Aging of glassy isotactic polybutene-1 (iPB-1) below the glass transition temperature (Tg) leads to remarkable acceleration of the subsequent isothermal crystallization due to the promotion of crystal nuclei. The formation and development of crystal nuclei during aging belowTgand during heating to the crystallization temperature have been probed by fast scanning chip calorimetry. The size and stability of the crystal nuclei change with the aging time. A short aging belowTgcan only induce nuclei with small sizes which can grow into bigger stable ones during the heating process aboveTgif the heating rate is not high enough. With a prolonged aging time belowTg, bigger stable nuclei can also be developed, and its number increases till reaches a maximum value. These results suggest that noncooperative local motions rather than cooperative segmental motions in glassyiPB-1 are responsible for the formation of crystal nuclei during aging belowTg.
