Abstract
The crystallization of flexible-chain polymers is a fascinating branch of polymer physics. The central paradigm that is a part of all descriptions and theories of polymer crystallization is chain folding, discovered by Keller (1957) (see Chapters 7). Polymer crystallization theories have arisen largely from theories developed earlier for small-molecule crystallization. The principle of chain folding has been implemented in these theories. Some of the growth theories for polymer crystallization, e.g. that proposed by Lauritzen and Hoffman (1960), have been in use for over 30years. Important phenomena such as crystal thickening and molecular fractionation are essentially untreated by currently existing growth theories.
