Tóm tắt

The non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of hot drawn poly(ethylene terephthalate) films were studied using the Kissinger and Ozawa equations. The influence of the initial drawing on the crystallization kinetics was investigated. The values of the apparent activation energy and of the Avrami exponent indicates that the nucleation and growth of crystallites depend greatly on the stress submitted to the samples.
