AbstractDroplet experiments have been performed on polybutene‐1. It was found that this polymer can be cooled to room temperature without homogeneous nucleation of crystallization. It was also found that when the polymer was heterogeneously nucleated, form I (as well as form II) could be crystallized directly from the melt. The melting point of droplets crystallized in form I near room temperature decreased with increasing crystallization temperature, while the melting point of the droplets crystallized in form I at the highest temperatures increased with increasing crystallization temperature. There was a broad minimum at about 60°C. in the melting point versus crystallization temperature curve.
