Abstract

High pressure crystallization of polypropylene was studied by means of PVT measurements and computer simulations. The isothermal crystallization behaviour were described by using a model which takes into account the effect of pressure on the temperature dependence of nucleation rate and linear growth rate. The agreement between the simulation and the experiments was seen in the tendency that the crystallization was accelerated by the high pressure. The non-isothermal crystallization behavior was also simulated by applying a generalized Avrami equation. The simulation curves well reproduced the experimental values below relative crystallinity 0.5 and below 100 MPa.
