The time dependence of melting of morphologically different crystals of polyethylene was investigated. New DTA and calorimeter techniques were developed. A microscope hot stage allowing heating rates of up to 3000°C/min was built for melting‐point determinations. The superheating of extended‐chain crystals was clearly demonstrated by qualitative DTA and isothermal quantitative calorimetry. Smaller crystals and folded‐chain crystals showed decreasingly less superheating. Crystals which are less perfect and have large surfaces show increasing reorganization. A region of approximately zero entropy production melting seems to lie between reorganization at slow heating rates and superheating at faster heating rates.
