Gibbs-Thompson condition

The question addressed here is whether the components crystallize separately or together. DSC is probably the most popular method. In this case the melting-point distribution w TjJ is measured and is transformed into a crystal thickness distribution w L ) using the Thompson-Gibbs equation. Let us select a sample with a broad, continuous molar mass distribution. The sample is crystallized under isothermal conditions for different periods of time. Each isothermal treatment is followed by a rapid cooling of the sample to a temperature at which crystallization is no longer active. The melting endotherm is recorded after each cycle of isothermal...
