Abstract:
Solid-state shear pulverization of semi-crystalline polymers and copolymers thereof and related methods for enhanced crystallization kinetics and physical/mechanical properties.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of using solid-state shear pulverization to affect crystallization kinetics of a semi-crystalline homopolymer, said method comprising:\n providing a solid semi-crystalline homopolymer component, said homopolymer component a single homopolymer, comprising less than about 50% crystallinity; introducing said single homopolymer into a solid-state shear pulverization apparatus, said apparatus comprising a cooling component at least partially sufficient to maintain said homopolymer in a solid state; shear pulverizing said single homopolymer, said pulverization at least partially efficient to affect at least one of a crystallization temperature and isothermal crystallization half-time of said single homopolymer, and said pulverization substantially absent at least one of a nucleating agent and a filler component; and discharging said shear pulverized single homopolymer from said apparatus.
