Low-molecular compounds present in the melt of isotactic polypropylene
in concentrations exceeding a certain limit, transform some elements
of disordered domains into additional sorption centers for the same co
mpounds. These centers can persist after the removal of the low-molecu
lar compound leading to a post-plasticizing effect. This effect slowly
disappears at elevated temperatures (80-100 degrees C). The theory of
sorption centers rearrangement is discussed.
