Abstract: Depolarized light intensity technique was applied to investigating the isothermal crystallizing kinetics characteristics of polyethylene terephthalate(PET), polybutylene terephthalate(PBT) and PET-PBT, PBT-PBIcopolyesters under various conditions. The results show that the crystallization rate constants and the Avrami exponents change regularly under various conditions. Avrami exponents were mostly not integer. Therefore, it is presumed that Avrami exponent indicate the number of growth points in crystal nucleus.
