Notes:
The effect of additives (mostly nucleating agents) on the crystallization rate of isotactic poly(1-butene) has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. Isothermal crystallization half-times and crystallization temperatures have been measured for polymer-additive blends. The crystallization temperature and the cooling rate at which the ultimate fraction transformed becomes less than 1 is calculated as a function of nucleation density, and this is used to characterize the effect of the additives on crystallization rate. The relationship between the isothermal crystallization half-time and the crystallization temperature is also calculated theoretically and is compared with experimental results.
