Abstract
Both the Matusita equation and the modified Matusita equation for estimating the activation energy associated with non-isothermal crystallization were critically evaluated. The derivation for melts crystallization on cooling indicates that, unlike for the crystallization that occurs on heating, the term 1 − exp (−ΔG/RT) in the basic rate equation of crystal growth and the term \( \int_{0}^{{T_{\text{s}} }} {\exp ( - E/{{R}}T)dT} ) \) depending on the initial temperature of the cooling process cannot be neglected. It is demonstrated that both the Matusita equation and its modified expression are only valid to estimate the activation energy associated with the crystallization that occurs on heating, but are inapplicable for the melt crystallization that occurs on cooling. It is suggested that the isoconversional methods of Friedman and Vyazovkin should be alternative to determine effective activation energy for melt crystallization that occurs on cooling.
