摘要

This work found that α-nucleating agent talc and β-nucleating agent TMB-5 can accelerate the non-isothermal crystallization of polypropylene and change the temperature range of self-nucleation Domain II. In presence of TMB-5

the self-nucleation effect enhanced the formation of α-crystallite.

Abstract

In this work

the self-nucleation effect on crystallization was studied for polypropylene with various nucleating agents. The talc was employed to accelerate crystallization of monoclinic

-crystallites

while

′-dicyclohexyl-2

6-naphthalenedicarboxamide TMB-5 was used to accelerate the crystallization kinetics and also induce formation of trigonal

-crystallites. To induce self-nucleation effect

the occurrence criterion was assessed by the transition temperatures from various domains and the available temperature width. More importantly

the resulting influences of self-nucleation effect were quantified by the change of crystallization kinetics and the potential polymorphism variation. It was found that the

-nucleating agents of talc broadened the temperature window for inducing Domain II by elevating the transition temperature from Domain I to Domain II. Although

-nucleating agent (

-NA) of

′-dicyclohexyl-2

6-naphthalenedicarboxamide TMB-5 elevated cooling crystallization temperature obviously

the temperature window for Domain II was narrowed. It should be emphasized that in presence of

-NA TMB-5

the self-nucleation effect enhances the crystallization of

-crystallite

which show the competition with

-NA TMB-5. At last

the ternary PP/talc/TMB-5 blend was prepared with the same amounts of

-NA talc and

-NA TMB-5 and it exhibits a similar self-nucleation effect of crystallization

indicating the dominant role of

-NA TMB-5.
