Isothermal Formation of Spherulitic Boundaries with Equidistant Time Marks in a Foil of Polypropylene
In a foil of polypropylene two circularly growing spherulites which touch each other and finally form a common grain boundary are regarded. Another grain boundary is formed by one circularly growing spherulite which makes contact with a growing band and with the growing interior of a circular ring. All possible grain boundary formations are systemized. This is done theoretically using analytical planar curves geometry, and is done in most cases, experimentally with equidistant time marks.
