Abstract

Crystallization of polymeric materials is a solidification process in strong interaction with heat conduction. Both the basic mechanisms involved in the solidification from a melt, namely the nucleation and growth of crystals, are strongly influenced by the temperature and its variation. Vice versa, the latent heat is rather large for polymeric materials, so that it causes a considerable change in the heat transfer process.
