- Abstract
- For pt.II see ibid., vol.14, p.1367 (1976). Measurements of the spherulitic growth rates of bisphenol-/b A/ polycarbonate plasticized with pentaerythritol tetranonanoate (PETN), trimetallic acid tri(/b n/-octyl-/b n/-decyl)ester (TMDO), and tritolyl phosphate (TTP) are reported. The incorporation of a plasticizer enlarges the crystallization range, decreases the temperature of maximum growth rate and accelerates the kinetics to a considerable extent. The growth-rate parameters are calculated from a least-squares analysis of the experimental data according to the kinetic theory of Hoffman and Lauritzen (1973). From the growth-rate data given here and the overall crystallization kinetics reported previously, concentrations of seeds inducing the crystallization were determined.
