Crystallization kinetics of poly(arylene ether ether sulfides): Dual spherulitic morphology
- Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State Univ., Blacksburg, VA (United States)
This study is focused on the crystallization studies on a series of novel poly(arylene ether ether sulfides) developed at VPI. Preliminary growth rate investigations have been carried out on these novel poly(arylene ether ether sulfide) polymers as a function of molecular weight. During the course of these investigations, two distinct populations of spherulites were observed at all temperatures. These spherulites referred to as Type I and Type II spherulites exhibited very different morphologies and distinctly different growth rates. Preliminary investigations show that the different spherulites could be the result of pre shearing the sample prior to crystallization. Detailed morphological results on the dual spherulitic morphology and growth rate studies on the poly(ether ether sulfides) will be reported at the presentation.
