Abstract: | 2D wide-angle X-ray diffraction (2D-WAXD) measurement was performed to investigate the effects of both oscillatory shear and the nucleating agent on the crystalline structure distribution and orientation of isotactic polypropylene (iPP). 1,3:2,4-bis(p-methylbenzylidene) sorbitol (MDBS) and 1,3:2,4-di(3,4-dimethylbenzylidene) sorbitol (DMDBS) can induce α-PP and β-PP simultaneously. The presence of MDBS (or DMDBS) and oscillatory strain (oscillatory frequency is fixed) exhibits a synergistic interaction on increasing the content of β-crystals of iPP. Under the oscillatory shear field at the fixed oscillatory strain, the β-crystal content and the orientation of iPP with and without MDBS (or DMDBS) change slightly with the increase of the oscillatory frequency. Comparing with MDBS (or DMDBS) nucleated iPP crystallization under shear field, the periodically changed flow direction of the oscillatory shear field leads to the shorter α-row nuclei, weaker orientation but more β-crystals of the nucleated iPP. |
