Study on Mechanical Properties of PP Modified by β Nucleating Agent under the Low Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

The ethylene-propylene polymer (PP) was modified by using a rare earth β-nucleating agent (WBG-II). The crystallization characteristics of PP induced by WBG-II were investigated through the wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). The effect of β-nucleating agent on the mechanical property of PP under low temperature was also researched. The results confirmed that β-nucleating agent WBG-II can change the crystal structure of PP and induce the β-form crystals in the PP to develop. Moreover, under the room temperature, with the increment of WBG-II, the tensile strength, bending strength and modulus of the modified PP increase, but the impact strength and elongation at break decrease; and especially at-10 °C, this tendency is more obvious.
