Crystallographic behavior of nascent isotactic polypropylene produced under supercritical conditions
The materials used here were isotactic polypropylene (iPP) produced by conventional slurry polymerization and under supercritical conditions.Wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) patterns of the iPPs obtained under various conditions were recorded to analyze the nascent polymorphic form.The effects of polymerization process
pre-polymerization temperature
particle size and molecular weight of the resultant iPPs on nascent polymorphic form were investigated.The iPP produced by supercritical polymerization was the mixture of α and γ forms while the iPP produced by conventional slurry process was only in the α form
just because
in the supercritical state of high pressure and high temperature
mass and heat transfer should be faster
which would facilitate development of nascent polymorphic form. Furthermore
pre-polymerization temperature
particle size and molecular weight of obtained iPPs were found to have significant effect on nascent crystallographic behavior.
