Polymer Crystallization Plugins for Origin(R)
The Polymer Crystallization Plugin ("Cryst_Fit Plugin" as short name) for Origin(R) is a set of tools which allow all the calculations needed to:
a.- Perform the Avrami Theory fits and comparisons between the experimental data and the predictions of the theory. This module was designed to analyze the DSC isotherms, establish the baseline, calculate the integral of it, perform the linear fit according to the Avrami equation, calculate fitting errors and perform graphical comparisons between the experimental data and the predictions.
b.- Perform the Lauritzen-Hoffman Crystallization Fit (“L-Hoffman”). This module was designed to analyze the crystallization kinetic data (from PLOM or DSC), performing the linear fit according to this theory model.
The Cryst_Fit Plugin is available for free distribution upon request, please Contact Me.
