Structure and properties of syndiotactic polypropylene

Abstract

Syndiotactic polypropylene prepared by new polymerization technology has been found to be soft and clear and exhibits completely different characteristics compared with conventional isotactic polypropylene so far mostly studied. Relationship between properties and structure in polypropylene has been discussed. Electrical properties of this new type of syndiotactic polypropylene have also been studied and discussed in terms of morphology of the film which depends on preparation condition.
