The melting behavior of poly(butylene terephthalate) crystallized isothermally for various times was examined using differential scanning calorimetry. After short crystallization times, the DSC analysis gave two melting peaks, but after longer times, the analysis gave three peaks. The latter triplet

Abstract
The melting behaviour of meltโcrystallized nylon 10,12 was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wideโangle Xโray diffraction (WAXD). The results show that all nylon 10,12 crystals obtained under various conditions, including isothermal, nonโisothermal and stepwise crystallization, and also after partial melting or annealing, show multiple melting behaviour. It was found that each melting endotherm has a different origin. The highest melting peak corresponds to melting of the recrystallized material while the other melting endotherms are related to melting of lamellae with different thicknesses developing under different crystallization conditions. The equilibrium melting point of nylon 10,12 was also firstly estimated to be about 206โยฐC.

## Abstract Nylon 10 12, a newly industrialized engineering plastic, shows a doubleโmelting phenomenon during melting. Partial melts were obtained when the sample was heated to the temperature between the two melting peaks. A differential scanning calorimeter was used to monitor the energies of the
