The melting behavior of nascent poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) was investigated by way of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It is well known that the melting temperature of nascent PTFE is about 344 ∘ C, but reduces to 327 ∘ C for once molten material. In this study, the melting temperature of nascent PTFE crystals was found to strongly depend on heating rate, decreasing considerably for slow heating rates. In addition, during isothermal experiments in the temperature range of 327 ∘ C < T < 344 ∘ C, delayed melting of PTFE was observed, with complete melting only occurring after up to several hours. The melting kinetics of nascent PTFE were analyzed by means of the isoconversional methodology, and an apparent activation energy of melting, dependent on the conversion, was determined. The compensation effect was utilized in order to derive the pre-exponential factor of the kinetic model. The numerical reconstruction of the kinetic model was compared with literature models and an Avrami-Erofeev model was identified as best fit of the experimental data. The predictions of the kinetic model were in good agreement with the observed time-dependent melting of nascent PTFE during isothermal and constant heating-rate experiments.
