The mechanical properties of stereoblock polypropylene/isotactic polypropylene blends have been analyzed a t different temperatures and at large deformations. The samples at a lower content of isotactic polypropylene show good elastic properties, both in terms of deformation reversibility and in ter

β¦ Synopsis
The blending process of stereoblock isotactic polypropylene and isotactic polypropylene (sbiPP/iPP) including a well distribution of the components (by solvent mixing), posterior hot pressing (shear mixing), and a final quenching into ice water freezing these blends at room temperature in a particular flow oriented cocrystallized structure. This structure gives rise to a birefringent pattern which is stable up to 17OoC when it disappears by melting. In the molten state the two components segregate destroying the original flow oriented structure. In the following cooling the iPP crystallizes in a spherulitic form and the sbiPP phase crystallizes only partially disturbed by the restrictions imposed by the iPP crystals.

Phase diagrams were calculated based on Flory-Huggins solution thermodynamics to investigate the effects of polydispersity of polymer molecules and interaction parameter on the phase equilibria of crystallizable polymer solutions. The polydispersity was modeled with blends of two monodisperse polyme
The effects of the stereospecificity of a polymer chain and of the interaction in polypropylene (PP) solutions on the relation between liquid-liquid phase separation and crystallization were investigated by using an isotactic PP (i-PP) and a syndiotactic PP (s-PP) of high stereoregularity and of sim
This article discusses the influence of two natural terpene resins (NTR), poly(β£-pinene) (Pβ£P A115) and poly(d-limonene) (PL C115), on morphology, miscibility, thermal, and dynamic-mechanical properties of their blends with isotactic polypropylene (iPP). The NTR have interesting physical and chemica
