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 ,α,-crystallites, while ,N,N,′-dicyclohexyl-2,6-naphthalenedicarboxamide TMB-5 was used to accelerate the crystallization kinetics and also induce formation of trigonal ,β,-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 ,α,-nucleating agents of talc broadened the temperature window for inducing Domain II by elevating the transition temperature from Domain I to Domain II. Although ,β,-nucleating agent (,β,-NA) of ,N,N,′-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 ,β,-NA TMB-5, the self-nucleation effect enhances the crystallization of ,α,-crystallite, which show the competition with ,β,-NA TMB-5. At last, the ternary PP/talc/TMB-5 blend was prepared with the same amounts of ,α,-NA talc and ,β,-NA TMB-5 and it exhibits a similar self-nucleation effect of crystallization, indicating the dominant role of ,β,-NA TMB-5.
