Abstract: The dynamic-mech. properties of polypropylene at low frequencies (∼1 cycle/sec.), detd. by the method of free torsion swings, were described. The position of the temp. of the main β-dispersion max. (1-5°) decreases slightly with increasing concn. of the atactic component (0-15%). The height of the β max. is directly proportional to the concn. of the atactic component. The resulting β-dispersion max. and the crystn. follow the regressive dependence on the atacticity. There is a very close, practically linear indirect relation between the atacticity and crystn. at temps. above 0°. 50 references.
