The cooling rate dependence of the crystallinity of polymers is investigated via the example of different technical polypropylenes using fast scanning calorimetry (FSC) in a cooling rate range between 1 and 5000Ks(-1). In the slower cooling rate range (below 100Ks(-1)) the crystallinity increases slightly with decreasing cooling rate. Above cooling at 100Ks(-1) the crystallinity decreases substantially and vanishes at the critical cooling rate. We describe this behavior using a simplified model with two components: the generic crystallinity function and the retardation function. For a mathematical description, we use empirically fitted functions that describe the cooling rate dependence of the crystallinity and the critical cooling rate. (c) 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.
