It was found that the nucleating agent decelerated the PE nonisothermal crystallization process. NA did enhance the nucleating rates for both PE and PP, but the linear growth rate dominated the volumetric growth rate for PE, and the volumetric growth rate dominated the overall crystallization rate. That is why PE nucleated with NA had a slower overall crystallization rate than the neat one.展开更多

文摘The crystallization behavior of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), including the neat ones and the ones nucleated with the same nucleating agent (NA), was studied by DSC.
