Morphology and kinetics of growth of supermolecular structures in molten polyoxymethylene and mixtures with other substances

Abstract

Abstract The results of an investigation of the morphological changes and kinetics of supermolecular structure growth in a thin film of supercooled melt of polyoxymethylene diacetate under the influence of small amounts of organic low molecular, oligomeric, and polymeric compounds and their mixtures have been summarized. A relationship has been found between morphology and kinetics of the supermolecular structure growth and their dependence on the crystallization temperature, chemical structure, and admixture concentration. A possible model of the formation and growth of the supermolecular structures and the influence of the admixtures is presented.
