Abstrakt:	In this work, isotactic polypropylene (iPP) melt was slowly extruded through a slit die of a single-screw extruder. Once the iPP melt left the die, it was uniaxially stretched at different stretching rates (SRs). Via this process its microstructure can be manipulated, it was subsequently investigated by wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized optical microscopy (POM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Furthermore, the mechanical properties (including tensile strength, modulus, toughness, and strain-hardening) were investigated. The results showed that the tensile strength and modulus of the melt-stretched iPP films gradually increased with increasing SRs. In addition, the toughness and elongation at break showed maximum values for iPP films melt-stretched at 30 cm/min. Moreover, compared with other melt-stretched films, the iPP films melt-stretched at 90 cm/min exhibited an obvious strain-hardening behavior at lower strain. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
