Octamethylenedicarboxylic dibenzoylhydrazide (TMC-300) was used as a nucleating agent for isotactic polypropylene (iPP) for the first time. The Avrami method and the Caze method were used to analyze the isothermal and non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of iPP incorporated with TMC-300, respectively. During isothermal crystallization, the half crystallization time at 130°C reduces from 130s of virgin iPP to 44s after addition of TMC-300, which reflects that TMC-300 increased the crystallization rate of iPP obviously. The crystallization ac...
