Crystallization rates of GPP (glassy phosphate polymer) were increased by the am shear deformation/mixing. Evolution of structure during shear flow of the GPP melt can be explained by re-ordering of polyphosphate molecular chains or liquid crystalline structures in the melt state. Semi-quantitative melt processing parameters such as onset time for crystallization, shear strain, and rate can be used to control the GPP crystallization. The analytical techniques used (DSC/XRD, etc.) in this study are novel and efficient in characterizing effects of crystallization during flow of phosphate glass melts in a rheometer, extruder, etc.
