PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION ON THE MISCIBILITY OF ISOTACTIC POLYPROPYLENE (iPP) AND SYNDIOTACTIC POLYPROPYLENE (sPP) BLENDS

Experimental miscibility studies were performed on different compositions of iPP/sPP blends, where sPP has a low syndiotacticity ([rrrr] = 81%). Combining optical microscopy, rheology, and solid state NMR spectroscopy, the miscibility of the blends was investigated at different scales in the traditi...

Summary:Experimental miscibility studies were performed on different compositions of iPP/sPP blends, where sPP has a low syndiotacticity ([rrrr] = 81%). Combining optical microscopy, rheology, and solid state NMR spectroscopy, the miscibility of the blends was investigated at different scales in the traditionally thought to be "immiscible" iPP/sPP blends. For the composition of iPP/sPP (90/10) blend, it shows to be miscible in the melt, and furthermore, the existence of intermolecular chain interactions between sPP and iPP components was detected in the solid state.
