ENEA-IRIS Open Archive è l’archivio della produzione scientifica dell'ENEA, realizzato con l'obiettivo di raccogliere, catalogare e rendere facilmente accessibili in rete i risultati della ricerca. Gli autori dell’ENEA provvedono a depositare le proprie pubblicazioni (articoli su rivista, presentazioni a congressi, report, ecc.). In particolare, quelle finanziate dalla Commissione Europea nell’ambito del programma H2020 (che prevede il deposito obbligatorio in un Repository), una volta caricate, vengono automaticamente importate dal portale europeo OpenAIRE. È possibile inserire, o importare direttamente dalle banche dati previste, le informazioni descrittive del documento e anche allegare, ove consentito dalla normativa sul diritto d'autore, il testo completo della pubblicazione.

ENEA-IRIS Open Archive utilizza la piattaforma IRIS (Institutional Research Information System) sviluppata da CINECA.

Abstract

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (D5.c.) and Optical Micr05COpy bave been used in order lo assess the influence of molecular weight and molecular weight distnbution (MWD) on thermal behavior and crystaIlization process of isotactic polypropylene (iPp) samples, all characterized by very lùgh isotacticity index (98 wl"). 1be values of lhe equilibrium melting temperature (f .J and surface free energy of folding (a.) of iPP Iamellar crystals have been determined aa:ording to the kinetic theory of polymer crystallization. Such lhermodynamic parameters were found lo increase with increasing iPP molecular weight, for a given iPP MWD and to decrease with inc:reasing iPP MWD, for a given iPP molecular weighl Also the values of the radial growth rale of iPP spherulites and nucleation density were found to be affected noticeably by molecular weight and MWD of iPP. For a given undercooling, 61, G decreases strongly with increasing iPP molecular weighl On the other hand faster nucleation was shown by iPP samples with comparatively lower molecular weight and broader MWD.
