Abstract

A general theoretical approach of the overall crystallization kinetics of thin polymer films is developed. This new model makes it possible to calculate the evolution of the transformed volume fraction anywhere in the film, whatever the cooling conditions are. In its isothermal limit this model is equivalent to previous approaches which have been well verified by a computer simulation. In conclusion, it is pointed out that both isothermal and anisothermal determinations of crystallization kinetic parameters are greatly dependent on the sample thickness.
