Abstract
We report the inverse Meyer–Neldel (MN) rule in the thermally activated crystallization of a hybrid composite of phenol formaldehyde using two experimental approaches. In the first experiment, the annealing time dependence of the pre-exponential factor K 0 and the activation energy of crystallization E c were studied. In the second experiment, the annealing temperature dependence of the same parameters was investigated. We observed the inverse Meyer–Neldel rule between the pre-exponential factor K 0 and the activation energy of crystallization E c in both cases.
