A series of adipic acid metal salts as nucleating agents for isotactic polypropylene (iPP) were synthesized from adipic acid (Adi) and corresponding metal hydroxides or chlorides by neutralization or double decomposition reaction. The effect of different adipate on the crystallization and melting behavior of iPP were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results indicated that after adding different metal salts of adipic acids, the crystallization peak temperature of nucleated iPP was increased by different degree. Adi, b...
