The melting behavior of PP/EVA and PP-EP/EVA blends non-isothermally crystallized was studied. The morphology of blends was evaluated in terms of crystal habits, spherulitic structure and melting characteristics. For PP and EVA homopolymers the observed crystal habits were f-monoclinic and orthorhombic corresponding to PP and PE cyrstals since this last is a part of the EVA copolymer. Two types of f-crystals were associated to the experimental data and they were designated as low (LPf-C) and high (HPf-C) perfection f-crystals. These crystals were relatively unaffected in nature after blending the PP or the PP-EP with the EVA copolymer. Nevertheless, crystallinity decreased and the spherulitic structure changed. In differential scanning calorimetry [DSC] heating traces two partially overlapped endothermic signals were observed during heating of the non-isothermally crystallized specimen. The low temperature endotherm (I) was associated to melting of LPf-C structures while the high temperature endotherm (II) was related to two different melting processes, one corresponding to HPf-C structures and the other to recrystallized or reorganized material. The shifting of endotherm I to lower temperatures was considered an effect of interfacial interactions in the crystalline zones between the LPf-C of PP and the orthorhombic crystals of EVA. Modulated differential scanning calorimetry [MDSC] traces corroborated that recrystallization is higher in PP/EVA blends the opposite being the case in PP-EP/EVA blends. Differences in the multiple melting between PP/EVA and PP-EP/EVA blends are discussed in terms of molecular interactions. |
