A thermodynamical framework for the solidification of molten polymers and its application to fiber extrusion

A thermodynamical framework is presented that describes the solidification of molten polymers to an amorphous as well as to a semicrystalline solid-like state. This framework fits into a general structure developed for materials undergoing a large class of entropy producing processes. The molten pol...
