Abstract

Novel biodegradable poly(propylene sebacate) (PPSeb) and poly(propylene azelate) (PPAz) polyesters were synthesized and fully characterized using WAXD, standard DSC, high‐rate DSC, and modulated‐temperature DSC. Multiple‐melting behaviour, observed for samples isothermally crystallized from the melt, was attributed to sequential melting–recrystallization–remelting. Study of isothermal and nonisothermal crystallization kinetics revealed a higher crystallization rate for PPSeb compared to PPAz. The Avrami and the Lauritzen‐Hoffman models were successfully applied to DSC measurements, using also data obtained after self‐nucleation, in order to diminish the effect of primary nucleation. Finally, the effective activation energy was estimated using the differential isoconversional method of Friedman.

## Abstract Poly(ethylene azelate) (PEAz) was synthesized and its melting behavior was studied with DSC and Step Scan DSC. The equilibrium melting point of PEAz was found 62 °C and the heat of fusion of 100% crystalline polymer was estimated at 160 J · g^−1^. Polarized light microscopy showed mixed

## Abstract The morphological changes of isotactic poly(propylene) cast films have been investigated during the smectic–α‐monoclinic phase transition and the following melting. The small‐and wide‐angle X‐ray scattering techniques allow to point out the different behaviour of a homopolymer sample an
