34. Nonisothermal crystallization behavior of a novel poly(aryl ether ketone): PEDEKmK. Liu TX, Mo ZS, Zhang HF. JOURNAL OF APPLIED POLYMER SCIENCE 67 (5): 815-821 JAN 31 1998.
Nonisothermal melt crystallization kinetics of PEDEKmK linked by meta-phenyl and biphenyl was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). A convenient and reasonable kinetic approach was used to describe the nonisothermal melt crystallization behavior, and its applicability was verified when the modified Avrami analysis by the Jeziorny and Ozawa equation were applied to the crystallization process. The crystallization activation energy was estimated to be -219 kJ/mol by Kissinger method while crystallizing from the PEDEKmK melt nonisothermally. These observed crystallization characteristics were compared to those of the other members of poly(aryl ether ketone) family.
