Chapter 2 Polymer Crystallization – Literature review

From thermodynamic considerations alone, a crystal is in a lower free energy state than the liquid when the temperature is below the melting point (Te ∞) for a large crystal of a very high molecular weight polymer. Figure 2.1 shows schematically the changes in the Gibbs free energy of liquid and a crystal with temperature. The necessary (but not
