The effects of cooling rate from the melt, and DSC heating rate on the multiple melting behaviors of β crystals were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC), from which the nature.of the multiple melting behavior was ascribed to the occurring of a recrystallization process.展开更多

On the basis of the differential scanning calorimetric results, it was observed that γ form melt-recrystallization occurred at a higher temperature with the increasing lamellar thickness, which resulted from the pre-annealing at the elevating temperature after acetone induced crystallization. Further temperature dependent small-angle X-ray scattering（SAXS） measurement revealed the evolution of the γ form lamellae upon heating until phase transition, involving three different regimes： lamellae stable region（25-90 °C）, melt-recrystallization region（90-185 °C） and pre-phase transition region（185-195 °C）. As a result, recrystallization line, equilibrium recrystallization line and melting line were developed for the s PS γ form crystallization process. Since the melt of γ form involved a γ-to-α/β form phase transition, the melting line was also denoted as the phase transition line in this special case. Therefore, the equilibrium crystallization temperature and melting（phase transition） temperatures were determined at around 390 and 220 °C on the basis of the thermodynamic phase diagram of the s PS γ form.展开更多
