Abstract
Crystallization behavior of isotactic polypropylene (i-PP) in nonisothermal conditions was studied by wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) using monochromatized X-rays from synchrotron radiation. It was demonstrated that the crystallization rate during continuous cooling with a constant rate is not only a function of the actual, momentary temperature, but also depends on the cooling rate. Except for temperatures close to the melting temperature, the measured values of the crystallization rate are much smaller than those evaluated from isothermal crystallization. SAXS studies revealed two regions of changes in lamellar morphology occurring during the initial and final periods of the process.
