Relaxation of Shear-Induced Precursors in Isotactic Polypropylene and Random Propylene-Ethylene copolymers

Extensional-flow-induced crystallization of isotactic polypropylene

A filament stretching extensional rheometer with a custom-built oven was used to investigate the effect of uniaxial flow on the crystallization of polypropylene. Prior to stretching, samples were heated to a temperature well above the melt temperature to erase their thermal and mechanical histories and the Janeschitz-Kriegl protocol was applied. The samples were stretched at extension rates in ...

A solution blending route to ethylene propylene diene terpolymer/layered double hydroxide nanocomposites

Ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM)/MgAl layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanocomposites have been synthesized by solution intercalation using organically modified LDH (DSLDH). The molecular level dispersion of LDH nanolayers has been verified by the disappearance of basal XRD peak of DS-LDH in the composites. The internal structures, of the nanocomposite with the dispersion nature of LDH ...

High-pressure crystallization of isotactic polypropylene droplets

Dispersions of isotactic polypropylene (PP) particles in polystyrene (PS) were produced by interfacially driven breakup of nanolayers in multilayered systems that were fabricated by means of layer-multiplying coextrusion. The droplet size was controlled by the individual PP layer thickness ranging from 12 to 200 nm. In addition, PP was melt blended with PS to produce PP droplets larger than tho...
