A new method for thermal history evaluation of crystalline polymers was proposed. The on-set temperature and the peak top temperature of the small endothermic melting peak caused by annealing were determined by differential DSC curves. For PBT, the relationship between the on-set temperature and the annealing temperature, and the relationship between the peak top temperature and the annealing time at fixed annealing temperature showed good liner correlations. Therefore, the on-set and the peak top temperatures were reflecting the annealing temperature and the time, respectively.
