Abstract

The change of the α relaxation process occurring during isothermal crystallization of a glassy polymer, poly(aryl ether ketone ketone), has been followed in real time through measurement of the dielectric complex permittivity. The phenomenological Havriliak-Negami description has been used to analyze the changes of the dielectric strength, central relaxation time and shape parameters describing the relaxation, as crystallization proceeds. The evolution of the dielectric magnitudes with crystallization time has been interpreted in the light of the Schönhals-Schlosser model. According to this model, a restriction of the long scale motions of the polymeric chains as the material is filled in with crystals is observed. These results may contribute to the better understanding of dynamics of a glassy polymers during crystallization.
