Three classical methods (Pseudo-Avrami, Ozawa, and Mo models) were used to correlate nonisothermal melt and cold crystallization kinetics data of neat poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and PHB/carbon black compounds, measured by differential scanning calorimetry. The applicability of the three models was tested comparing model predictions with experimental data. Results suggest that Pseudo-Avrami model fits the experimental data well. Ozawa model does not fit data well, as verified by the large uncertainties and unphysical values of the fitting parameters. Mo model may be considered adequate if moderately deviations could be tolerated. Datasets of all compositions are included as the Supplementary Information.
