The kinetics of this process are described using an equation relating it to e to the minus K t to the n, where K is temperature-dependent, t is time, and n is a constant between 1 and 4 named for Avrami.

It often occurs perpendicular to an applied stress and can result in "shish-kebab" morphologies. A theory developed by Lauritzen and Hoffman shows that the size of the structure resulting from this process is inversely proportional to the amount of (*) subcooling, but incorrectly predicts an increase in that layer thickness at a critical subcooling amount. During this process, spherulites often form, and this process includes nucleation and growth phases. For 10 points, name this process in which a polymer melt solidifies into ordered structures between amorphous regions upon cooling.
