E. Dargent et al., NONISOTHERMAL CRYSTALLIZATION KINETICS OF HOT DRAWN POLYESTER FILMS -KISSINGER AND OZAWA ANALYSIS, Journal of thermal analysis, 46(2), 1996, pp. 377-385
The non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of hot drawn poly(ethylene
terephthalate) films were studied using the Kissinger and Ozawa equat
ions. The influence of the initial drawing on the crystallization kine
tics was investigated. The values of the apparent activation energy an
d of the Avrami exponent indicates that the nucleation and growth of c
rystallites depend greatly on the stress submitted to the samples.
