Effect of chain structure on the thermodynamics and kinetics of polymer crystallization
The purpose of this work is to critically examine the Lauritzen-Hoffman (LH) secondary nucleation barrier model of polymer crystallization. One of the major criticisms of the LH theory was that it predicted divergence of the lamellar thickness and crystal growth rate at finite undercoolings - the so...
