Abstract:In the present study, a novel crystalline nucleating agent for isotactic polypropylene (PP) comprising the calcium salt of 4‐methyl‐cyclohexane‐1,2‐dicarboxylic acid (MHPA‐Ca) is developed. The performance of the nucleating agent is evaluated by determining the crystallization temperature and isothermal crystallization period of the PP by differential scanning calorimetry, and comparing them with those obtained using the calcium salt of cyclohexane‐1,2‐dicarboxylic acid (HHPA‐Ca), which is one of the most effe… Show more
