“…If o ne considers the crys tallog raphy of T -polypropylene, there is a st rict o rder of packing o f helices [17 ～ 19] , and in additio n chain folding of PP and the packing of righ t-and left-handed helices in the crys tal are v ery clo sely related [ 20] . The com m onest tacticity def ects appear as a pai r of syndiotactic diads w hich preserve the directionality of the iso tactic chain [ 17] , and even if not included in the crystal w ould allow the same adjacent reent ry but w ith a loop ins tead o f a tight fold.…”

Blends of poly pro py lene ( PP ) a nd lo w-densi ty poly ethylene ( L DP E) have been crystal li zed t o fo rm o pen st ruct ures(" cl uster spheruli tes" ) where the dropl et s o f the mi no ri ty P P a re bridg ed by PP lam ellae w hich hav e g ro w n in the L DPE-rich ma trix. These are st udied by perma nga ni c etching f ollo w ed by elect ron and optical microscopi es. T wo simila r PP t ypes a re compared, o ne sy nthesi zed w ith Zi eg ler-Na t ta ca talyst and one wi th met allocene cataly st. The metallo cene-ca taly sed ma terial crystalli zed much mo re slo wl y due t o the presence o f regi o defects in the chai ns, even though the ov erall co ncent ratio n of tactici ty def ect s in the Ziegler-Nat ta m aterial is m uch higher.
