Abstract

The following recent results on growth transitions and crystal morphology of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) are presented: a) observation of a hitherto unsuspected low-temperature growth transition between β and α phases; b) structural characterization and experimental check of the γ phase which is made of chains with non-parallel axes, and c) observation by atomic force microscopy of the crystaloographic (010) contact face epitaxially interacting with benzoic acid substrate.
