The crystallization kinetics of poly(ethylene terephthalate) was studied using constant cooling rate, isothermal and quenching experiments. A non‐isothermal crystallization kinetics equation based on a single mechanism was used to analyze the data. Different mechanisms of crystallization at low, intermediate, and high cooling rates were hypothesized based on deviation of the experimental data from the single mechanism model.
