Popis: The isothermal crystallization of polypropylene (PP) melt blended with a glycerpl ester of hydrogenated rosin (ester gum) (PP/ROSIN) were prepared under select conditions using up to 50% of rosin revealed phase separation. The presence of rosin changed the radial growth rate and size of PP spherulites. The rosin-separated domains were noticed in the intraspherulitic and interspherulitic regions and increased in size when the oligomer enriched the blends. Up to 30% of rosin, samples isothermally crystallized at 125°C showed a decrease of spherulite radial growth rate and above that amount an increase was observed.
