✦ Synopsis

In the present work, an attempt has been made to study the development of morphology during extrusion and.uniaxia1 stretching of polypropylene (PP) films and filaments at corresponding conditions. Dies for extrusion of films and filaments were designed to achieve similar extrusion velocity and shear rates. Orientation in films and fibers of PP produced from these dies was determined by birefringence and wide-angle X-ray diffraction ( WAXD) .

The degree of crystallinity was determined by density and WAXD. The superstructure developed during extrusion was studied in films by small-angle light scattering. It was inferred that films and fibers prepared under similar conditions would produce similar morphology. Hence, films can be characterized by optical techniques when it is difficult to study fibers.

Data are presented showing that rapidly quenrhed polypropylene film contain a paracrystalline phase in addition to crystalline and amorphous phases. The density of the paracrystalline phase was found to vary between 0.8890 and 0.9080 gJcm.3. Other data show that the density of quenched polypropylene
