Syndiotactic polypropylene (sPP) was quenched from the melt in an icewater bath, and changes in the structural organization, during the aging time, were followed by X-rays, differential scanning calorimetry, and transport properties of dichloromethane at low activities. After 1 month, an increase of

β¦ Synopsis
Physical aging studies were made using commercial and laboratory samples of isotactic polypropylene. Linear and nonlinear viscoelastic responses were measured after quenching the glass from above the glass transition temperatures to below the glass transition. Results show that aging is not eliminated by large mechanical deformations; rather, the time required for the glass to age into equilibrium is independent of the applied stress. Results obtained are purely kinetic and interpreted as the effects accompanying the process of glass formation in a semicrystalline polymer.
