Review text

Usually crystallization is considered as a superposition of three processes, each of them being of stochastic nature in principle: Nucleation, which is the process of the appearance of spots in space and time (called nuclei), which form the starting points of growing crystalline objects (called crystallites). Growth, which is the process of space-filling by the individual crystallites. Perfection, which is the process of improvement of the interior crystalline structure of the crystallites, also called secondary crystallization. Until now almost always the process of perfection has been neglected in modeling, thus assuming that the crystalline structure of the crystallites remains constant after their formation. This simplifying assumption will be made also in this work leading to a one-to-one correspondence between the degree of crystallinity and the degree of space-filling. However, one must keep in mind that, in particular with some polymers, secondary crystallization is not negligible.
