✦ Synopsis
The kinetics of the "cold crystallization" of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) pre-orientated yarns are investigated both in isothermal and in non-isothermal dynamic conditions. The amorphous-crystalline, solid-solid transformation is analyzed in terms of the Avrami equation and of Ozawa's theory. The nucleation and growth mechanism is a function of PET amorphous molecular orientation and changes from a three dimensional (n = 4) to a two dimensional and one dimensional disc-like or rod-like growth. The molecular orientation may be defined as the best "nucleating agent" for PET overall rate of crystallization in the low temperature region.
