Provides the only comprehensive reference on polymer crystallization.

Some thermoplastic polymers crystallize and some do not. Here chemists, materials scientists, and related engineers provide a broad reference on those that do. Among their topics are experimental techniques, the structure of polycrystalline aggregates, polymer nucleation, the computer modeling of polymer crystallization, overall crystallization kinetics, melting, crystallization in copolymers, crystallization in nano-confined polymeric systems, flow-induced crystallization, and crystallization in processing condition.
