Abstract
This paper presents a discussion of flow-induced crystallization emphasizing studies of fiber growth in tubular flow and the highly related rheological phenomenon of shear-thickening. Studies of seeded growth have demonstrated that crystallization proceeds within a concentrated, liquid precursor phase which forms as a first step in the process. The growth kinetics are monitored in-situ using video recording and digital image processing to convert polarized light images to kinetic isotherms. Viscosity studies have been concerned with shear-thickening in fiber forming systems and its analysis in terms of kinetic network models to describe the effects of the chain entanglement process.
