Abstract

Elastomeric polypropylene characterized by chains with an isotactic and atactic stereoblock structure shows elastic behavior in a large range of deformations notwithstanding the high degree of crystallinity, because of the occurrence of flip-flop reversible reorientation of crystals of the γ form that occur during stretching and the successive release of tension, as shown schematically in the figure.
