“…Comparison of the top and bottom sets of curves of Fig. 1.55 demonstrates that both the kinetics of nucleation and crystallization can advantageously be analyzed separately by the experimental approach applied here, and the companion studies on PCL, iPB-1, or iPP [38,100,125,127]. For example, formation of crystal nuclei begins after about 10 s on annealing amorphous PA 6 at 333 K, while crystal growth connected with exchange of latent heat is only observed after 1000 s (see upper and lower dashed-dotted curves).…”
