Le. Cohen et Am. Rocco, Study of the crystallization kinetics - Poly(ethylene oxide) and a blend of poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(bisphenol A-co-epichlorohydrin), J THERM ANA, 59(3), 2000, pp. 625-632
A kinetic study of the crystallization of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and of
a blend of PEO+poly(bisphenol A-co-epichlorohydrin) (PBE) was performed by
using DSC in a non-isothermal program at constant cooling rates. The curve
s obtained were analyzed by the Kissinger, Ozawa and Friedman methods, with
determination of the kinetic parameters in each case. As a consequence of
the presence of PBE, the kinetic parameters were altered, leading to the co
nclusion that PBE has some influence on the crystallization of PEO, modifyi
ng its mechanism.
