The available isothermal nucleation growth-rate equation has been modified for non-isothermal kinetic analysis. The values of the nucleation constant (Ks)and surface free energies (o, oe)have been obtained for i-polybutene-1, i-polypropylene, poly(L-lactic acid), and polyoxymethylene and are compared with those obtained from isothermal kinetic analysis; a good agreement in both is seen UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Lev1rZblUGf3LK6WVE1Erz5KY20HGv3D/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
