Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

In the present work, a large number of growth rate data for α-phase isotactic polypropylene, taken from literature, have been described by the Lauritzen and Hoffmann equation. A general procedure to predict nuclei density by simple DSC measurements is described and applied successfully to a commercial iPP.
