摘 要: | An aryl dicarboxylic acid amide compound TMB-5 is an efficientβ-form nucleating agent for isotactic polypropylene(iPP).Because of the solubility of TMB-5,superstructure and morphology of iPP crystals changed with melting conditions.Effects of final heating temperature(T_f)on heterogeneous nucleation of iPP/TMB-5 were investigated.It was discovered that the crystallization temperature increased with decreasing T_f value.The optical microscopic images indicated that when TMB-5 partially dissolved in iPP melt,the remaining(non-dissolved)TMB-5 facilitated the recrystallization of dissolved nucleating agent from the melt,which promoted crystallization.Complete solubility of nucleating agent caused the decreasing efficiency.TMB-5 recrystallized in the form of tiny needles,whose aggregates induced dendritic iPP crystals.
