The isotactic polypropylene glass was prepared by quenching the molten film in dry-ice ethanol solution(below--75℃).The specific volume of the quenched film was 1.135 cm3/g at--25℃.The relaxation and crystallization process of isotactic polypropylene glass was fol-lowed by density measurement and IR spectroscopy.Below--40℃,the thermal expen-sion coefficient of amorphous isotactic-polypropylene Was found to be 2.4X10-4/℃ and increased to 4.0 x 10-4/℃ at--40 to--20℃.Over --20℃,volume contraction took place noticeably,indicating the presence of crystallization and relaxation of the frozen maolecules.Below--23℃,there Was no change of the absorbance ratio (A998cm-1/A974cm-1) of the IR spectra of isotactic·polypropylene glass.But when the quenched film was heated to above --20℃,this ratio and the crystallization rate increased gradually.Because of crystallization.the“true” Tg of amorphours isotactie polypropylene could not be determined experimentally by conventional methods.The“true” Tg is probably just above -20℃.
