calorimetry measurements. Ozawa theory, Mo's method and Kissinger model were used to analyze the kinetics of the nonisothermal crystallization process. The Ozawa theory failed to describe the crystallization behavior of PVDF in the PVDF/TBC blends, whereas the Mo model was able to describe the nonisothermal crystallization process fairly well. The crystallization activation energy was determined by the Kissinger method, and was in the range of 90–165 kJ/mol.
