Abstract

Non-isothermal kinetics of the process of nucleation and its growth are derived by extending Avrami's equation. Kinetic analysis of the thermoanalytical data of the process is also described and applied to DSC curves of crystallization obtained by cooling poly(ethylene terephthalate) at constant rates. Crystallization is thought to proceed by nuclei being formed randomly and growing in three-dimensions.
