Nucleating Agents
7/27/2008
“Nucleating agents are added to provide the user with
some degree of control over this initiation of crystallization; the addition of
a nucleating agent to a polymer melt results, on cooling, in the appearance of a
substantial increase in heterogeneous nucleation and thus a reduction in the
size of crystalline structures.”
