THE EFFECT OF CRYSTALLINE PHASE MORPHOLOGY ON THE STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF POLYPROPYLENE IMPACT COPOLYMERS

The present study covers the preparation and the characterisation of ï¢-nucleated impact polypropylene copolymer (NA-IPC), and its fractions prepared through temperature rising elution fractionation (TREF). Calcium stearate (CaSt), as well as pimelic (Pim) and adipic (Adi) acids, were doped into IPC...
