Isothermal crystallization of the copolymer Poly(Vinyl Alcohol-co-Ethylene) was studied, with an ethylene content of 27%. Using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), the copolymer was crystallized between 160 and 180 degrees C. The crystallization kinetics were analyzed using the Avrami and Hoffman-Weeks methods. The overall morphology and crystal growth were determined from fitting parameters.
