This book extensively reviews Polypropylene (PP), the second most
widely produced thermoplastic material, having been produced for
over 60 years. Its synthesis, processing and application are still
accompanied by vigorous R&D developments because the properties
of PP are at the borderline between those of commodity and
engineering thermoplastics. Readers are introduced to various
tacticities and polymorphs of PP, and their effects on structural
properties. Further, the book addresses the control of optical
properties using nucleants, provides strategies for overcoming the
limited cold/impact resistance of PP, examines in detail the
effects of recycling, and presents guidelines for the property
modification of PPs through foaming, filling and reinforcing with
respect to target applications. Special attention is paid to
descriptions and models of properties as a function of
morphological variables. Last but not least, the book suggests
potential practical applications of PP-based systems, especially in
the packaging, appliances, building/construction, textile and
automotive sectors. Each chapter, written by internationally
respected scientists, reflects the current state-of-art in the
respective field and offers a vital source of information for
students, researchers and engineers interested in the morphology,
properties, testing and modeling of PP and PP-based systems. The
content is indispensable to the appropriate application of PPs and
related composites.
