Abstract In a recent paper [1], the preparation techniques, structural features, crystallization, melting characteristics, and certain properties of the β-modification of isotactic polypropylene (β-IPP) were reviewed. Possible uses of β-IPP were demonstrated through example applications. The problems involved with the processing of β-nucleated polypropylene were analyzed and the conditions of the processing technology of β-IPP end-products were discussed. In the present paper, the results of the studies on the injection moulding technology of a commercial β-nucleated polypropylene are addressed.
