Abstract: An equation of non-isothermal crystallization kinetics was derived according to a new model and the crystallizations of both the PET samples under solid state polycon-densation and the pre-orientation yarn of high speeding spinning PET were studied with this equation. The results show that there is a good linear relationship between In {-In[1-X(T)]} and lnΦ. The index m in the equation approximately equals to 3 for PET chips and 1. 3 for pre-orientated yarn. At the same temperature, Q(T) decreases with the increase of PET M. W. and the kinetics parameters obtained by Jeziorny' s method indicate that G also decreases with the increase of PET M. W.. Q(T) and Gc show the same varying tendency in the non-isothermal crystallization process.
