Abstract EN
Ziegler-Natta isotactic polypropylene (iPP) was melt mixed with four different nucleating agents (carbon nanotubes (CNT), carbon nanofibers (CNF), lithium benzoate (LiBe), and a sorbitol derivative (Millad)) in order to study their effect on the crystallization of iPP.
It was found that the four different nucleating agents promote the alpha crystalline form.
At 0.01 wt%, the carbon nanoparticles produced the higher crystallization temperature “ T c ” (~119°C), whereas, at 0.10 wt%, LiBe and Millad produced a markedly higher T c (~125°C).
T c of pure iPP was 111°C.
With 0.1 wt% nucleating agent, at 120°C, the crystallization half-life time of PP, when using LiBe or Millad, was 15 times faster than for pure PP, whereas, when using carbon nanoparticles, it was 20–25 times faster.
At 135°C, with 0.01 wt% nucleating agent, the isothermal crystallization process of iPP was completed after 25 min, as well as with Millad.
With LiBe, it was completed after just 15 min and, with any of the carbon nanoparticles, it was practically over after only a couple of minutes.
