Effect of Organic Cage Nucleating Agent Structure on Nucleating Efficiency and the Structure-Property Relationship

Effect of Organic Cage Nucleating Agent Structure on Nucleating Efficiency and the Structure-Property Relationship

Three types of organic cage compounds, namely, cucurbit[6]uril (Q[6]), hemicucurbit[6]uril (HQ[6]), and <i>β</i>-cyclodextrin (BC), with different cavity structures as heterogeneous nucleation agents were selected for a polypropylene (PP) foaming injection molding process. The experiment...
