Homopolymers, crystallization kinetic nucleation theory

The isothermal crystallization of PEO in a PEO-PMMA diblock was monitored by observation of the increase in radius of spherulites or the enthalpy of fusion as a function of time by Richardson etal. (1995). Comparative experiments were also made on blends of the two homopolymers. The block copolymer was observed to have a lower melting point and lower spherulitic growth rate compared to the blend with the same composition. The growth rates extracted from optical microscopy were interpreted in terms of the kinetic nucleation theory of Hoffman and co-workers (Hoffman and Miller 1989 Lauritzen and Hoffman 1960) (Section 5.3.3). The fold surface free energy obtained using this model (ere 2.5-3 kJ mol"1) was close to that obtained for PEO/PPO copolymers by Booth and co-workers (Ashman and Booth 1975 Ashman et al. 1975) using the Flory-Vrij theory. [Pg.310]

Although the kinetic nucleation theory of Hoffman and co-workers was developed for homopolymers, it has been applied to the crystallization of block copoly-... [Pg.316]

Approaches used for crystallization in homopolymers may be used to calculate the change in melting temperature due to finite crystal thickness (Thompson-Gibbs equation), lamellar crystal surface energies (Flory-Vrij theory), and growth rates (kinetic nucleation theory). Details can be obtained from [1]. [Pg.19]
