Abstract

The isothermal crystallization behaviors of poly(bisphenol A-co-decane ether) (BA-C10) at different temperatures were studied in situ by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic (FT-IR) measurements. Conformational changes during the induction period were investigated in details. The results suggest that conformational changes of polymer chains always take place before the start of changes in the characteristic FT-IR peaks of the crystalline phase.
