The kinetics of liquid crystalline phase transition from the isotropic state to the anisotropic state, which is by analogy termed liquid crystallization, for poly( p ‐benzamide)(PBA)/H 2 SO 4 and PBA/Nylon 6/H 2 SO 4 systems was investigated by the depolarized light intensity (DLI) technique and polarized light microscopy (PLM). The experimental data were analysed using the Avrami equation. The n value, according to the Avrami equation, is about 1 for both PBA/H 2 SO 4 and PBA/Nylon 6/H 2 SO 4 systems, which suggests that the liquid crystallization of PBA/H 2 SO 4 and PBA/Nylon 6/H 2 SO 4 systems is a process of instantaneous nucleation with one‐dimensional growth. The introduction of Nylon 6 into PBA/H 2 SO 4 does not have any significant effect on the Avrami exponent n . The results also show that the Avrami exponent n and the half‐time for the liquid crystallization are temperature dependent.
