Abstract: The polymorphic behavior of syndiotactic polypropylene (s-PP) crystallized from the melt under different conditions was investigated by means of WAXD and DSC.The isothermal melt crystallization of s-PP proceeded in form I at tc≥110 ℃ and in form Ⅱ at tc<110 ℃.S-PP crystallized nonisothermally from the melt was the mixture of forms Ⅰ and Ⅱ.With increasing the cooling rate(a), the content of form I increased, and the content of form Ⅱ decreased.On heating, at 10 K/min, of quenched s-PP, it crystallized in form Ⅱ at t<70 ℃, continuing heating resulted in form Ⅱ→form I transition, which was an endothermal process.
