The nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) filled with a novel nucleating agent (TMC328) was studied by using differential scanning calorimetric. The commonly used Arami, Ozawa, and Mo models were used to model the crystallization kinetics, and it appears that Arami and Mo models can well describe the nonisothermal crystallization behaviors of iPP/TMC328 blends. The results indicate that a small amount of TMC328 can obviously enhance the kinetic crystallizability of iPP due to its heterogeneous nucleation effect.

Abstract The nonisothermal crystallization behaviors of virgin isotactic polybutene-1 (iPB-1) and iPBn (iPB-1 containing a nucleating agent that owns acid amides structure; iPB/Mult920=100/0.5, mass ratio) were studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Modified Avrami theories (Ozawa method) and Mo method were used to analyze the DSC date. The results show that both methods are suitable to describe the crystallization process of iPB-1 and iPBn. Addition of 0.5% (mass ratio) nucleating agent can give rise to the nucleation effect, which increases the crystallization temperature (Tc) and the rate of crystallization of iPB-1, decreases the activation energy of crystallization (ΔE), and increases the crystallization rate of iPB-1 under the actual conditions.
