Abstract
The effect of crystallization temperatures (100–140°C) on the formation of β crystalline form in isotactic polypropylene nucleated by pimelic acid and sodium, magnesium, zinc, calcium, barium and aluminium salts of pimelic acid has been investigated. It is found that β crystalline form can be produced from polypropylene melt, isothermally crystallized at 120 or 130°C. Aluminium pimelate is a α nucleator which suppresses the production of β crystalline form in polypropylene. Pimelic acid and magnesium pimelate are weak β nucleators. Sodium pimelate is a moderate β nucleator. Zinc pimelate, calcium pimelate and barium pimelate are good β nucleators for polypropylene with calcium pimelate being the best.
