The neutron scattering measurement was performed at the STFC ISIS facilities (United Kingdom).The processing of polymers is highly complex. The study of their crystallisation assumes an important role and needs to be carefully detailed. Scattering experiments can be used to study polymer molecular organisation. However these procedures are still very multifaceted leading to the need for planning all the details in the experiments that are to be performed. This manuscript presents a finite element model developed to study the temperature variation of a T Jump System, which has been used for studying polymer behaviour with the NIMROD instrument at the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, UK. Results show that the variation across the sample was 2ºC at a maximum temperature of 70ºC and 1ºC at a maximum temperature of 50ºC.engThermal analysisPolymerFinite element methodCrystallisationjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.890.155
