Early stage crystallization kinetics of polypropylene (PP)/clay composites is studied using rheometery. Relaxation modulus of composites is measured at low frequencies near liquid–solid transition. Small amplitude oscillating shear flow is applied at low frequencies to obtain relaxation modulus. Relaxation modulus of polymeric materials at the liquid–solid transition follows [Formula: see text], at long times ( λ < t < ∞), where λ is the time to crossover to a different relaxation regime, s is the gel stiffness, and n is the relaxation exponent. Inverse quenching technique is then employed to retain degree of crystallization while rheological measurements are made. Lower gel time is observed as clay concentration increased, indicating the formation of more nuclei. An improvement to Avrami’s equation is proposed to predict crystallization kinetics for PP/clay composites. There is a good agreement between predicted relative crystallinity values and empirical values.
