Flow-induced crystallization (FIC) is a dominant mechanism of polymer self-assembly, but the process is poorly understood at high supercooling and under fast cooling conditions because of structural rearrangements that occur during slow heating and cooling conditions typically used for investigation. Incorporating fast-scanning chip calorimetry techniques, the influence that specific amounts of shear flow have on the subsequent crystallization of polyamide 66 over a wide range of temperatures, 85–240 °C, is determined. At high temperatures, heterogeneous nucleation dominates and crystallization rate increases with increasing shear. Low-temperature crystallization, driven by homogeneous nucleation, is not influenced by previous shear flow, but sheared samples are able to crystallize via the heterogeneous nucleation route at temperatures 15 K lower than unsheared materials. The magnitude of previous shear flow also dictates α-/γ-crystalline phase development and crystallization during cooling at rates below...
