The poly (butylene succinate) (PBS) and 3 wt% attapulgite (ATP) reinforced PBS/ATP nanocomposites with 1,6-hexanediol were fabricated using an in situ polymerization method. The crystallization behaviors indicated that ATP had effectively acted as nucleating agent, resulting in the enhancement on the crystallization temperature. The SEM results showed a superior interfacial linkage between ATP and PBS. Also, ATP could disperse as a single fiber and embed in the polymer matrix, which resulted in the improved mechanical properties.

The melting and crystallization behaviors of Polypropylene/Syndiotactic1,2-polybutadiene (PP/s-PB) blends and neat PP were studied by using DSC, the results showed that the presence of s-PB in PP would have a strong impact on the crystallization capacity of PP. The presence of s-PB in PP could increase the crystallization temperature(Tc) of PP, and the s-PB could obviously lower supercooling temperature(Tm-Tc) of PP, but the s-PB in PP have a Slightly influence on the melting temperature(Tm) of PP. The proposed reason for those are that the crosslinking s-PB in high temperature is a nucleator for PP’s crystallization and increases PP’s crystalline rate. However, the s-PB lowers PP’s crystallinity. At the same time, the presence of PP in blends lowers s-PB’s crystallinity, but the PP in blends have a Slightly influence on the melting temperature(Tm) and crystallization temperature(Tc) of s-PB.
