Abstract

The unusual dependence of the melting peak temperature of the species recrystallized during DSC scans on the isothermal crystallization temperature (T c ) is discussed for isotactic polypropylene samples.

It is pointed out that such a phenomenon is not due to superheating effects; it is believed to be accounted for by assuming that the rates of the recrystallization phenomena at the same temperature are higher for samples obtained at higherT c values.

Zusammenfassung

Die ungewöhnliche Abhängigkeit der Temperatur des Schmelzpeaks der während des DSC-Versuchs rekristallisierten Species von der isothermen Kristallisationstemperatur (T c ) wird diskutiert. Es wird gezeigt, daß solch ein Phänomen nicht Überhitzungseffekten zuzuschreiben ist; unser Meinung nach kann es durch die Annahme erklärt werden, daß die Geschwindigkeiten der Rekristallisationsphänomene für bei höherenT c -Werten erhaltene Proben bei gleicher Temperatur größer sind.

Резюме

Для образцов изотакт ического полипропил ена обсуждена необычная зависимость температурного пика плавления частиц, рекристаллизующихс я в течении ДСК измере ний на температуру изотерм ической кристаллиза цииT c . Отмечено, что это явле ние не может быть обусловлено эффекта ми перегрева и объясн яется тем, что при той же самой те мпературе скорость рекристалл изации выше для образ цов, полученных при более высоких значенияхT c .
