TY - JOUR AU - Booth, A. AB - The possibility that the presence of several processes occurring during the crystallisation of polymers may account for anomalous constant fractional values of the Avrami exponent is reconsidered, and for various reasons rejected. Experimental isotherms exhibit systematic variations when analysed as two stage processes, which can only be accounted for by fractional n values of no theoretical significance. An explanation for these deviations must be sought in the mechanism of spherulitic crystallisation, and in particular the mechanism of branching and impurity rejection of the basic fibrillar units.
