Abstract
In this study, isothermal crystallisation kinetic data of poly(propylene terephthalate) (PPT) are obtained using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized light microscopy (PLM). Data from each method are analyzed according to the secondary nucleation theory of Lauritzen–Hoffmann and the procedures and results are critically presented. The assumption that the growth rates obtained from PLM can be equally well described from crystallisation rate data using the half-crystallisation time, is tested.
