The experimental results indicate that both crystalliza-tion temperature and propylene sequence length exhibit great influence on the crystallization behavior and crystalline structure of the copolymer. It was found that the ethylene co-monomers acting as point defects inserted into the polypropylene chains play an important role in the formation of γ-iPP. As the co-monomer content increases, the crystallizable sequence length of iPP decreases, which produces an appropriate condition for its γ crystallization. At the same time, the existence of chain defects leads to a lower crystallinity of the copolymer and imperfection of the resultant crystals. For each individual sample with certain propylene sequence length or ethylene content, the increment of γ-iPP crystal content with increasing crystallization temperature demonstrates that higher crystallization tempera-ture is in favor of the γ-iPP crystallization. Pure γ-iPP crystals have been got in samples with propylene sequence length lower than 21 under suitable crystallization conditions.展开更多
