    Samenvatting

    The investigation of poly(butylene-2,6-naphthalate) crystallization by means of chip-calorimetry and ultrafast wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) revealed the existence of two possible mechanisms. The formation Of the stable triclinic-alpha-phase occurs directly from the undercooled melt at law cooling rates/high crystallization temperature. At higher cooling rates a two-stage route is observed: crystallization is preceded by the formation of a mesomorphic phase from the isotropic melt The monotiopic behavior of poly(butylene-2,6-naphthalate), becoming apparent only under severe cooling conditions, obeys the well-known Ostwald's rule of stages
