聚丙烯有着机械性能好、相对密度低、无毒、耐热性好、耐腐蚀性好、易于型加工等优良特点,在化
工、化纤、建材、轻工、家电、汽车制品、包装等领域被广泛应用
Polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer, made by the chemical industry and used in a wide variety of applications, including food packaging, textiles, plastic parts and reusable containers of various types, thermal pants and shirts made for the military, laboratory equipment, loudspeakers, automotive components, and polymer banknotes.
在商业上大多数聚丙烯原料(颗粒)的结晶程度处在低密度与高密度聚乙烯之间。它的样式弹性模量也是处在一个中间大小的状态;尽管它没有高密度聚乙烯那样硬,而且也没有低密度聚乙烯那样软,不过这样就使得这种聚乙烯成为一种工程塑料的替代品
Most commercial polypropylene(Particles) has an intermediate level of crystallinity between that of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and high density polyethylene (HDPE); its Young's modulus is also intermediate. Although it is less tough than HDPE and less flexible than LDPE, it is much less brittle than HDPE. This allows polypropylene to be used as a replacement for engineering plastics.

An important concept in understanding the link between the structure of polypropylene and its properties is tacticity. The relative orientation of each methyl group (CH3 in the figure at left) relative to the methyl groups on neighboring monomers has a strong effect on the finished polymer's ability to form crystals, because each methyl group takes up space and constrains
backbone bending. Like most other vinyl polymers, useful polypropylene cannot be made by radical polymerization.
理解聚丙烯分子链对其结构和性质的作用一个很重要的。甲基集团间的相对位置与甲基间集团在相邻单体的位置有关,这些位置关系可以影响聚合物形成结晶的能力,这是因为每个甲基集团都占据了一定的空间,并且迫使聚乙烯骨架弯曲。像大多数乙烯聚合物一样,有用的聚丙烯不能由自由基聚合制得。
