Abstract
The ratio of the temperature at which the nucleation rate or the crystal growth rate is maximum (Tc max) to the melting temperature (Tm) was predicted theoretically as a function of two parameters: one is the ratio of the activation energy of migration through the nucleus-melt interface to the heat of fusion and the other is the ratio of the mean surface energy of a mole of repeat unit to the heat of fusion. The ratios of Tc max/Tm were evaluated from the above two parameters.
