Abstract

AbstractThe value of tmax in differential scanning calorimetry is correlated with the crystallization kinetics of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET). The Avrami exponent, n, obtained varies as a result of a change in slope of the curve at the point tn, a secondary crystallization transition. The plot of tn vs. tmax shows a linear relationship. The rate of crystallization depends upon both molecular weight and crystallization temperature. Under a nucleation controlling step, the plot of log tmax vs. \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ t_{\max } vs.\frac{1}{{T^2 \Delta T}} $\end{document}gives a linear relationship. Theoretical concepts of the treatment are discussed.
