Summary
The present paper deals with the isothermal and non-isothermal crystallization of pure polyamide 6 (PA 6) and PA 6/glass fibre composite with a high fibre content of 81 % by weight. The so-called Avrami exponent n of pure PA 6 seems to be nearly independent of crystallization temperature fluctuating around 3.0 whereas for the composite this quantity increases strongly with crystallization temperature from 1.2 to about 6.
