Abstract
Nucleation of crystallizable polymers is quantified through an efficie ncy scale obtained and calculated using differential scanning calorime try (DSC). This scale, defined in self-nucleation experiments, is a si mple, convenient and reliable calorimetric efficiency scale. Typical n ucleating agents for isotactic polypropylene are evaluated; they rate at best at 60 to = 70% on this efficiency scale.
