Equilibrium Melting Temperature Determination of Semicrystalline Polymers through Nonlinear Hoffman-Weeks Extrapolation and Secondary Crystallization of Ethylene/Styrene Copolymers
The applicability of the conventional Hoffman-Weeks (HW) linear extrapolation for the determination of the equilibrium melting temperatures of semicrystalline polymers is critically reviewed. It is shown that the linear extrapolation of observed melting temperatures cannot, in general, provide a rel...
