In the first paper of this series the principles for solidification of crystallizable polymers under heat transfer conditions are discussed for the case of the absence of flow. For industrial polymers, which, in general, are forced to crystallize at large undercoolings, the pertinent kinetic data are extremely rare. In the present paper the growth speeds of spherulites and the number of nuclei per unit volume are presented as functions of temperature for two industrial polybutene‐1 grades.
