The nueleation rate B) ean therefore subsequently be obtained from the inter-eept ( °) having evaluated G from the slope. Thus, analysis of erystal size distribution yields both growth and nueleation rates simultaneously, a great advantage experimentally. 

Measurements of overall reaction rates (of product formation or of reactant consumption) do not necessarily provide sufficient information to describe completely and unambiguously the kinetics of the constituent steps of a composite rate process. A nucleation and growth reaction, for example, is composed of the interlinked but distinct and different changes which lead to the initial generation and to the subsequent advance of the reaction interface. Quantitative kinetic analysis of yield—time data does not always lead to a unique reaction model but, in favourable systems, the rate parameters, considered with reference to quantitative microscopic measurements, can be identified with specific nucleation and growth steps. Microscopic examinations provide positive evidence for interpretation of shapes of fractional decomposition (a)—time curves. In reactions of solids, it is often convenient to consider separately the geometry of interface development and the chemical changes which occur within that zone of locally enhanced reactivity. 

We first discuss the materials research which includes monomer synthesis, growth of monomer crystalline structures and polymerization in the solid state, yielding the requisite polymer structures. Next, the nonlinear optical experimental research is discussed which includes a novel experimental technique to measure x (w). Linear and nonlinear optical data obtained for the polydiacetylene films is subsequently presented. Detailed theoretical analysis relating the data to x (< >) and subsequently to its molecular basis will be discussed in a later publication.
