Injection-molded β-isotactic polypropylene (β-iPP) specimens were prepared by adding three β nucleation masterbatches, i.e., NT-MA, NT-MB and NT-MC, respectively. The melting, crystallization and mechanical properties of β-iPP specimens were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and mechanical tests. It is revealed that β crystalline form contents were enhanced by the β nucleation masterbatches, and the β contents of the cores were higher than those of the skins of injection molded specimens. The tensile strain at break and Izod notched impact strength of iPP were greatly improved by the β nucleation masterbatches. It was found that the β nucleation efficiency was in the order: NT-MC > NT-MA > NT-MB.

Ziegler-Natta isotactic polypropylene (iPP) was melt mixed with four different nucleating agents (carbon nanotubes (CNT), carbon nanofibers (CNF), lithium benzoate (LiBe), and a sorbitol derivative (Millad)) in order to study their effect on the crystallization of iPP. It was found that the four different nucleating agents promote the alpha crystalline form. At 0.01 wt%, the carbon nanoparticles produced the higher crystallization temperature “Tc” (~119°C), whereas, at 0.10 wt%, LiBe and Millad produced a markedly higherTc(~125°C).Tcof pure iPP was 111°C. With 0.1 wt% nucleating agent, at 120°C, the crystallization half-life time of PP, when using LiBe or Millad, was 15 times faster than for pure PP, whereas, when using carbon nanoparticles, it was 20–25 times faster. At 135°C, with 0.01 wt% nucleating agent, the isothermal crystallization process of iPP was completed after 25 min, as well as with Millad. With LiBe, it was completed after just 15 min and, with any of the carbon nanoparticles, it was practically over after only a couple of minutes.
