During the cooling stage in several types polymer processing, the behavior of the polymer is very difficult to model and to simulate numerically, because of the complicated coupling between the crystallization process, the heat transfer and the material properties change. The aim of this Note is the numerical simulation of the coupling phenomena between the crystallization rate and the thermal kinetics in a semi-crystalline polymer during cooling without flow, by using Finite Elements Method.
