Influence of Cooling Rate on Crystallization Behavior of Semi-Crystalline Polypropylene: Experiments and Mathematical Modeling

As crystallization behavior has a great effect on the injection molding process, the flash differential scanning calorimetry (FSC) method was employed to study the influence of cooling rate on the crystallization behavior of a semi-crystalline polypropylene (PP). As the experimental results show, cr...

description As crystallization behavior has a great effect on the injection molding process, the flash differential scanning calorimetry (FSC) method was employed to study the influence of cooling rate on the crystallization behavior of a semi-crystalline polypropylene (PP). As the experimental results show, crystallization temperatures (onset crystallization temperature and maximum crystallization temperature) and crystallinity decrease as the cooling rate increases. In addition, the corresponding mathematical models were established to describe the relationship between the crystallization temperatures/crystallinity and the cooling rate. A revised Tait equation was also carried out based on the mathematical models.
