Existence and uniqueness of a classical solution for a mathematical model describing the isobaric crystallization of a polymer (Q1971105)

This paper gives a global existence result for the classical solution of a free boundary problem for a system of partial differential equations with nonlocal boundary conditions describing the crystallization process of a cylindrical sample of polymer under prescribed pressure. The model under consideration helps to point out some interesting features of the physical phenomenon and is in a good agreement with experimental data.
