Abstract
The crystallization process of poly(1-butene) and its blends with hydrogena ted oligocyclopentadiene was analyzed in dependence on composition. Both is othermal and nonisothermal crystallization processes were studied, and the isothermal crystallization process was investigated starting from both the glass and the melt states. Results revealed that spherulite growth rate, ov erall crystallization rate, and morphology are strongly dependent on crysta llization conditions and blend composition. Nonisothermal crystallization d ata were analyzed according to the theories of Ozawa and Ziabicki. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
