TL;DR: The rate of spherulite growth, measured by means of polarisation microscope, depends on the chemical structure of the polycarbonate as mentioned in this paper, which is a relatively high tendency to crystallize.
Abstract: Polycarbonate auf der Basis 4,4′-Dioxy-diphenyl-2,2-propan, 4,4′-Dioxy-diphenylmethan und 4,4′-Dioxy-diphenyl-sulfid kristallisieren mit athermischer Keimbildung aus der Schmelze spharolithisch. Es wurden verschiedene morphologische Strukturen beobachtet. Die lichtmikroskopische Bestimmung der Spharolith-Wachstumsgeschwindigkeit last eine unterschiedliche Kristallisationsneigung der betrachteten aromatischen Polycarbonate erkennen. Danach zeigt das Polycarbonat auf Basis 4,4′-Dioxy-diphenyl-2,2-propan ein stark gehemmtes und verzogertes Kristallisationsverhalten, wahrend die Polycarbonate auf Basis 4,4′-Dioxy-diphenyl-methan und 4,4′-Dioxy-diphenylsulfid als relative kristallisationsfreudig zu bezeichnen sind. Als Ursache fur das unterschiedliche Kristallisationsverhalten wird der verschiedenartige molekular Aufbau diskutiert. Polycarbonates from 4,4′-Dioxy-diphenyl-2,2-propan, 4,4′-Dioxy-diphenylmethan, and 4,4′-Dioxy-diphenyl-sulfid crystallize from the melt with spherulitic structure and athermal nucleation. Depending on crystallization conditions different morphological textures were observed. The rate of spherulite growth, measured by means of polarisation microscope, depends on the chemical structure of the polycarbonate. The crystallization of polycarbonates from 4,4′-Dioxy-diphenyl-2,2-propan is hindered by the spacefilling isopropyl-group. On the other hand, polycarbonates from 4,4′-Dioxy-diphenyl-methan and 4,4′-Dioxy-diphenyl-sulfid have a relatively high tendency to crystallisation.

TL;DR: In this article, the over-all crystallization of poly4,4′-dihydroxydiphenyl-2,2-propane-carbonate was observed by dilatometric measurements of the alteration of the specific volume during very long crystallization times at crystallization temperatures of 170° to 205°C.
Abstract: Die Gesamtkristallisation des Poly-4,4′-dihydroxidiphenyl-2,2-propan-carbonat wurde durch dilatometrische Messungen der Anderung des spezifischen Volumens wahrend sehrlanger Kristallisationszeiten bei Kristallisationstemperaturen von 170 bis 205°C verfolgt. Eine wesentliche Kristallisation tritt erst bei Kristallisationstemperaturen oberhalb von 175°C ein. Der gefundene maximale Kristallisationsgrad betrug 33%. Dieser wurde nach isothermer Kristallisation bei einer Kristallisationstemperatur von 205°C unter Berucksichtigung partieller Schmelzvorgange erreicht. Die sehr langen Kristallisationszeiten bestatigen die fruher diskutierte Kristallisationstragheit dieser Stoffklasse. Durch Auswertung der dilatometrischen Messungen nach der Theorie von AVRAMI wurden die Geschwindigkeitskonstanten k0 und der Zeitexponent n in dem genannten Temperaturbereich bestimmt. Aus der lichtoptisch beobachteten athermischen Keimbildung und dem ermittelten Zeitexponenten n = 3 folgt, das das Wachstum der Spharolithe dreidimensional kugelformig verlauft. Die Messungen werden mit Ergebnissen anderer Untersuchungsmethoden verglichen. The over-all crystallization of poly-4,4′-dihydroxydiphenyl-2,2-propane-carbonate was observed by dilatometric measurements of the alteration of the specific volume during very long crystallization times at crystallization temperatures of 170° to 205°C. Appreciable crystallization does not take place before crystallization temperatures above 175°C. have been reached. The maximum degree of crystailization found was 33%, which was reached after isothermal crystallization at a crystallization temperature of 205°C. taking due regard to partial processes of usion. The very long times of crystallization confirm the crystallization inertness of this class of substances as discussed earlier. Evaluating the dilatometric measurements according to AVRAMI's theory, the velocity constants k0 and the time exponent n were determined in the mentioned range of temperatures. It follows from the predetermined nucleation observed light-optically and from the time exponent n = 3 asdetermined that the growth of the spherulites takes place spherically in three dimensions. The measurements are compared with the results of other methods of investigation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the growth rates of spherulites were measured in poly(p-phenylene sulphide) crystallized from the melt and the quenched glass over the temperature range 100°C-280°C, possibly the most extensive overall range yet reported for any polymer and, as such, most propitious for study of regime III crystallization.

TL;DR: In this paper, a chemical reaction occurs during the mixing process between the salt and the ester links of the macromolecules, which produces ionic end-groups which are responsible for the acceleration of the crystallization rate.

TL;DR: In this article, the Charpy notched impact strength of polydiancarbonate polycarbonate was measured and it was shown that the polymer can exist in one of two modifications A and B. The A form can be converted to B form by annealing process which proceeds rapidly above 80°C.
Abstract: Measurements of the Charpy notched impact strength of polydiancarbonate indicate that the polymer can exist in one of two modifications A and B. There is a temperature (below room temperature) above which the A form is unusually tough; the B modification is comparatively brittle at all temperatures. The A form can be converted to the B form by an annealing process which proceeds rapidly above 80°C. We have not been able to determine the precise morphological difference between the A and B forms but most of the data can be explained by making a hypothesis about the yield behaviour of the A form.
