Kinetics of phase transition of a liquid crystalline polymer

  • Published:
Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The kinetics of phase transition from the isotropic state to the nematic mesophase of a main-chain, thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer has been studied by DSC and optical microscopy. Avrami-type analysis of the data gives an exponent close to 1.0 which suggests nucleation followed by rod-like growth.
