The non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of double-crystallizable poly(ethylene glycol)–poly(l-lactide) diblock copolymer (PEG-PLLA) and poly(ethylene glycol) homopolymer (PEG) were studied using the fast cooling rate provided by a Fast-Scan Chip-Calorimeter (FSC). The experimental data were analyzed by the Ozawa method and the Kissinger equation. Additionally, the total crystallization rate was represented by crystallization half time t1/2. The Ozawa method is a perfect success because secondary crystallization is inhibited by using fast cooling rate. The first crystallized PLLA block provides nucleation sites for the crystallization of PEG block and thus promotes the crystallization of the PEG block, which can be regarded as heterogeneous nucleation to a certain extent, while the method of the PEG block and PLLA block crystallized together corresponds to a one-dimensional growth, which reflects that there is a certain separation between the crystallization regions of the PLLA block and PEG block. Although crystallization of the PLLA block provides heterogeneous nucleation conditions for PEG block to a certain extent, it does not shorten the time of the whole crystallization process because of the complexity of the whole crystallization process including nucleation and growth.

The non-isothermal crystallization process of PBT with high melt flow index has been investigated by DSC, and the nonisothermal crystallization process of PBT with high melt flow index was studied by Ozawa equation and Jeziorny equation respectively. It was found that Ozawa equation, rather than Jeziorny equation, could appropriately be applied to study the non-isothermal crystallization process of PBT with high melt flow index. The Avrami index, obtained by Ozawa equation, varied between 1.06-1.80 with the change in temperature.

The Avrami equation was used in the study of the isothermal crystallization kinetics of Polyvinyl pyrrolidone/Polyamide 6 Blends. The addition of PVP can hinder the PA6 crystallization process, increase the crystallization half-time and make the crystallization rate decrease. The molecular entanglements and intermolecular hydrogen bonds between PA6 and PVP chains exert some influence also.

AbstractNon-isothermal crystallization kinetics of polypropylene/date palm fiber (PP/DPF) composite materials were investigated in this study, using the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method. Different fiber contents and cooling rates, varying from 2.5°C/min to 20°C/min, were considered. The obtained results indicated that the initial crystallization temperature increases with the increase of the DPF content. This was attributed to the nucleating ability of these fibers. Several theoretical models were used to predict the non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of the materials considered in this study. Basically, it was shown that both the Avrami analysis, modified by Jeziorny, and the method developed by Mo could adequately describe such kinetics. The activation energies required during the overall crystallization process and at different amounts of the relative degree of crystallinity were also evaluated using the Kissinger method and the isoconversional analysis of calorimetric data, respectively. It was shown that the presence of the DPFs in the PP matrix decreases these energies, confirming their nucleating ability during the non-isothermal crystallization process.

PTT/EVA-g-MA (80/20 w/w) nanocomposites were prepared by the melt mixing with different organoclay (OMMT) loading. The effect of OMMT on the non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of composites was investigated by DSC. The Avrami and Ozawa methods were used to describe the non-isothermal crystallization process of pure PTT and composites with various loading of OMMT. The Avrami analysis results show that the crystallization rate of 80/20 (w/w) PTT/EVA-g-MA blends with the OMMT is faster than that of pure PTT. The Ozawa analysis can describe the non-isothermal crystallization of pure PTT very well, but it was rather inapplicable for the 80/20 (w/w) PTT/EVA-g-MA blends with various amounts of the clay.

In this work, the crystallization kinetics of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) matrix included with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) grafted silica (PEG-g-SiO2) nanoparticles and bare SiO2 were systematically investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized light optical microscopy (PLOM) method. PEG-g-SiO2 can significantly increase the crystallinity and crystallization temperature of PEO matrix under the non-isothermal crystallization process. Pronounced effects of PEG-g-SiO2 on the crystalline morphology and crystallization rate of PEO were further characterized by employing spherulitic morphological observation and isothermal crystallization kinetics analysis. In contrast to the bare SiO2, PEG-g-SiO2 can be well dispersed in PEO matrix at low P/N (P: Molecular weight of matrix chains, N: Molecular weight of grafted chains), which is a key factor to enhance the primary nucleation rate. In particular, we found that the addition of PEG-g-SiO2 slows the spherulitic growth fronts compared to the neat PEO. It is speculated that the interfacial structure of the grafted PEG plays a key role in the formation of nuclei sites, thus ultimately determines the crystallization behavior of PEO PNCs and enhances the overall crystallization rate of the PEO nanocomposites.
