The crystallization of heterogeneously nucleated bulk polymers typically occurs in a single
exothermic process, within a narrow temperature range, ie, a single exothermic peak is …

The methods, models, theoretical developments and techniques for the study of kinetics of
polymer crystallisation are described and discussed. Some of the pertinent fundamental …

The Polymeric Materials Encyclopedia presents state-of-the-art research and development
