A study of the crystallization kinetics of isotactic polystyrene

The spherulitic growth rate data for a molecular weight series of isotactic polystyrene are analyzed in context of the Lauritzen-Hoffman kinetic theory of polymer crystallization. The primary objectives of the study are to critically test the Lauritzen-Hoffinan theory under conditions not rigorously...
