Abstract

The stereo-defects distribution of polypropylene of the two industry biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) samples T28FE and F28SO with different processing properties was studied through successive self-nucleation and annealing (SSA) technique. It was found that there were more medium isotactic components in sample F28SO, and the isotactic sequence length of polypropylene of sample F28SO was shorter and the isotactic sequence length distribution of polypropylene of sample F28SO was broader, which could be processed well at high-speed orientation during the processing of BOPP films. This result indicates that the isotactic sequence length distribution of polypropylene is related to the processing speed during preparing BOPP films, and the stereo-defects distribution of polypropylene has an important influence on its processing ability.
