Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT The melt crystallization characteristics of a compound of coconut lignocellulosic fibers dispersed in poly(butylene adipate terephthalate) (PBAT), a fully biodegradable copolyester matrix, was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). PBAT/coconut fiber compounds with 10% and 20% filler content were prepared in a laboratory internal mixer; torque rheometry showed negligible degradation during processing. Nonisothermal melt crystallization of the matrix was thoroughly studied by DSC in 10% compounds at cooling rates between 2 and 32°C/min, and quantitative information was provided on crystallization temperatures and rates, as well as the crystallinity developed, which turned out to be higher than expected at the high cooling rates. Crystallization kinetic results were correlated using classical macrokinetic Pseudo-Avrami, Ozawa, and Mo models, in order to obtain quantitative analytical expressions appropriate for processing applications. Pseudo-Avrami and Mo models were found to represent well the experimental data. A detailed analysis of the model fitting is presented, in order to assess the expected uncertainties. Despite its failings at the onset and end of the crystallization process, Mo model is recommended as best overall empirical correlation of the experimental data for the intended purpose. RESUMO Os parâmetros da cristalização a partir do fundido de um composto de fibras lignocelulósicas de côco dispersas em poli (butileno adipato tereftalato) (PBAT), uma matriz de copoliéster totalmente biodegradável, foi estudada por calorimetria exploratória diferencial (DSC). Os compostos de PBAT/fibra de côco com 10% e 20% de fibra foram preparados num misturador interno de laboratório; a reometria de torque mostrou degradação insignificante durante o processamento. A cristalização não-isotérmica a partir do fundido da matriz foi estudada por DSC em compostos com 10% de fibra com taxas de resfriamento entre 2 e 32°C/min, e informações quantitativas foram fornecidas em temperaturas e taxas de cristalização, bem como a cristalinidade desenvolvida, que apresentou valor maior do que o esperado nas altas taxas de resfriamento. Os resultados cinéticos da cristalização foram correlacionados usando modelos clássicos macrocinéticos: Pseudo-Avrami, Ozawa e Mo, para obter expressões analíticas quantitativas apropriadas para o processamento. Os modelos Pseudo-Avrami e Mo representaram bem os dados experimentais. Uma análise detalhada da modelagem é apr
