An approach for prediction optimum crystallization conditions for formation of beta polypropylene by response surface methodology (RSM)

In this work beta nucleating agent is synthesized and mixed with various grades of polypropylene (PP). The beta nucleating agent (β-NA) content, melt flow rate (MFR) of PP and cooling rate as independent variables are correlated to the beta crystal content (β-PP) by using Response Surface Methodolog...
