Abstract:Polypropylene (PP) membranes were respectively prepared using adipic acid (APA) and Sorbitol (NA-40) as nucleating agent via thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) method. The effects of nucleating agent content and cooling temperature on the structure and performance of membrane were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). WAXD spectrogram indicates that three kinds of α, β and γ-form crystal were formed in this… Show more
