We adopt a cluster size distribution model to investigate the kinetics of nonisothermal polymer crystallization. The time dependencies of polymer concentration, number and size of crystals, and crystallinity (in Avrami plots) are presented for different cooling rates. The incubation period is also investigated at different cooling rates and initial temperatures. The relationship between cooling rates and incubation time is presented graphically and compared with experimental measurements. The initial temperature (relative to melting point) has a significant effect on nonisothermal crystallization. A comparison of moment and numerical solutions of the population balance equations shows the influence of Ostwald ripening. Agreement between modeling results and experimental measurements at different cooling rates supports the application of the distribution kinetics model for nonisothermal crystallization.
