Fracture Mechanics Properties of Polymorphic Polypropylene

Abstract: Polypropylene (PP) is a widely used thermoplastic and polymorphic polymer. Three different types of PP were prepared, namely non-nucleated, -and -nucleated PP. These materials were pressed using different cooling rates to influence the degree of crystallinity within the materials, which was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The materials resistance against stable crack propagation was described by R-curves. The J d -a curves were determined using the instrumented Charpy impact test (ICIT) … Show more

“…The latter embody themselves in the form of spatial variations in morphology, with their length scale and variance depending on the specific process and conditions. These in turn have a significant impact on the macroscopic properties, such as mechanical properties and crack propagation . Hence, spatially mapping the morphology in a comprehensive manner is an important task in order to establish process→structure→property relationships and use these to optimize manufacturing …”

“…These in turn have a signifi cant impact on the macroscopic properties, such as mechanical properties and crack propagation. [3][4][5] Hence, spatially mapping the morphology in a comprehensive manner is an important task in order to establish process→structure→property relationships and use these to optimize manufacturing. [ 6 ] The morphology of PP has been well studied and it has been known that PP crystallizes in three different polymorphs, namely, the α-, β-and γ-form.…”
