Optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and small-angle X-ray scattering techniques were used to study the influence of crystallization conditions on the morphology and thermal behavior of samples of ternary blends constituted by isotactic polypropylene (iPP), atactic polystyrene (aPS

β¦ Synopsis
A novel graft copolymer of unsaturated propylene with styrene (uPP-g-PS) was added to isotactic polypropylene (iPP) to investigate the state of mixing between uPP-g-PS and iPP phase and effects of the uPP-g-PS addition on iPP intrinsic phase structure, i.e., on iPP spherulitic texture and inner structure of the spherulites fibrillae. Thin films of iPP/uPP-g-PS blends containing 2, 5, and 10% (wt/wt) of graft copolymer were prepared by o-dichlorobenzene casting, according to the method we used previously to obtain samples of iPP/atactic polystyrene/uPP-g-PS ternary blends (D'Orazio et al.
