Figure 8. The noncoherent chain folded surface nucleus model of spherulitic growth and its rate behavior.

Figure 8

(a) Noncoherent surface nucleus of dimensions a, b, and l on strained substrate lamella. Heavy arrow marked G shows direction of radial growth of modified lamellar spherulite.

(b) Logarithm of radial growth rate of spherulite as a function of temperature. ––––log G versus T, if jump rate effect is small; ——most representative cases where jump rate causes maximum to appear in log G;…. exhibits effect of excess nucleation in medium surrounding spherulite.
