Microporous films were obtained from an extruded sheet of isotactic polypropylene (PP) containing N,N’-dicyclohexyl-2,6-naphthalene dicarboxamide as a crystal nucleating agent under suitable hot-stretching conditions. The crystalline structure before and after the stretching operations was evaluated by two-dimensional wide-angle X-ray diffraction, and it was found that the original sheet contains a large amount of β-form crystals oriented to the transversal direction (TD) by the extrusion at 200 °C, which is lower than the dissolution temperature of the nucleating agent in PP. During stretching of the sheet, α-form crystals oriented to the stretching direction appeared by the transformation from β- to α-form crystals. Moreover, numerous microvoids were generated by stretching around at 100 °C to the machine or flow direction (MD) of the sheet, although the microvoids were prolonged. The sequential TD stretching, however, expanded the area of voids, leading to a microporous film with a pronounced porosity.

We investigated the effect of shear history on the crystallization behavior of isotactic polypropylene (PP) containing a fibrous nucleating agent, i.e., 1, 3 : 2, 4-bis-o-(4-methylbenzylidene)-Dsorbitol (MDBS), using a polarized optical microscope attached with a parallel-plate shear device. The addition of MDBS greatly enhanced the crystallization temperature of PP with an accelerated crystallization rate. Although shear history applied during cooling barely affected the crystallization temperature for the sample containing MDBS, it greatly enhanced the PP orientation, even with a low shear rate. This was attributed to the formation of a pseudo shish-kebab structure, in which MDBS acted as the shish. It was also found that the addition of MDBS reduced the amount of β -form crystals, while PP without MDBS exhibited β -form crystals after applying an appropriate shear history.
