Abstract:Isotactic poly (1-butene) (iPB) is an interesting semi-crystalline thermoplastic material characterized by notable physical and mechanical attributes encompassing superior creep and stress resistance, elevated toughness, stiffness, and thermal endurance. These distinctive features position iPB as a viable candidate for specific applications; however, its widespread utilization is hindered by certain inherent limitations. Indeed, iPB manifests an intricate polymorphic behavior, and the gradual and spontaneous t… Show more
