Spherulitic Crystallization in Polypropylene
Abstract
A survey has been made of spherulites formed by the isothermal crystallization of polypropylene from the melt in the temperature range 110°–148°C. Four types of spherulite have been distinguished and their structural morphology, optical properties, melting behavior, and growth rates have been examined.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
