Abstract
The crystallization behavior of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was studied by the methods of small angle light scattering, depolarized light intensity and density measurements. Spherulite growth rates and the overall rates of crystallization were determined at various temperatures. A detailed analysis of the crystallization course has been made with special emphasis on the early stages of crystallization. The results indicate that a significant amount of crystallization takes place in the extraspherulitie material during isothermal crystallization.Keywords
