Abstract This paper discusses the effect of varying cooling rates during crystallization on the spherulitic structure of poly(butalene terephthalate). Light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry were used to examine specimens. The mechanical properties of the polymers studied were examined by a variety of methods.
