Abstract: With the Differential Scanning Calormeter (DSC) and Polarized Light Microscope (PLM), the effect of a series of nucleating agents on the low ethylene content polypropylene copolymers and polypropylene (PP)/polyethylene (PE) blends have been studied.It is shown that the nucleating agent which is effective to the crystallization of PPhomopolymer is also useful to the crystallization of PPcopolymers.In general, the efficiency of nucleating agent in PPcopolymer is higher than PPhomopolymer, which can be well explained by the difference of regularity of molecular chain between PPcopolymer and PPhomopolymer.In PP/PEblends, the nucleating agents affect the nucleation of both PPand PEcrystallization.
