Abstract

The classical theories for overall crystallization kinetics are first reviewed, then discussed and extended. To model the crystallization phenomena during polymer processing, we have chosen an extension of Ozawa’s theory which allows an easy determination of the kinetic parameters from anisothermal DSC experiments. The kinetic law is then coupled with the energy equation. Two applications are presented: cast-film extrusion and injection molding.
