“…Remarkably, the use of the raw data yields an activation energy estimate of 98 kJ/mol, whereas adjusting the data via an additional calibration [12] and correction for thermal inertia causes the activation energy to increase by 34% to 131 kJ/mol [9]. The importance of the thermal inertia effect in the case of large τ values is discussed in detail elsewhere [13,14].…”

Providing a minimum of theory, this review focuses on practical aspects of analyzing the kinetics of nonisothermal crystallization as measured with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It is noted that kinetic analysis is dominated by approaches based on the Avrami and Arrhenius equations. Crystallization kinetics should not be considered synonymous with the Avrami model, whose nonisothermal applications are subject to very restrictive assumptions. The Arrhenius equation can serve only as a narrow temperature range approximation of the actual bell-shaped temperature dependence of the crystallization rate. Tests of the applicability of both equations are discussed. Most traditional kinetic methods tend to offer very unsophisticated treatments, limited only to either glass or melt crystallization. Differential or flexible integral isoconversional methods are applicable to both glass and melt crystallization because they can accurately approximate the temperature dependence of the crystallization rate with a series of the Arrhenius equations, each of which corresponds to its own narrow temperature interval. The resulting temperature dependence of the isoconversional activation energy can be parameterized in terms of the Turnbull–Fisher or Hoffman–Lauritzen theories, and the parameters obtained can be meaningfully interpreted and used for kinetic simulations.
