摘要:
A thermodynamic model for the description of spherulitic growth in (semi‐) crystalline polymers is presented. Its validity is restricted to the free growth stage of crystallization. The relevance of the role played by surface tension in the early stage of the process is pointed out. With the due approximations the predicted growth rate is found to be consistent with the well‐known Avrami model. As an application, the melting temperaturesTmof poly(ethylene oxide) samples of different molecular weights are derived by fitting the appropriate crystallization thermograms carried out in isothermal conditions. A linear dependence ofT−1mas a function of the inverse polimerization degree is found, which is consistent with a well‐known result of the lattice theory. ©1995 American Institute of Physics.
