摘要
In this study, the crystallization behavior and polymorphic morphology of two series of β-iPP resins with nearly same average isotacticity (PP-A and PP-B) but different uniformities of stereo-defect distribution, different molecular masses were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results reveal that the uniformity of stereo-defect distribution plays determining role in the crystallization temperature of iPP, while both stereo-defect distribution uniformity and molecular masses are crucial factors affecting the crystallization efficiency and thermal stability of β-crystallization. Lower molecular mass and less uniform stereo-defect distribution are less favorable for formation of high amount of β-phase; the higher molecular mass and less uniform stereo-defect distribution help to form β-phase with higher thermal stability. Above results reveal that in the case of iPP nucleated with dual component β-nucleating agent, molecular masses and stereo-defect distribution play different roles in determining the polymorphic behavior of iPP, which should be considered comprehensively during the process of practical manufacturing and research. © 2017, Editorial Board of Polymer Materials Science & Engineering.
