Microstructural orientation of isotactic polypropylene studied by computerized scanning eletron microscopy image analysis

We evaluate the orientation of microstructural elements of isotatic polypropylene (i-PP) before and after deformation using computerized "Quantikov" software analysis of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images. We observed that before deformation through uniaxial compression, the polymer...
