Effect of Sorbitol Templates on the Preferential Crystallographic Growth of Isotactic Polypropylene Wax

The crystallization of isotactic polypropylene wax (iPP) in the presence of different sorbitol structures was studied. Dibenzylidene Sorbitol (DBS), as well as two of its derivatives with one or two methyl groups in the DBS molecule (MDBS and DMDBS, respectively), were tested as nanometer-size fibri...
