PAGE 7 PAGE 7 聚丙烯——Polypropylene (PP) 教学设计  教学内容与设计 时间分配 或备注说明 Polypropylene Polypropylene (PP) was developed in Spain in 1954 by professor Giulio Natta. He was able to produce the resin by using catalysts from the Polyethylene industry and applying them to propylene gas. The PP monomer is a single bond between two carbon atoms and can be seen below. It is similar to Polyethylene in many ways, but the methyl group that takes the place of the hydrogen reduces the chain flexibility, making polypropylene a stiffer material.

Crystallinity – PP is semi-crystalline (around 75%) Notes： specific gravity：比重 Crystallinity：n.结晶性，结晶度 Hygroscopy – PP is not hygroscopic and does not require drying when processed Mechanical Properties – PP has a tensile strength that averages around 4,500 psi and its tensile modulus around 175,000 psi. Notes： Hygroscopy：n.潮解性，吸水性 Mechanical Properties ：力学性能 tensile strength ：拉伸强度 modulus：模量 Chemical Resistance – PP has excellent chemical resistance. It is one of the most chemically resistant thermoplastic resins. It is not quite as good as HDPE, but it is still one of the best in terms of chemical resistance. Optical Properties- PP has a high degree of crystallinity making its optical properties quite poor. Notes： Chemical Resistance ：n.耐化学性 thermoplastic ：n.热塑性塑料 resins ：n.树脂 Optical Property：光学性能 Flammability- PP is classified in the “quite flammable” category which is the lowest rating a p
