Abstract
AbstractFlexural test specimens were injection‐molded from polypropylenes added with 0.5 wt % of calcium carbonate, talc, p‐tert‐ dibutyl‐benzoic acid monohydroxy aluminum, or p‐di‐methyl‐benzylidene sorbitol under cylinder temperatures of 200–;320°C. Properties such as flexural modulus, flexural strength, heat distortion temperature, Izod impact strength, hardness, and mold shrinkage and higher‐order structures such as crystalline texture, crystallinity, a*‐axis‐oriented component fraction, and degree of crystalline orientation were measured and structure–property relationships were studied. By the addition of crystallization nucleators, the flexural modulus, flexural strength, heat distortion temperature, hardness, and mold shrinkage were increased and Izod impact strength was decreased. The degrees of crystalline orientation such as the orientation fraction OF and c‐axis orientation function fc were increased by the addition of nucleators. The degree of the increase was higher as the crystallization temperature was higher. Close relationships were observed between some properties and the degrees of crystalline orientation.
