The structure development and mechanical properties of blow extruded polypropylene containing b-phase nucleating additives was studied. Quinacridone red and cadmium red were both found to nucleate the b phase in polypropylene, the former being a much more efficient nucleator than the latter. The b-p

## Abstract A new kind of rosinβtype nucleating agent for polypropylene (PP), the cocrystal of dehydroabietic acid, potassium dehydroabietate, and sodium dehydroabietate, was prepared, and the effects of the nucleating agents on the mechanical and crystallization properties of PP were also studied.
Studies have been undertaken to investigate the effect of sugars on the thermal and rheological properties of sago starch. Sugars were found to increase the gelatinization temperature T(gel), and gelatinization enthalpy DeltaH. T(gel) and DeltaH increased in the following order: control (water alone
## Abstract This study describes the effect of predrying sago starch, a tropical starch, on the resultant mechanical properties of starch/poly(Ξ΅βcaprolactone) composite materials. Sago starch was dried to less than a 1% moisture level in a vacuum oven and dispersed into a polycaprolactone matrix wi
Potato tubers (cv Maris Piper) were grown at 10, 16, 20 and 25 Β°C in constant-environment chambers until maturity, whereupon the starches were extracted and subjected to rigorous chemical and physical analysis. The structure of the amylopectin molecules from the different starches postdebranching wi
