Mesoscale simulations of spherulite growth during isothermal crystallization of polymer melts via an enhanced 3D phase-field model

A finite difference-based 3D phase-field model is developed to investigate the spherulite growth at the mesoscopic scale during the isothermal crystallization of polyamide (PA) 12. The model introduces a phase-field variable to distinguish the crystalline and amorphous phases of polymers. The phase-...
