Abstract
In spite of the large amount of work expended in the study of crystallization of polymers , the nature of the surfaces responsible for heterogeneous nucleation and the mechanism as to how foreign surfaces induce nucleation are poorly understood. The present investigation has been directed toward a better understanding of the behavior of surfaces in the nucleation of polymer crystals from the melt.
