Effect of Thermal Cycle on the Relative Variations of Thermal Properties and Crystalinity of (PP/EPR)/CaCO3 Mixtures | Chapter 8 | Research Aspects in Chemical and Materials Sciences Vol. 1

 The goal of this chapter is to look at how the constants of thermal properties and the degree of crystallinity of mixes (PP/EPR)/Calcium carbonates prepared using the Micro Bivis vary over time. Three calcium carbonate models were utilised to strengthen the basic copolymer PP/EPR at a low level: socal312, socal322v, and Winnofil spm (5 percent ). Using differential scanning calorimetry DSC, the various combinations were then subjected to two cycles of thermal loading. Finally, we determined the degree of crystallinity of the mixes using the thermal characteristics of isotactic polypropylene (TfP, TcP, HfP, HcP). One of the project's objectives is to reduce the energy cost of mixing mixes. The relative differences between the aforementioned characteristics and those of the basic copolymer were measured. It shows that when calcium carbonate loading is modest, the enthalpies of crystallisation during the second exothermic cycle fall, with values as high as 5,53 J/gPP for the basic copolymer PP/EPR. During the second endothermic cycle, the melting temperatures of isotactic polypropylene for all blends, as well as the basic copolymer PP/EPR, rise. Calcium carbonates have been demonstrated to lower the melting energy of isotactic polypropylene even at a low loading rate for the majority. The existence of a so-called limited amorphous phase in our composites enhances this phenomena, which is connected to the number of endothermic cycles.
