Semicrystalline polymers products usually adopt a crystallized form in their end-use
environment. These crystallized polymers undergo various deformations under different …

This review highlights several aspects of the toughness of β-nucleated polypropylene (PP).
The focus is on dynamic fracture properties, a topic which is largely documented in the …

The methods of preparation and formation of supermolecular structures in quiescent and
sheared melts and the properties of the β-modification of isotactic polypropylene (β-iPP) are …

This paper reports on the optimization of polypropylene (PP) feedstock material towards
extrusion-based additive manufacturing. To achieve this, two commercially available grades …

The nucleating ability of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) towards isotactic polypropylene (iPP)
was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) …

Structure evolution during isothermal crystallization of isotactic polypropylene and the
