Recently, studies on different aspects of the iPP β-polymorph have been published [1, 2]. This paper completes these previous works by analyzing the formation of the β-polymorph starting from samples of metallocenic iPP of different molecular weight. We also consider the effect of the cooling rate in the appearance of β-polymorph in the iPP samples that were studied. date: 2009 date_type: published publisher: Wiley-VCH Verlag Berlin official_url: http://www.icpc-conference.org/previous_editions/2nd_icpc_valencia_2008 full_text_status: public pres_type: poster place_of_pub: Weinheim, Alemania pagerange: 0-0 pages: 216 event_title: 2nd International Conference on Polyolefin Characterization (ICPC 2008) event_location: Valencia, España event_dates: 15/09/2008-17/09/2008 event_type: conference institution: Industriales department: otro refereed: TRUE book_title: Study of the Molecular Weight Influence on the Formation of the ß-polymorph in Metallocenic Isotactic Polypropylene rights: by-nc-nd citation: Benavente Castro, Mª del Rosario, Polo-Corpa, M.J., Pérez Tabernero, Ernesto and Lorenzo Esteban, Vicente (2009).
