摘要

Abstract

The crystallization and melting behavior of polymers is of theoretical importance. In this work

poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) was selected as an example to study such behavior at low supercooling

via

introduction of the extended-chain crystal (ECC) of the same polymer as nucleating agent. The crystallization of PBS with its ECC as nucleating agent in a wide temperature range (90–127 °C) and the following melting behavior were studied. It is revealed that the melting point (

for

≥113 °C) and the annealing peak temperature (

for

=90–100 °C) show similar asymptotic behavior. Both

and

approach to a value of

. 3.3 °C higher than the corresponding

when the crystallization time

approaches the starting point. That is to say

the Hoffman-Weeks plot is parallel to

line. The crystallization line became parallel to the melting line when PBS was crystallized at

higher than 102 °C. Based on these results

we propose that the parallel relationship and the intrinsic similarity between the

and the

observed at the two ends of the

range could be attributed to the metastable crystals formed at the beginning of crystallization.
