The nucleation behavior of a poly(ethy1ene oxide) melt is measured as the material crystallizes under defined conditions of shear and temperature. Polarized light microscopy is used as the measuring technique. A strong dependence of nucleation rate on supercooling and imposed stress was found. This

## Abstract The crystallization kinetics of a range of fractions of poly(ethylene oxide) are presented and analyzed. It is concluded that deviations from the Avrami equation with exponent of 3 are mainly due to rejection of low molecular weight molecules for the low molecular weight fractions (__MΜ
The crystallization rates of fractions of poly(ethylene oxide) have been studied microseopically and dilatometrically. Nucleation theory has been adapted to take account of the finite molecular weight and the molecular weight distribution of the fractions. It is found that the free energy of formati
Crystallinity, crystal structure and lamellar thickness in melt-crystallized samples of poly(propylene-statethylene) fractions with 2.7-11.0 mol% ethylene comonomer and of approximately constant tacticity were assessed by wide-and small-angle X-ray scattering, differential scanning calorimetry and i
