Crystallization kinetics of LCP with polyesters

The non-isothermal crystallization dynamics were performed using DSC, employing coohng rates of 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40°C/min. The isothermal crystallization dynamics were studied for each sample heated to 290 °C, with a 5 min hold time, and cooled to the isothermal crystallization temperature using a coohng rate of 200°C/min, and tlien holding for 40 min to obtain the crystalhzation exotherm. 

The Ozawa equation of isotliermal ciystallization dynamics applied to non-isothermal crystallization assumes tliat tire ciystallization proceeds under a constant cooling rate, from tire valid matliematical derivation of Evans [47]. In
