Abstract

The kinetics ofthe crystallization process of several polymers, polymer blends and copolymers have been analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry. A modified isoconversional method is applied to evaluate the parameters governing the crystallization of solidification from the assumed isotropic melt. Once the parameters are known, the modeling ofthe polymer crystallization can be performed. The temperature - cooling rate - transformation diagrams were constructed for a wide range of conditions and they showed a good agreement between the experimental data and curves obtained by calculation. This verifies the reliability ofthe method utilized and the validity ofthe rate constant model description. Furthermore, the specific surface energies were calculated from non-isothermal data of PP-PE based copolymers with different additives. The σ values obtained using this approach are similar to those reported by other techniques.
