M. Muchova et F. Lednicky, INVESTIGATION OF HETEROGENEOUS NUCLEATION USING THE INDUCTION TIME OFCRYSTALLIZATION .1. THEORY OF INDUCTION TIME, Polymer, 37(14), 1996, pp. 3031-3036
The theory of the induction time was developed which is applicable to
experimental studies of the early stages of the heterogeneous crystall
ization of polymers which is applicable to the evaluation of the effec
ts of the surfaces of a dispersed component. The aspects of the epitax
ial and nonepitaxial nucleation on the background of the induction tim
e theory is discussed. The model of the formation of the heterogeneous
nucleus was proposed as a basis for the induction time theory. Copyri
